I have a selection - if I wanted to break concrete I'd use my breaker.
If carrying tool weight's a problem then drill a load of holes. Slab's aren't usually very hard so if you belt it with a sledge it'll probably break between the holes, into chunks.
That "pipe" looks like some old electrical earth rods I've seen. Just chop it off it's not doing any good now!

I recently had access to both my Dewalt breaker (had a Milwaukee and a Kango prior) and a Titan. The difference in punch and wieldy-ness is like night and day. I let my fencer use mine all day as it was taking too long to break the old fence plugs with his. Mainly due to the way the percussion works. His would just bounce around and slip off.
For the price, one of the best breakers I have used.

At ten times the price of the Titan John posted i would hope it's better, plus yours can't drill, for a diy'er the Titan is ok most of the time.
Fair point.
All my tools are serviceable and that's important. You don't get that with cheap tat. I'm not fixated on high end particularly otherwise I'd be buying Hilti and Festool. Nor am I particularly a one brand man. I pick reasonably priced tools that are best suited to aggressive day to day use.

It's just quicker and more efficient. Probably lighter too. When you have a lot of awkward breaking to do, it's a gem.
Another vote for the Titan SDS drill/breaker here.
Although I’m just a diy’er, my first one was £35.99 and lasted 10 years. Replaced it with the equivalent model for £59.99.

I still think that the "pipe" looks like a wooden handle.
