take to split a gargantuan rock in half ? It ’s astonishingly easy . Or at least , it is if you have the proper bad ass tools , like a gun - powered cut - off saw with a diamond blade or a rotary - power hammer drill with a masonry bit .

Once you get your hands on the tools , all you need to do is drill some holes into the stone , perplex some wedges in , and then pounding at the wedges to break it open . If you do it right , it splits powerful in one-half .
