The problem is disposing of the resulting hardcore, it'll cost quite a chunk to tip.
I guess some councils charge?
Local residents can dispose of rubble/concrete/bricks/tiles (but not breeze blocks) for free at the Wandsworth tip as long as it's from household/personal use and not trade waste and as long as you turn up in a car not a van.
Maybe your local council has a similar facility?
(The Wandsworth tip is just for residents of Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Wandsworth or Westminster.)

I'd take the chance for a weekend in all honesty.
Besides, just return it if it starts making funny noises.

I'd rather hire a decent branded industrial tool rather than a cheap almost 'disposable' version from Screwfix, especially for tools I might not use much. I just bought a cheap mixing paddle drill (£100) that I gave a beating last week and it's already making an ominous whining. Probably user error.
@tommmmmmm If it's just paving, a sledge hammer and pick axe will make mince meat of the job. The problem is disposing of the resulting hardcore, it'll cost quite a chunk to tip.
