??? What does a fence post driver have to do with your age?
Well for some… It’s a thing you put fireworks into…
No, I’m pretty sure it’s how SWAT get through doors
Those are closed on both ends and have both handles on one side or one handle on the top with handles on both sides.
The tube looks hollow. SWAT would use a solid ram.
RAM makes police vehicles, but the Ford Police Interceptor tends to be more popular with SWAT.
I never thought to use one of these as a mortar tube, that’s a brilliant idea.
Exactly. Back breaking work but this is so much better than any other manual alternatives.
We didn’t have one of these. Instead, I got to crouch on the ground and hold the post with my hands while my father brought the front-end loader bucket down on it. Good times.
Ah yes, the “we’re young enough to have another kid” parenting method
Key memory unlocked. Oh damn I just remembered the sheer amount of faith I had to remind myself I had in my father’s post driving ability

When I first started in electrical work, we’d take turns with a sledge hammer. Then we bought one of these, and it cut the time in half. Now, I use a driver bit for my demolition hammer and it’s done in about 30 seconds. The driver bit also works well for fence posts, just sleeve a 24" section of EMT over it.
Here I was thinking it was an unpainted big red key
fuck all these ‘tribalism’ promotion posts, we should be finding ways to work together. Lisa, you’re tearing me apart!
metal pipe with handles 👍
Gen alpha are literal children. They don’t know what a lot of things are
And if you use ear protection you can get off my property you piece of shit grandson
WHAT!?! SPEAK UP PLEASE!
Ugh. My hands and back hurt just looking at that.
Ngl I thought this was some form of battering ram
It kinda is.
Fill it with concrete and it’ll probably work very well to bash doors
It’s a battering ram for dirt.
It looks like a potato gun
It is much less fun than that
OP out here posting boomer humor…

It’s so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.
I don’t think most gen alphas are tall enough to use a post driver effectively. I’ve got early model alphas and they are barely 5’4".
Post driver! They have hand held gas powered ones now BRrRrRrRrRrRrPppPPpp
are you calling me old?
Ooo so fancy. Mine was the old fashioned that looked like two really curvy shovels joined together at the hilt.
A fence post driver is so much better than a post hole digger. Just give her a whack whack whack until it’s set. Handling the wire, though…that’s a bitch, especially if it’s barbed. Erecting an electric fence was child’s play, though.
I have a scar on my wrist from one second of not paying attention to barbed wire. Queasiness warning: I remember staring at the muscle and watching it contract until blood came gushing out. Farm life is quite something
