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.
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.

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.

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

Here I was thinking it was an unpainted big red key
