Exactly. Back breaking work but this is so much better than any other manual alternatives.

??? What does a fence post driver have to do with your age?

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

*ground rod driver

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.

Man, I hate driving rods with anything other than a hammer driver. I live in the Appalachians and every damn time I hit some gigantic river rock or some shit, its never just 8’ of clay. That post-driver is a step up from a sledge like you said for sure, but imma just hop on an excavator and shove the bitch in if I can these days. Too old for the dumb shit ;)

No, I’m pretty sure it’s how SWAT get through doors

The tube looks hollow. SWAT would use a solid ram.
simplejack@lemmy.world 5 months ago
RAM makes police vehicles, but the Ford Police Interceptor tends to be more popular with SWAT.

Those are closed on both ends and have both handles on one side or one handle on the top with handles on both sides.
bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 months ago
I never thought to use one of these as a mortar tube, that’s a brilliant idea.

And for a certain group of people, their houses get fucked with by cops using a variant of this.
