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

      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.

          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.

          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 ;)

    That isn’t a generational thing it’s an urban/rural thing. A 5 year old from a farming community would know what that is. Also, if you fill them with concrete, you got yourself a hillbilly skeleton key.

      Yes, that is indeed the point of the shitpost.

      I assumed it was a police battering ram, tbh.

      Gross. Boomer is like a known cringe thing. This is just some tool. Who gives a shit how old someone is using it? Giving it “boomer” vibes is just a low energy joke.

        I know i come to shitpost subs for the bombastic, high energy, illuminating content

        wait til you grow up and come to understand that people sometimes have to talk about things BECAUSE they’re fucking cringe and that that, indeed, has been the entire point of the “boomer” meme - THAT BOOMER BEHAVIOUR IS CRINGE - from the beginning. The whole fucking point of it.

        and anyway bitching shit is low energy is itself pretty fuckin low energy; i mean it’s responding on the right level which is good, but then you break it by turning it into an insult. You want your energy higher, get a coffee and bring it.

    It’s so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.

    This is the thing to get a pole in the ground. I used it to put up an electric fence around a pear orchard once

      I recently got to use a pole drivers powered by a little 2 stroke motor. It took like 5 sec to sink a tpost down 3 feet. It was so easy and quick that it was kinda upsetting, makes using the old pole drivers feel like you’re a monkey banging on rocks.
