??? 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

The tube looks hollow. SWAT would use a solid ram.

[–] simplejack 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

RAM makes police vehicles, but the Ford Police Interceptor tends to be more popular with SWAT.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Those are closed on both ends and have both handles on one side or one handle on the top with handles on both sides.

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.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] CarterH739 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] SzethFriendOfNimi 18 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds 1 points 6 months ago

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 ;)

Here I was thinking it was an unpainted big red key
