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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
I'm gen Z, grew up in the city, and I know what that is because we used em in the Boy Scouts. It's for pounding fence posts into the ground. The other end is welded shut and you put the post in the ground, put it over top of it, and pick it up and slam it down a buncha times
They also make ideal launchers for fire works:) especially in areas where the local police get pissy despite them being legal, you can go out to the country side, mount it upside down and fire off some rockets and yank it out and move a few county roads over before the sheriff can arrive.
I used one a couple weeks ago to put up supports for my grape vines. But when I was a teenager I had a horse and was constantly rotating his grazing area so I am very familiar with it.
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
??? 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.
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.
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.
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
Yes, that is indeed the point of the shitpost.
No apologies needed. That's the fun of making these posts. Because people react as if I'm dumb. Which I am, of course.
In the city they call it street smarts. I call it field smarts.

'hillbilly skeleton key' I like that
I assumed it was a police battering ram, tbh.
fuck all these 'tribalism' promotion posts, we should be finding ways to work together. Lisa, you're tearing me apart!
Oh hi, Mark
They will not divide us!
Gen alpha are literal children. They don't know what a lot of things are
Fucking idiots
I don't care who they were fucking
That was my point, yes.
OP out here posting boomer humor....
This is how we take back the internet
Commenters unaware of the sub
Driving unaware posts.
Post boomer

OK, Boomer...

It's so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.
... Is-is it a sex thing?
It can be if you want
So hot rn
Butt plug next question
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
He's never played the game!

I watched my brother do this to a cow/horse electric fence, can confirm, fucking hilarious
Okay now im curious, why does an pear orchard need an electric fence?
Keep animals out, would be my guess.
Keep people in, would be my guess.
To keep the trees from escaping, would be my guess.
I guess in case people try to jump over to steal the pears before they can be harvested
But are these potential Peach-Thieves sooooo determined that a normal Fence is not enough? I like peaches, but climb a fence to steal some? ._.
Pear stealing whores.
Ents.
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.
obviously a fleshlight
*Robocop's Fleshlight
Also doubles as a dildo. Multi-purpose, useful!

I made the mistake of using one to pound metal stakes without ear protection.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Plenty of room at the Hotel Tinnitus
Ugh. My hands and back hurt just looking at that.
It's a "state police open up-er"
What's my fleshlight doing in this picture?
I thought your fleshlight was in the barn
MmmmmooOOOOOOOO!
And if you use ear protection you can get off my property you piece of shit grandson
WHAT!?! SPEAK UP PLEASE!
Yes, I have seen Clarksons‘s Farm.
Don't anger Caleb by doing it like Jeremy did
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".
That's one cool looking bong /jk
Well it does make a BONG sound
It looks like a potato gun
It is much less fun than that
Close enough, we'll accept this answer.
Its a post driver for t-posts that get barbed wire around pastures
It's a whoompty whoomp.
Probably true
dinosaur fleshlight
I'm a millennial. I guess if it was bolted to the ground, you could lock a bike to it?
It's for sinking fence poles lol (also a millennial btw) - you use it to hammer them into the ground and it sucks.
Same, and after learning what it is, now I’m wondering what driving fence posts has to do with generations.
Well you know I'm not rural. It never connected for me that these were originally for putting in fence posts.
They're also a universal key...
hahah, never seen a bazooka ?
That thing is full of chewing gum?
clank clank clank clink "Yup, this one's done"

... Or so I'm told.
Please just don't do this during a drought or burn ban. So many fucking fires caused by fireworks each year. So dumb. Don't do it.
What do I win if I own one? It's red.
Soreness!
Mine too! Home Depot?
A headache. I have a yellow one lol
are you calling me old?
I used one a couple weeks ago to put up supports for my grape vines. But when I was a teenager I had a horse and was constantly rotating his grazing area so I am very familiar with it.
It's a banger!

Post driver! They have hand held gas powered ones now BRrRrRrRrRrRrPppPPpp
Ooo so fancy. Mine was the old fashioned that looked like two really curvy shovels joined together at the hilt.

There is a cool trick using these to pull t-posts.
Potato gun
I was literally looking to buy one since I just bought a house and need to use one.
Edit: just read the actual title. C'mon man, this is boomer humor type of stuff.
I thought this was a weird mixer attachment at first
I've used one to set t-posts for steel targets before a match. It's ever so much easier and faster than using a small sledge hammer.
Spring loaded or pass.
It's called 'hearing damage, the cowhand communal commiseration.'
It's the tool for making golf course holes.
Better keep that handy for your big dick energy after you showed Gen A who's boss 🙄
This is what people used to call a "kazoo". If you've been around as long as I have, you might have played one too!
Grabbed my ol man's winch and made a flying fox with his one.
