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

[-] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 52 points 5 months ago

Well for some... It's a thing you put fireworks into....

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 25 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

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

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 9 points 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 12 points 5 months ago

I never thought to use one of these as a mortar tube, that's a brilliant idea.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

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

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

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

[-] CarterH739@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

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

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

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.

Here I was thinking it was an unpainted big red key
