??? 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.
Relevant
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.
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. 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 ;)
Here I was thinking it was an unpainted big red key
Age wasn’t mentioned
Edit: I can’t read
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.
That isn’t a generational thing it’s an urban/rural thing.
Yes, that is indeed the point of the shitpost.
Didn’t see what community it was on. Apologies.
No apologies needed. That’s the fun of making these posts. Because people react as if I’m dumb. Which I am, of course.
Well I’m hardly the one to point fingers. I have a first rate rural education you know.
In the city they call it street smarts. I call it field smarts.
‘hillbilly skeleton key’ I like that
Also, if you fill them with concrete, you got yourself a hillbilly skeleton key.
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!
They will not divide us!
OP out here posting boomer humor…
This is how we take back the internet
What a fuckin ride this has all been gd. Let’s do it, Denton.
Commenters unaware of the sub
Driving unaware posts.
Post boomer
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.
OK, Boomer…
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’m guessing this English but I’m just not dumb enough to get it
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
I made the mistake of using one to pound metal stakes without ear protection.
Ugh. My hands and back hurt just looking at that.
What’s my fleshlight doing in this picture?
I thought your fleshlight was in the barn
MmmmmooOOOOOOOO!
Yes, I have seen Clarksons‘s Farm.
Don’t anger Caleb by doing it like Jeremy did
obviously a fleshlight
*Robocop’s Fleshlight
Also doubles as a dildo. Multi-purpose, useful!
And if you use ear protection you can get off my property you piece of shit grandson
I’ve put so many ground rods into this amazing earth. These bad boys have destroyed my shoulders.
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.
It’s a “state police open up-er”
That’s one cool looking bong /jk
Well it does make a BONG sound
