Have you found if there is anything to put on the end of the pipe, such as a sacrificial cone tip that helps spear down into the ground and it stays in the ground once driven in? I run 3 inch pipes and can't find a cone/spear tip to help it drive down easier
@@SWiFence Good call. Thanks. I live in an area where 2 to 3 feet down is all river bed so the rocks are very smooth and rounded. I thought if we can spear a way down then that may move rocks easier. Whereas a 3 inch pipe hits a rock and it's done going any deeper.
Hello, I am a fence engineering contractor from Taiwan. We have our own team to produce fences and also have a construction team. I am very envious that you have so many convenient tools for use. I hope I can communicate with you and learn from you. Professional method
Always enjoy and appreciate all the tests you guys perform on here. We use the rhinos, but I have heard good things about the us hammer, gonna have to give them a try. Hope you guys have a great dang day. Olsen Brothers for the win, happy fencing 💪🏻
Born and raised, north west wyoming. Not a fencer but have done lot's of fencing jobs , Pinedale, Bondurant, Jackson, Alpine. Love your guys content. Watch just to see some Wyomingites working in our great state. Thanks for the great content. (Even like the Florida content) :)
hello Guys, tks for the vid, Do you think that those hammer will perform well for stake around 2 inches BUT at an angle of about 30 degrees ( tent stake)
Nice post driver race . Where did y'all get those goggles they look cool , those might keep the Florida sand out of my eyes when mowing with a ZTR . thanks for sharing .
I think here in my black gumbo they could all drive the whole post to the surface. The pulling out was impressive. Hurricane Beryl knocked down a lot of fence here in the Dickinson, Tx area.
question.... I'll be flying out to NC to reinstall hurricane damaged 6' cedar fencing(HOA says wood). The soil is sand from what I know. What do you recommend for posts? I don't want to embed them with concrete(unless you say other wise) so I plan on U channel or round pipe and rent/buy a driver. Thanks in advance.
I'd go with Postmasters all the way. If your soil's conducive I'd drive but you can concrete if you have to. _How Deep Do No Dig Fence Posts Have To Be?_ th-cam.com/video/mc92svvCRFo/w-d-xo.html _Testing The Absolute Strongest Fence Post Against Hurricane Winds_ th-cam.com/video/Ocr73Lmo9O8/w-d-xo.html
That is unfortunate! I know we're dealing with some supplier issues. I'd encourage you to call the shop and get an estimate on availability. (307) 578-8040
Have you tested the man saver post driver? I’m sure it’s probably a little slower but fatigue factor vs speed? I will be pipe fencing 23 acres and cross fencing multiple pastures and will be purchasing a post driver soon
Depends upon what/where you are doing it at. A farm field, concrete is usually cost prohibitive. Also, concrete may speed up rust when used on a metal post, by wicking moisture and never drying out; that’s why pouring them deep is so much better.
Looking forward to seeing that golf balls vs. vinyl video you seem to be hinting at with the clubs in the background. I have see a lot of swiss cheese vinyl on the the course in FL.
Fellers… it’s nice that y’all found something that you could concur on. And that’s a good thing. Me and my two brothers have very few things that we ever concur on. Not on… -The weather. -Whose country bbq baby back ribs are best. -Which is cuter? A baby calf or baby pig. -Night crawlers or Red Wigglers for catching catfish. -Who filled a bra better? Linda Carter, Loni Anderson or Markie Post You know… the important things a man should take a stand on. But… we did have a bonding moment this spring. They came down on a Saturday… I was staking up my ‘maters. They were sitting on the glider in the shade, sipping tea and advising me on how much better they could drive in those T-post ‘mater stakes. Until I pulled out my post driver… The 3” diameter well pipe, with its 1” solid steel plug and bent 1/2” rebar handles weren’t what shut them up. Nor did the high visibility fluorescent orange paint job squelch their bragging. Instead… the red plastic-dipped handles had them in awe. You see, when you add the No-slip of plasti-dip with the naturally grippy surface of 1/2” rebar… you end up with handles that’ll strip the callouses off a lumberjacks palms. Once I dropped it over the top of the first stake their eyes widened and their mute mouths opened. And, I knew instantly the there was one thing we could all concur on… Big Brother Dave had taken post driving up to a whole nuther level! Now fellers, iffen y’all wanna put those Plain Jane Honda’s against a homemade, Ozark, callous stripping, post poker… Just let me know and I’ll lend you mine. And, who knows? Maybe you three will concur with the three of us… all post drivers aren’t created equal!

Your experiment is flawed because you are each assisting the hammers by pulling them down at an unknown pull down force that is not equal . Need to do it again allowing the tools to do all the work without any human assistance . None of them should need extra human pull down if they are any good .
All of the engineering that went into those, and you still have to pull down with your hands!? 👎👎👎Did they forget that we have weight and we could stand on something to drive this thing into the ground without having to pull down on it!?

I can't imagine it would help that much. And you do want that dirt going up inside of the pipe.

Whats a good hammer for T pools. Bob wire fence.
Will you compare one of the Aliexpress drivers that us mere peasants can afford? They have some 52cc ones for $250.

What is your suggestion for 3 1/2 galvanized pipe. I need to go 42 inches. From Canada toronto

I too concur.
I knew you would.

I've never used a Man Saver so I can't really comment on them.
Mansaver works pretty well, just gotta waste time tripping over air compressor hose
Is it better to drive a post or set it in concrete after using a post hole auger?
Depends upon what/where you are doing it at. A farm field, concrete is usually cost prohibitive. Also, concrete may speed up rust when used on a metal post, by wicking moisture and never drying out; that’s why pouring them deep is so much better.
Video links?
Good videos, funny guys, I'm learning a lot from you all.
Links are always in the video description. ☝🏻 I'll add for you here as well. 👍🏻 bit.ly/swidrivers
2:59. And this is how you invite my lame comments, Mark. 😆🤭
Gotta Try the Skidril stuff my crews used to use the rhinos and we switched everything to the two-stroke Skidrill G2XD
Can you drive both 2 3/8 round and postmaster with this skidril model?
@@treeamigo8447 Yes you can, we offer over a dozen drive caps for different types of post.

Hey you're sharp! We filmed it and it'll be coming out sometime soon. 👍🏻
U guys are awesome!
Also, what are those goggles?
I loved the goggles

Great job man!!!!
What about the man saver pneumatic post driver
Good video but one question- it's a real cloudy day and you're all wearing sunglasses on top of your hats. Purpose? Or are you fashion setters?
We just tend not to go outside without them. Then if you don't need them they just end up on top of your hat...

Your experiment is flawed because you are each assisting the hammers by pulling them down at an unknown pull down force that is not equal . Need to do it again allowing the tools to do all the work without any human assistance .
None of them should need extra human pull down if they are any good .
Are there specs on these tools for joules/strike and strikes/minute? That's how demolition hammers are scientifically rated.
No, afraid not.
All of the engineering that went into those, and you still have to pull down with your hands!? 👎👎👎Did they forget that we have weight and we could stand on something to drive this thing into the ground without having to pull down on it!?
Made in Calif???? wait til 2024 when Newsom makes gas equipment is illegal. Sucks living here!
Seems like a foreign country to me.
