Man Saver Air-Powered Post Driver
Fred Balmer, Folsom, N. Mex.: Fred likes his Man Saver air-powered post driver (Rohrer Mfg. Inc., or www.rohrermfg.com). It runs off any small air compressor that can deliver at least 2.2 cubic feet of air at 70 to 90 psi. It makes 80 to 85 strokes per minute. The basic T-post driver weighs 26 lbs. and sells for $450 plus S&H. It can be fitted with interchangeable sleeves that allow it to drive almost any post on the market. "I hook it up to a 70-lb. gas-powered compressor and use it to drive steel posts in rough, rocky ground. We've built fences on terrain so rough that it's difficult to walk. I've driven in more than 2,000 steel posts without any problems."
