Patent Pending Post Pounder FENCING Tools 29-6-42 My patent pending post pounder is designed to pound in posts with signs attached, such as snowmobile trail signs or fence insulators. It consists of two parts. The bottom part is stationary and has a length of hollow tubing as well as a 2 1/2 by 1 3/4-in. metal "platform" that sits on top of the post. The top part has a 16-in. long handle with a rubber grip, attached to a 14-in. length of sq. tubing that slides down inside the hollow tubing.
You use your left hand to hold the post and use your right hand to slide the hammer up and down. As you lower the handle, it brings a round steel bar down to hit the platform.

A shoulder strap makes the unit easier to carry on a 4-wheeler. (Virgil Johnson, 218 South Falls, River Falls, Wis. 54022 (ph 715 425-8473; Johnson_virgil@sbcglobal.net; www.trailpostdriver.com)
