Ive never used one but you are not going to believe this. I am pretty sure that my neighbor (Mathew Baldwin) holds the patent on that thing. He is a very handy guy to have as a neighbor. if there is an issue with using it and i can get any information from him I will be glad to ask him. Wish you luck!I got a new tool that I'm hoping will help with my chain link fence work this summer. It's called a MANSAVER.
This MANSAVER is a pneumatic post driver that's painted bright pumpkin orange. Looks like any other post driver, only you hook up an air hose to the side of this one. I'm planning to drive my fence posts 3' into the ground instead of digging post holes.
I tried using it to drive the posts in my recently renovated raised bed, but the square posts didn't fit in the round hole.
Anyway, this pneumatic driver that's supposed to save the effort of hammering each post weighs 36 pounds, and is about 3' long. I'm imagining myself (5'5") holding an 8' tall post with a 3' 36lb machine on top of it, and trying to drive it into the ground straight.
I think my neighbors will enjoy watching me do this. Maybe as much as the time I was home alone, on the roof, and my ladder slid away from the side of the house, or the time I was bouncing on of the end of a branch a few feet off the ground to try to get the wood to break....or the time....(you get the idea.)
Has anybody used a MANSAVER that can give me some tips using this tool?
