Hi Mike(s),
'Round these parts, the proper name for that device is "T-post
Driver". Its the thing that makes barbed wire fencing feasible
in a lot of cases. I'm sorry. In my earlier post I sort of
assumed that everyone knew what a T-post driver was... Its a
device to guarantee that both arms are equally sore. Not just
the one...
