Gas Powered Post Drivers Make a Difference

Installation of fence posts is easier, thanks to the gaspowered post drivers, available at REDI Driver. A secondgeneration fence company, they have been in the fencing industry for over 30 years. “We have the accessories to help make driving things into the ground much easier,” says Lorri Evans, president of REDI Driver.

“REDI Driver has revolutionized the way we install temporary fence,” explains Dan Voci, corporate purchasing with American Fence Company. “The ability to access all areas of a jobsite where we couldn’t access in the past with a pneumatic hose. It makes for a more secure jobsite, not to mention saving us time and money. It makes a difference even in the rockiest ground on the toughest terrain. Gas powered is the way to go!”

The team at REDI Driver has built many fences the traditional way, using a tow-behind compressor and a pneumatic driver, with many starts and stops throughout the job, all the while raveling and unraveling air hoses. When they heard about the hose-free, hassle-free gas-powered post driver, they quickly looked into it, finding it to be lightweight and self-contained, and able to work with a variety of fencing posts and fence types.

“You can easily drive all sizes of Master Halco postmaster posts with our system,” says Evans. “The adapter is exclusive to REDI Driver and approved in the field by Master Halco. With the addition of our handle extensions, you can drive and grade posts from the ground.”

KEEP POINTS & BLADES ON-HAND

Some projects require fencers to dig through multiple soil types. In these types of situations, or when fencing contractors want to move between projects more easily, it’s sometimes easier to keep both the standard and carbide points and blades on hand. In situations where the soil changes mid-project, switching to a more appropriate point and blade helps prolong the work life of both the blade and auger.

The key to choosing the best points and blades for a specific auger is to double check these parts are the right type and size. The width of a point or blade is based on the size of the auger it’s attached to. For example, a 4-inch blade won’t fit on a 10-inch diameter auger, and vice versa. Choosing the right points and blades for each fencing project doesn’t just rely on knowing the soil conditions, but knowing the type of auger that will be used, as well.

“As you can see, points and blades aren’t just another piece of equipment to cross off the checklist,” says Haynes. “It’s important to make the right choice based on the soil in your work area and the goals of your project. To make sure fencing projects succeed, work with an earth drill manufacturer to choose the best points and blades for any soil type.”
