A group of voluteers I work with have a post bashing hammer/maul (a sledgehammer with a big wide face) for banging in posts (usually 3"*3").
To use this well, and safely, takes quite a lot of strength and skill. We're wondering about getting a post rammer (a weighted closed end tube with handles) as a safer alternative.
Just curious as to how effective they are compared to a maul.
