FAQs

What is the maximum post diameter this rammer can handle?

The Faithfull Post Rammer is designed for posts up to 150mm (6 inches) in diameter.

Do I need to pre-dig a hole for the post?

In softer soil, you may not need to. However, in harder or compacted ground, pre-digging a shallow pilot hole can make the process much easier and more effective.

How do I ensure the post is driven straight?

Keep the post vertical by eye as you start ramming. Ensure the rammer is centered on the post's top to guide it straight. You may need a spirit level to check periodically.

Is this tool suitable for all types of soil?

It is most effective in soil that is not excessively hard, rocky, or waterlogged. It may struggle in very dense clay or stony ground.

How do I maintain the post rammer?

Clean it after each use to remove dirt and debris. Store it in a dry place and apply a light oil to the inside of the tube to prevent rust. Check handle security periodically.

Can this tool be used for anything other than fence posts?

While primarily designed for fence posts, it could potentially be used to drive other similar-sized stakes or posts into the ground, provided they have a suitable top to accept the rammer's impact.

Troubleshooting

Post not driving into the ground

Check if the ground is too hard or rocky. If so, consider digging a pilot hole first. Ensure the post is not wider than 150mm and fits correctly within the rammer.

Rammer feels unstable on the post

Ensure the post is vertical and stable before ramming. Check that the diameter of the post is appropriate for the rammer's tube.

Handles feel loose

Inspect the handles for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten any bolts or fixings securing the handles to the rammer body. If damaged, consider replacement.

Difficulty lifting or maneuvering the rammer

Ensure you are using a balanced lifting technique with both handles. Take breaks if needed, especially in harder ground conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust construction ensures long-term use.
  • Easy to operate with a simple mechanism.
  • Reinforced handles provide a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Effective for driving standard-sized fence posts.
  • No external power source required, offering portability.

Cons

  • May struggle in very hard or rocky soil.
  • Limited to posts up to 150mm in diameter.
  • Requires physical strength and effort to operate effectively.
  • Not suitable for driving very large or heavy posts.
  • Can potentially damage the top of the post if not used carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Faithfull Post Rammer requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use out of the box. Ensure the handles are securely attached and the tubular body is free from obstructions.

Compatibility: This tool is designed for fence posts with a diameter of up to 150mm (6 inches). It is most effective with wooden posts. Ensure the post fits comfortably within the rammer's tube without excessive looseness or binding.

Care: After each use, clean the inside and outside of the rammer tube with a damp cloth to remove soil and debris. Periodically check the handles for any signs of damage or loosening and tighten if necessary. Store in a dry location to prevent rust. Applying a light coating of oil to the inside of the tube can help prevent corrosion.
