FAQs
What size post spikes is this driving tool compatible with?
This driving tool is specifically designed for 50x50mm post spikes.
Can I use this tool to drive fence posts directly into the ground?
No, this tool is designed exclusively for driving post spikes into the ground. It is not intended for driving fence posts themselves.
What is the tool made of?
The tool is made from hardened plastic.
How does this tool protect the post spike?
It acts as a buffer and guide, absorbing the impact of the hammer and ensuring force is applied evenly to the top of the spike, preventing deformation or damage to its 'shoe'.
Do I need any other tools besides a hammer?

What should I do if the tool cracks?
If the tool develops cracks, it should be replaced. Continued use of a damaged tool could compromise its protective function and potentially lead to injury or damage to the post spike.
Troubleshooting
Tool doesn't fit the post spike.
Ensure you are using a 50x50mm post spike, as this tool is specifically designed for that size.
Post spike is still getting damaged.
Ensure the driving tool is seated correctly on the spike and that you are striking the center of the driving tool with your hammer. Check for any debris inside the tool that might prevent a flush fit.

Make sure the post spike is placed upright and the tool is centered on it before hammering. Avoid tilting the tool or hammer.
