I’ve spent 30+ years in the fencing industry and always wanted an easier way to drive posts. Now there’s no more setting up the compressor, unwinding the hose, pounding a post or two, then moving the compressor, untangling the hose, pounding a post or two, and so on and so on and so on.

A fence post driver that doesn’t need a hose or a compressor. With all the advancements today, I can’t believe someone didn’t come up with this before. Why didn’t someone come up with this before? It won’t drive through a solid rock, but it makes driving T-posts amazingly easier!! Now my guys fight over being the post-driver man of the day. We found the golden tool: the RediDriver! It’ll drive through caliche and hard ground. I researched for months to find a tool that would make driving posts easier and faster. The Texas Hill Country is gorgeous, but the ground is really rocky. These units are truly remarkable, designed and constructed to perform and last in the harshest of environments and with the biggest work loads. The first driver we purchased has now driven in over 7500 star pickets with 90% of those pickets being erected in hard rocky grounds. They have been a major asset in keeping laborious post driving obsolete and keeping the meters going up in some of the most difficult terrain and work conditions….No complaints from our fencing teams and no down time on the drivers.

We own 6 of the Christie Engineering petrol post drivers (known as the RediDriver in the USA). To check out how fast it works, click here. The first video had some swearing in it because we were so amazed at how the RediDriver worked (as in, “This thing is awesome!”).
We’ve included our second video as a testimonial here. It seems the employees enjoy using it, too. The Redi Driver has really made the job of driving ground rods much easier and simpler. I knew I could, I knew I could….” We had time to build 1000 feet, then stretch another 1300′ to prep for the next day. This driver’s like “The Little Engine That Could.” “I think I can, I think I can…. We do sell a tuff box with custom insert for securing your REDI Driver & accessories.It’s hard to admit, being strictly old school the Redi Driver does its job well! We drove 177 posts from 10:30-1:30 with a 1/2 hour lunch, a minute a piece with laying them out. This will show up as internal damage to the engine’s aluminum housing. Transporting on the brush guard side may cause engine damage when bumps or rough roads are encountered from transfer of impact up to engine. This type of damage will not be covered under warranty.Īlways transport/ secure your driver on the flat crank case side.
If you continually operate the driver in dry fire, your guide tube will be driven out of the classic model or your bottom bolts will shear off on the boss model. It takes a good whack do it as if you are hand driving! Learn to recognize the sound and performance of a dry fire state, correct it as soon as you notice it! You will then need to slam the driver firmly down on a post to reengage the bottom hammer. Avoid trigger pressure whilst loading & unloading… this will cause the hammer to disengage from the dampening system, and you will notice about a 50% reduction in driving power. Never trigger the throttle unless the driver is completely loaded and ready to hammer a post. The weight of the machine alone is not sufficient to prevent dry fire! IN OTHER WORDS KEEP THE DRIVER TIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE POST! Do not allow the guide tube to come into contact with the ground. Also, allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes before you begin driving.Īlways maintain a good steady amount of equal down pressure on each handle while driving a post & Keep the driver level on the post.
When you operate your machine in cold weather please be aware that the machine should have a warm up period put your driver in a warm place prior to use for the internal grease to warm up so it can migrate freely throughout the machine. When you operate your machine in excessively hot weather, the unit will heat up and care should be taken to always wear gloves and not allow the cast body of the driver to come into contact with your body. Use ONLY EP 0 grease, any other type will inhibit or damage your driver. There will be a small bottle of the EP0 grease in your box, this should last the normal user 6 months to a year the driver uses very little grease since our piston is a highly engineered material designed for self-lubrication. Your driver will arrive with grease in the crank you will not need to check this for 2 or 3 months. Your driver will arrive with the engine oil filled, do not add any more! When you do check the oil level, always have the driver in an upright position (do not lay it down) or you will get a false reading and overfill, which will damage your engine.
