What type of post are you going to drive?
The Propane Hammer can drive up to a 4 lb/ft Sign Post and other large posts with an
adapter. The stock Propane Hammer is set up to drive posts up to 1 5/8" diameter. You can quickly enlarge the opening to accommodate up to 2 5/8" by removing the
Ram Insert.
The illustration below describes the opening of the Propane Hammer. |

If the outside diameter of your post, stake, rod etc. is larger than 2 5/8", you will need an adapter. We offer the following adapters (shown in the chart below), and can also custom create an adapter to meet your special requirements. We use the chart below as a basic guideline in determining if you will need an adapter or not. If you need an adapter, which is not listed on our site,
please use the
PDF form at the bottom of this page. |
