Guys, I'm fifty years old and only now just learned this technique for pulling T-posts out of the ground. This is clearly a failure of the educational system at all levels. I honestly feel a little betrayed by the whole of society that this exists and nobody told me about it. You all just let me sweat and grunt and wiggle posts back and forth for hours like a chump. I've pulled almost as many muscles as posts trying to extract them the hard way, when I could have been yoinking them out of the ground with almost no effort this whole time. Anybody who knows this trick should feel obligated to teach it to at least five other people.

The video isn't playing for me. Is it vise grips and a lever?

No, you use the post pounder as a fulcrum. Lean it against the post, snagged under a tooth, then pull the top of the post toward the pounder. That forces the post upward. Repeat as needed on subsequent teeth to ratchet the post up out of the ground.

Here's another video showing the same thing:

Nice. I was thinking of pulling out rebar from the ground. Similar concept. All about the leverage.

Thanks for sharing!
