Looks safer than the red neck car method.
Now that is clever!
Entered thread expecting idiocy and some element of personal injury. Left disappointed but impressed.

No concrete though? That might prove a bit harder as the jack would have to be further away (due to the concrete bulb) and might not get the same leverage.
Good observation! Most fences here only have poles in concrete at the beginning and the end of the fence, all 'in-betweens' are like the ones shown.Originally Posted by vagabond
I sunk all mine in with concrete so that may not be as effective in my garden without a little bit of digging but still saves breaking your back.
I’ve just forwarded this to my landscape gardener friend.
I've been avoiding tackling a broken wooden post for about a year, still don't know where to start, think I'll end up digging a big hole.
'Necessity is the mother of invention'......clever.
I always soak the portion of the post that will be in the ground in waste engine oil for a few days before inserting. No idea if it really works, but in my head it does.

Trolling, I hope.
I don't think it would work for me. When I set any post, I use a post foot and concrete it in.
Just removed a gate post. Large deep hole filled with concrete.
Nearly killed me

This took 6 men the old fashion way! An old washing line pole!!
