Pipe Wrench Steadies Smaller Fence Posts
Rudolph Lehmann uses a big 36-in. long pipe wrench to steady small wooden fence posts as he hammers staples into them. He just clamps the pipe wrench onto the top of the post and lets it hang there until he’s done driving in the staple.
  “I use this idea whenever I’m fixing fence. It’s more difficult to drive a staple into a bouncing post, and the staple bends more. The weight of the pipe wrench makes the post a little more solid and keeps it from bouncing back as much as I hammer staples into it,” says the Rocky Mountain House, Alta., cow calf operator. “The posts I use are 3 to 4 in. in diameter. If you have bigger posts you might not need the extra support.”
