Can I also use this tool to pull rebar stakes? My stakes are 24 to 36 inches long, and I can get them with a welded nail head if required.

I was trying to pull some u post with rope using the hook but the rope kept stretching. I think if you can make an attachment point on the rebar and use chain it might work.

I have pulled grounding rods using the puller and a chain with a hook on the end. I'm not sure what your circumstances are though so I'm not sure if that will work for you or not.

I never tried it on rebar. It may be too long to pull the 24" and may not work for 36 inches. The support post used for leverage is already 36" long. I don't know if you can wrap a chain around the rebar and connect the chain to the hook somehow. I probably would not recommend it for this application.

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

The tool is ~ 1/4 wide. You could pull the tie at an angle but there would be limits. The length is not a problem, pull it tight by hand an then use the tool.

The backside of the axe is the same as the rest of the blade. Only about 3/16 of an inch. With a little practice its enough to get the job done. I used it to drive in stakes that are only about 1/2 an inch wide and was able to do so fairly easily.

I suppose you could do it with a chain, but this tool is really for metal T posts. It does have a chain hook on it, but it would take an awful lot of muscle power to pull an 8' ground stake. I just don't know if it would work.

I think my ladder is 36 foot extention. This works well with this aluminum ladder. The only thing I would tell you is that it makes the ladder heavier because it is heavy metal compared to the ladder. It is best and safest solution for my property, better than using bricks or wood to prop up.

I am doing the exact same thing to make poles for deck railing. How did this work out? A vice would be necessary. Did you get one ? if so what one would a person suggest ? I am drilling 75 poles. with a total of 2 1/2" holes and 11 1/8th" holes. Would this do the job ?

You probably want something with a larger surface area than a regular metal hammer. We use the butt end of a small axe or a rubber mallet. The metal-to-metal contact doesn't mess up the stakes, but with a regular hammer I'd be more worried about messing up your hand.

This tool will work but you will need a ladder for that high a bush. The weight of the tool holding it high is hard for me, and had to tackle me hedge in short working times. The height of my hedge had to be done from a ladder but was done by someone stronger than myself. I wished this tool could break down to a standard hedge trimmer size also so I would have two hedge trimmers in one.

The Ridgid website states that you can go up to 30 feet with extensions. This has been a pretty handy tool for plumbing and HVAC jobs as well as one job where I just needed to guide a bolt into a cramped space.

This chainsaw can handle bars up to 24" in length. I have a 24" bar on mine and it handles perfectly.

If it's solid rock, I would rent a hammer chisel. I had to rent a battery hammer to remove some solid rock and it worked hard, but got the job done. If the rock is loose and fairly small (less than 8" diam) this bar will do the trick.

10D no problem...12D.. depends on what kind of wood.. Joining 2 2x4's no problem.. WILL NOT drive sinker nails.. overall great tool , easy to use, small size important to me as i have a very small hand,

The nail gun would work, but the brads wouldn't be strong enough. Fences can take quite a battering and be subjected to large forces (wind, earthquake, people etc). I wouldn't use 18 guage brads for this. In fact I wouldn't use finishing nails either - framing nails would be the better option and they should be galvanised or stainless.

We got longer stakes & they worked great. The sandbags would likely work as well.

I bought 18 20" rebar stakes.. and 8 ratchet straps. But the screw in stakes would be best.

Probably can't build a fence. The max length nail is 2 inches. 18 gauge brads are too small to make a fence. Unless that fence is for action figures.
