True homie right there.

I actually just tried out for their cheer team and made it! Go Wildcats!

Go to be easier just to get a jackhammer and break it up?

Worked like a charm! The video shows the cement somewhat mushroomed at the top but this doesn’t matter. The lifting strap should be very strong. I used a 3000lb rated strap. However, the wrap around strap I used was only 350lbs wrapped 3 time around. If you live in Canada where the posts should be 36+ inches deep, use a car scissor jack to lever the 4x4. Also soil type, like clay will require a jack.

First you have a tool. It's called a shovel. Then you made another crude tool out of wood and bricks. You can't remove fence posts without tools.

Now remove it from the hole now that it is loose!! Ill wait!

A shovel is not a tool?

Ingenious method. Gonna give this a shot on some old deck post that have broken at ground level.

Just did this very thing, after watching this very video this morning. Thanks!!

How long is the 4x4?

My Father in Law shared this video with me after spending hours digging out a 6 foot deep 12" wide concrete base for a 4" by 4" fence post that snapped at the base during a storm. This method saved hours off the second of two posts that were snapped off. Can't Thank you enough, as this method was extremely effective even through clay. My Son (who helped) and I will strive to share similar tips moving forward in hopes that it helps folks work quicker and safely..... Great Share! Thank You.

Tools used in no-tool video: Shovel, Ratchet straps, 4x4 as a lever. Pedantics aside, nice job.

Great, i have a bunch of straps in my garage. Well, now I know how I am going to pull 2 concrete posts from a customer.

Stupid idea putting wood in the ground in the first place. Typical design to keep you buying more!

👍👍👍👍 Impressive !

Damn.... this is my only option at this point. Still requires a bit of digging but atleast i dont have to dig too much

Tho my man you just saved me hours of digging. THIS IS THE BEST METHOD! IT REALLY WORKS! My fence posts were rotted to shit and broke off with only an inch or so poking from the cement. This works great. Thanks for posing this video.

Nice video sir. I usually just dig around the plug enough to hook a chain around and use a floor jack to lift it out but, your method is great if a guy does not have many tools. Leverage is your friend!

Well that looks so easy I just might be able to do it. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

Y'all did great

Great they should teach Leverage advantage in schools

No tools....except a strap...a tool...and 4x4 fulcrum...a tool...

Knowledge is power ! Thank you this worked like a charm !!! When in doubt check you tube you can learn so much.

No tool? How did you dig that huge hole around the concrete?

shovel ,lifting straps, and a jack to save your back and a wheel barrow to haul it away.?????????

This was removed with budget tools. i.e. a piece of wood, and straps. They are still considered tools, because you using them to get the job done. No tools would be equivalent to waving your hand over it and saying abracadabra!

cringe

😂the tool used a tool😂

Best method by far been using since i saw this video years ago

Cool

I love it, you saved my butt! I will say that technically you used a lever, one of the oldest complex tools.

I live here in South Texas and this method works with a farm jack and a whole lot of water

hmmm I'll have to try this. Here's how I usually do it ruclips.net/video/knNyOz0ZthQ/видео.html

we used this system and we thank you so much. just make sure you pull up dont pull sideway

This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you for making it.

You sir, are a real super hero!

Greatness 💯

Thank you!

Not to be critical, but a shovel and ratchet straps are both tools. Good vid though.. maybe a title change is in order. Maybe "How to remove rotted broken fence post without Many tool." I use a couple of floor jacks and steel pole & piece of 5/16 chain to pull them out. There is no digging involved.

Thanks, I used this technique today!

Good idea but looks like there is only 1 60# concrete bag on that hole..may is well not to put any concrete... To be solid take at least 3 60# bags!

Thank you very much Sir.

Nice video... I've been putting of a post replacement job just because rotten post are a PIA!

Helpful, thanks!

You do need tools, a shovel, straps and wood, 4x4s!

Great place to learn how to make it yourself much much cheaper. Just google for 'woodprix' website:)

Any thing other than your hands constitutes tool use. They call me The Fence Doctor and there is no way you would be able to pull one of my footings out with out using a machine that has a vertical lift in excess of 1500 lbs. My footings are inverted conical shape 12 to 14" diameter on the bottom of a 28" deep hole that is about 10" in diameter at the top. The bottom of the hole is relatively flat and the post is suspended by placing about 2" of concrete under the post so that the post is not touching dirt in the bottom of the hole or at the top where it is finished with a sloping 'doughnut' of concrete about 1 - 1/2" above ground. If the post touches dirt at the bottom of the hole the wood becomes a wick and wet, dry, wet, dry, wet dry rot. Dry rot is a living organism and once it starts it is impossible to stop. This happens even if the post has dirt and water touching the wood at the bottom of the hole or at the surface hence the doughnut at the surface to keep the post from touching ground and the bottom of the panel as well. At the surface, this allows rain to wash any dirt away from the wood. Suspending the post in concrete will make the post last three to four times longer than not. A suspended treated post should last for 25 to 30 years or more. If the post is touching dirt and wicking and if cedar, it will last maybe 8 to 12 tears depending on whether it is old or second growth and how much combination of the cycle of wet and dry conditions exists. Old growth is becoming rare but has tighter and more grains per inch so resists wicking more than secondary growth. Also becoming too expensive. Treated full end size 4 - 1/8" square hem/fir posts are stronger and will last longer. Creosote is a no no here. Painting the post with epoxy below and above ground will make the post water proof and it will last way longer. $25 to built it and $75 to fix it. Cheers.

Do you need my Chiropractor’s number ? Use a jack .

He meant to say no Jack needed guys. 2x4 can be both used as a tool or build material. As a tool it is used as force amplification achieved mechanical advantage. The model for this is the law of the lever. But the fulcrum is best in between forces so your pushing down.

Good job!
