Hated T-posts for 5 years. One job in Oklahoma changed my mind.

I always used wood posts. Refused to touch T-posts. Called them cheap junk. Last month I had to fence 400 feet of rocky hillside outside Tulsa. Guy I was helping pulled out a box of T-posts and a driver. We finished that whole stretch in 4 hours. Wood would have taken two days and 3 broken auger bits. Still not my first choice for a front yard. But for rough ground they flat out work. Anyone else come around on a tool they swore they hated?

Pfft, they're still ugly as sin but I guess rough ground changes things.

You pulled out a driver and did 400 feet in 4 hours? On rocky Oklahoma ground? I don't believe you. That's like saying you used a butter knife to cut through a steel cable. I've seen T-posts bounce off rocks worse than a basketball on concrete. What kind of driver were you using?
