Just dropped $350 on a post driver and it's already saved my back

I was doing a long cedar fence in Boise last week and decided to rent a gas powered post driver instead of using my manual pounder. It cost about $350 for the week, which hurt at first. But we got all 42 posts set in a single morning with zero shoulder pain. Has anyone else made the switch and found it worth the cash for bigger jobs?

Honestly, that's a bargain compared to a chiropractor visit. My back is jealous.

Bargain compared to a chiropractor? That's a wild way to look at it. You're basically saying a cheap fix is better than actual medical help. Chiropractors go to school for years to learn about spines, not just crack backs. My cousin saw one for a real issue and it changed his life, way more than some random gadget ever could. Why trust a thingamajig over a trained person with your health?

I mean, you're not wrong about chiropractors knowing their stuff... but @ivan211 might be onto something with the bargain angle. My wallet definitely wouldn't survive six months of adjustments before I'd be couch shopping for back support instead of gadgets.
