Just removed ten posts in a day, came out of the concrete like piece of cheese. Really does work. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you! Tried this & it worked first time. Probably took me 10minutes. Genius!

Thank you. You saved me a nightmare

Did it work quite well? The post in my concrete is very imbedded into the concrete. It’s worse than a nightmare! 😭

Not if the posts are in the ground 42" like in Ontario, Can.

Geoff, are the screws, Coach screws? Can only find M6 whereas aren’t the holes in the plate 5.5 mm diameter? Did you drill the holes out a bit in the plate? Any advice will be most welcome. Thanks

Your right, I’ve just checked the package, they are M6 150mm, they fit perfectly in the eye plate I used. www.toolstation.com/coach-screw/p69653

@@geofusthanks I tried it out with an Oak post that had rotted. I used a heavy 6ft breaker to pivot and eventually pulled the twisted screws out of the post. Any further suggestions?

@@AlexEllis in that case you need to hire a concrete breaker to break away the concrete away from the remainder of the post, it may be stuck solid. Then use longer screws, sounds a tough one.

Hi do you have a link for the screws/bolts? they appear to have a hexagon head. I can’t seem to find something similar at toolstation. Thanks

Great, many thanks. I’ve burnt out a couple of electric drills in the past trying to remove the rotten stumps of posts!

How does it come out do easily if it’s been set in concrete ? Wouldn’t it be stuck to a concrete block?
@geofus 4 ай бұрын
If it’s tight just tap it around the sides with a lump hammer, it really is that easy.

What concrete do you use to secure the new post? Postcrete?
@geofus Жыл бұрын
Yes I do normally, but if its a big job then I would use fast setting cement and mix my own concrete.
@user-dx7oz6oo6y Жыл бұрын
@@geofus could I mix some up wet in the existing concrete hole and push the post into it?
@geofus Жыл бұрын
Yes, just make sure you clean the hole first with clean water.
