Not trying to hijack the thread but I wear my hardhat/earplugs when using a manual "T" post driver. Two years ago I was driving posts, lifted the driver up too far, hooked it on the top of the post and when I brought it back down the weighted end just smacked right into my head. 23 stitches later my wife is telling me sure is a good thing that I have a hard head.

Good point; not a hijack at all (after all, this is the general "Safety" category). Yuh, those post drivers are LOUD! And I have had slip-ups with mine, although nothing as dramatic as yours. Shows to go you, you never know when a steel-toe, a hard hat, a glove or what-not will do its job.
