Along with the wide range of attachments available, it is 100 percent Australian designed, made and owned.
The Picket Post Driver has been selling in Australia since 1977 and in the USA for the past 11 years.
It has received exposure through the National Geographic television series 'Showdown of the Unbeatables', and the Russell Crowe narrated Discovery Atlas series 'Australia Revealed'.
"The Picket Post Driver has been incredibly successful with farmers, fencing contractors and ranchers," a company spokesman said.
"After 11 years of showing in California at the World AG Show, a new direction was needed, so the Picket Post Driver was introduced to the Department of Transport in Texas, Oklahoma, Southern California, New Orleans, Tennessee and Georgia.
"Road sign repair crews witnessed the driver's power and versatility and were amazed with the ease the driver could drive in oil pipe through road base and the puller could remove the pipe intact, cement still attached.
"In the past few years we have expanded the capability of the Picket Post Driver by creating the adaption to convert it into a Jackhammer.
"This turns the Picket Post Driver into a multi-function tool, enabling it outperform petrol drivers sold both in Australia and the USA.
"We have evolved in not only the way posts are put in the ground, but their removal as well, expanding our universal puller range to include a Post Grab which utilises the nip roller arrangement to grab any post with an edge.
"But instead of using your body weight to extract the post, it is attached to a tractor or crane and lifted out mechanically, still preserving the post from significate damage so that it can be used again."
