The video introduces the power post driver, an air tool capable of driving T posts and oil pipes into various terrains, including underwater. It highlights the tool's power, equivalent to a 90-pound jackhammer, and its ability to operate in tough conditions. The mechanics involve a gas-powered air compressor that drives a piston and striking hammer at 1200 blows per minute. A demonstration shows the tool's efficiency in hard ground, and a test compares its use by an experienced contractor and a novice, showcasing its ease of use and effectiveness.
