Post repair kit and method of reparation

A post repair kit, the kit comprising:

• a stake defined by a body, proximal end, and a tapered anchor end, the body of the stake forming at least one fastener hole;
• a hammer mechanism comprising a power portion and a reciprocating ram, the reciprocating ram being defined by a ram distal end and a ram proximal end, the ram proximal end being joined to the power portion, the power portion forcibly driving the reciprocating ram in a reciprocating motion;
• an interchangeable end adapter tool detachably attachable to the ram distal end;
• wherein the stake has a centrally located ram acceptor;
• wherein a ram acceptor extends away from a post in a z-direction;
• wherein a top end of the ram acceptor includes a ram aperture;
• wherein the ram aperture opens vertically at a top of the ram acceptor;
• wherein the ram aperture is surrounded by a ram acceptor rim;
• wherein the ram acceptor rim is generally horizontally oriented and configured to mate with a flange tipped ram;
• wherein the flange tipped ram has an end portion including a ram tip extension and a ram flange;
• wherein a ram tip is configured to enter the ram acceptor and the ram acceptor rim is configured to contact the ram flange in order to prevent the flange tipped ram from extending further into the ram acceptor.

A method for repairing a post, the method comprising:

• aligning a stake parallel and adjacent to the post, the stake defined by a body, proximal end, and a tapered anchor end, the body of the stake forming at least one fastener hole;
• coupling a hammer mechanism to the proximal end of the stake through a reciprocating ram and a slotted open-sided end adapter tool, wherein the stake has a width greater than the width of the slotted open-sided end adapter tool;
• driving, with the hammer mechanism, the stake into a ground surface;
• aligning at least one fastener with the at least one fastener hole in the stake;
• driving, with a fastening mechanism, the at least one fastener through the at least one fastener hole.
