Abstract
The fence post extraction tool is a tool used to extract a wooden fence post from the ground using only vertical movement. The wooden fence post extraction tool includes a threaded rod that screws into an expanding piercing tip. The expanding piercing tip is driven into a pre-drilled hole located on a top surface of the wooden fence post. The piercing tip is driven into the hole via a hammer sleeve that is slideable engaged about the threaded rod. The threaded rod is attached to an attachment clip located at a distal end from the piercing tip. The attachment clip secures to a lifting means suspended under a tripod, and which lifts the wooden fence post vertically from the ground.

The fence post extraction tool comprising:
- a threaded rod threadably engaged to a piercing tip that is hammered into a pre-drilled hole located on a top surface of a wooden fence post to be extracted upwardly along a vertical axis;
- wherein an attachment clip is secured between the threaded rod and a lifting means that is suspended under a tripod;
- wherein the threaded rod is of a length and has a bottom distal end as well as top distal end;
- wherein the bottom distal end includes a shoulder from which are bottom external threading;
- wherein the top distal end includes top external threadings for use with a threaded nut;
- wherein a hammer sleeve is included with the threaded rod and is slideably engaged therewith;
- wherein the hammer sleeve has the shape of a hollowed cylinder having an inner diameter greater than an outer diameter of the threaded rod;
- wherein the attachment clip has an “L” shape further defined by a vertical portion and a horizontal portion;
- wherein the vertical portion includes a “+” shaded opening whereas the horizontal portion and vertical portion share a grooved slot;
- wherein the grooved slot enables the top distal end to pass through and engage against the threaded nut.
