Honest, this little tool is one of those things that makes you
gasp, it is so simple and works so well. Digging well-driven
T-posts out with a shovel is a terrible job (in my humble and
weak-armed opinion). With the extractor, I am not kidding, it
takes a minute. You slip one end of the tool around the post,
against the little nubs for keeping the wire up, and you work
the lever. One minute. Straight up.

It puts me in mind of the gambrel, a tool so simple and effective
it revolutionizes management.
