Strainrite the fencing equipment makers do them.

Even cheaper.

 

This post knocker has worked out well. A 1.35m tree stake takes 2 or 3 knocks compared to 6 or 7 with a fencing maul. The only problem I have had has been when stakes have snapped inside the post driver and the two broken bits have jammed against each other (three in a day). This might be less of a problem with a smaller internal diameter. Tom.

This does happen, especially when the break is diagonal. As you say it's only occasional. I tend to watch out for large knots or other causes.
