Fence post repair
I am disabled and not able to put in new posts, however, using the Post Buddy, I was able to repair the broken posts quite easily, with the help of my wife. The fence is very firm now. Brilliant gadget.Read full review

Have used on one post and bought 2 more sets as a backup
Fixes posts that have snapped at ground level. Easy to insert with block hammer and stabilises the post. Well made and engineered. Price is reasonable. Much easier than replacing the post and cheaper too.Read full review

THIS SYSTEM SEEMS TO WORK VERY WELL
I'm a skeptical sort of guy, and over the years I have dug-out concrete dollies, I have used 'met-post' repairs, stood another concrete pillar next to a broken post and of course replaced entire fences. So this solution felt worth a go. In terms of installation - myself and my neighbour were able to fix 2 fence posts in just under 40 minutes. The only tools needed were a spade, a lump-hammer, an electric drill and some screws. Care needs to be taken to ensure the Post-Buddy goes in vertically, and of course the concrete that you are hammering it into needs to be in good repair too. But they seem to work! It's been fairly breezy on a couple of occasions since, and there is no movement. So fingers crossed. I'd definitely use them again.Read full review

It WORKS 👍🏻
Section of waist-high picket fence with a gate at each end was flopping over. Post at each end was broken just below ground level due to rot. 2 of these babies at each end and it’s now solid as a rock. If you’re in any doubt about this system - don’t be. It’s amazingly effective and easy to install. My handyman neighbour was sceptical. Helped me install it. Ate his words.Read full review

A good solution to the problem
Amazing is a bit strong but certainly good value and easy to use. I had two broken posts and these bars went in easily and the posts are now firm. I shall probably get more should I need them. definitely recommended.Read full review

Discreet post bar for fence post repairs
Easy to use, and so strong they don't deform like other similar products. The chisel edge works really well in keeping the post buddy straight between the base of the post and the concrete. I hit it all the way home with a 4lb club hammer did not require to be sledged into place.Read full review

Reasonably good repair
Needed to fix two fence posts broken at the base. Generally good but I wouldn't shake the fence and I'll see how it stands up in the next storm. Otherwise it was an easy job

Effective repair to large fence.
I was not sure how good they would be as the fence is high and heavy. I had two broken posts at ground level during the storm. I have noticed over the years that most posts break or rot at the point they go into the ground. Apart from about an inch and a half of rot in the ground the rest of the posts in the concrete base seemed very solid.
The fact these Post Buddies have a slight curve at the chisel tip helps them cut down between the concrete and remaining posts. On one post I had no access to the back so positioned the two supports front and side. All the supports went in as they were supposed to and now the fence feels solid and supported. The repair should be good for years,
Very pleased with the design and how effective these were. The last time one of the posts broke it took me 2 days to get the old post out as access was difficult. This time the Post Buddies have saved me hours of digging out the old posts and concrete. Read full review
