ABSTRACT:
A driving cap for forcibly driving a wooden stake or fence post into the ground. The driving cap includes a horizontal hitting surface capable of withstanding the forces exerted manually by a hitting tool, such as a hammer, and an integrally attached sleeve member. The sleeve member has at least three vertical sides which extend downward and substantially perpendicular to the hitting surface. A central passageway is created in the sleeve member which is capable of receiving the top portion of a wooden stake or fence post. During use, the driving cap is placed over the end of the stake and fence post. A bubble level is attached to one vertical side of the sleeve member which enables the user to initially position and to maintain the stake's or post's longitudinal axis in a desired position while driving the stake or post into the ground. An information panel is also be attached to one side of the sleeve member which, in one embodiment, provides useful to provide information regarding the proper placement of the stake or post in the ground. In another embodiment, the information panel provides a writing surface for the user. An optional clip and distance gauge are also attached to the driving cap to aid the user.
