    Kinda looks like it. I like the ones you put on the end of your hammer drill. Much less work!

    Yeah, looks like a slide hammer to me.

    When I drive them I use a fence post driver (Deluxe Post Driver - Tractor Supply Online Store) until it hits the ground and then finish it off with a sledge hammer.
