Abstract: A guide collet for a post driver having a main body configured to partially receive a post therein is attachable to the main body of the post driver and comprises a plurality of parts that collectively form a collet opening when the parts are attached to the main body of the post driver. The collet opening is configured and adapted to slideably receive a post. The parts of the guide collet are separable from each other without tools when the guide collet is detached from the main body of the post driver such that the guide collet is capable of being separated from a post that previously extended through the collet opening without sliding an end of the post through the collet opening.
