Electric Fence Posts

I accept that electric fence posts are consumable items but I am getting fed up replacing them so often. Today I broke one of my oldest ones which I bought 30 odd years ago and it made me realise it had outlasted many younger models.
So does anyone know of any plastic posts that are a bit better made than the ones I buy in my local farm shop?

Get wooden posts and a post banger - hours of fun building up your biceps!

Ah, OK. I have a track system so only use plastic posts when I need to close a section.
