Small Ground Anchor

Yeah, these things are AMAZING for sand anchoring. No complaints at all. Way more durable and effective than other brands as well. Deep threading, strong, and easy to use with their T-handle thing. Don't throw that away! Very expensive, but the others are actual junk, so I guess they're worth it!

The Orange Screw arrived today and I put it right to work on the kids swing set. I have used a lot of stakes in my time, but never seen one that works perfectly right out of the box so to speak. It screwed the first one into the ground (mine has a lot of rocks and roots) with no problem. The second stake was in about half way when I felt it hit either a rock or root, and with another turn it proceeded to go right past whatever it was, and on into the ground. I then tied a rope to it and did my best to make it come up some or even out of the ground. It didn't even budge, and these are listed as small (8" shaft. the large ones have a 10" shaft) and worked like a auger! I am really impressed and I don't say that lightly. I'm buying several more to take camping for awning tie downs and cabin tent stakes. I honestly believe, anyone who buys these stakes is truly going to be impressed the way I was. Not to mention it's a family owned business and 100% made in America and lifetime guaranteed! Hats off to you guys, GREAT product!

These work great in beach sand. I think a waterspout could make landfall directly toward your canopy and would likely break your tie out lines before it'd pull these suckers up.

I used these this weekend on a typical campground in Ocala to secure my RV's awning. The screw grabbed the ground and screwed in perfectly, like buttah. I could tell it was a nice and secure hold. My only observation is that there was just a bit of give on the head when I put some pull pressure by hand. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, this thing certainly looked like it could take some force... but I don't know if I would call these "indestructible" either, which is a tall claim almost no brand should ever make. It's hard plastic at the end of the day, so it will have shatter limits. What those are are yet to be seen. Unlike other screw-type anchors that I've seen out there... the design of these, that is to say, the way the screw is designed feels like it is the better design than some of the other wider screw types. Like a wine cork-screw, this thing really dug in quickly and strongly. I will keep testing on other surfaces, but so far, I really like it.

I don't often write reviews on the things I purchase, but I want to for these. While on vacation in CA, my husband and I purchased a shade/canopy for the beach. It came with these tiny tent stakes and had to be held down with our stuff to stay in the sand. Keep in mind, this is on a relatively calm (wind-wise) beach in a cove. As we normally go to the beach in NJ (Gunnison Beach), we're used to WINDY beaches. In an effort to keep the canopy from becoming a wind surfing or paragliding accessory on our "regular" beach, I purchased these screw-spikes (while on the beach in CA). We were originally concerned that we wouldn't be able to get the loops of the canopy to hook on it. Little did we realize, they are thin enough to drill THROUGH the loops and held the canopy perfectly! (We thought we might have to buy carabiners to clip them together - glad to know we were wrong!) They were easy to put in and get out and we didn't have the slightest worry about losing the canopy or having it cause chaos on the beach. If I had to say ANYTHING negative about them, I would point out that they are VERY sharp/pointy and there's only ONE plastic cover on them. Other than that, they are freaking A.W.E.S.O.M.E.! I would recommend them to anyone who has any type of camping to do in a windy area, especially if it is also a sandy piece of ground.

I screwed this into the ground, which is made of clay here in Ohio. The clear plastic tube made it easy to rotate the screw in. I then tried to pull it out and there was no way it could be pulled out. I'd feel quite secure using these to tie down our 10' by 10' popup shelter with no worry about it blowing away should a strong thunderstorm roll through. Now if you had loose, sandy, or loamy soil, I think there is a possibility it could be ripped out but I couldn't test it in those soils because here we have only clay. (Maybe you could use more or longer screws in those soils.) I liked the fact that the "top" had several ways that you could attach it to the rope. It had open "hooks" which could be very convenient in situations where the rope lines would not move very much because you could just slide a loop of rope on and off them very quickly. And they also had closed "loops" for a windier situation where you wanted to make absolutely 100% sure the rope did not disconnect from the screw. Just feed the rope through the loop and use a taut-line hitch (look it up) to make a secure yet adjustable tie-down rope. Unfortunately it did not come with a storage bag so I just put the screws into a gallon size slider Ziplock bag and shoved it into the storage bag of our popup. I think the price is a bit high but the quality is there. I would definitely recommend this product.

Tough, should last a long time, perfect for securing tent in strong wind, easy to install and remove after use.

Works great I bought these to hold my umbrella in place and it works like a charm.

Good quality. I mainly bought these to use at the beach. Unless you dig really deep down, they are pretty much useless, you can just pull them up with your hands. But these are probably good for soil.

These are awesome. Super sturdy. Great confidence when tightening in ground. Love the hook head.

Great for keeping the tarp from blowing away while on windy beaches with the grandbabies. Would recommend.

I bought these because regular flat ones would just pull out of the sand at the beach when setting up my shelter. These were rock solid, I had to unscrew them to get them out.

These were easy to use and extremely sturdy. Used them on a pop up blind in a very windy area.They held up extremely well. Highly recommend these .
