I will add that the ground rod driving attachment for SDS drills (a type of
hammer drill) is your best friend if you have a number of ground rods to
install. Especially in rocky ground. Once you've used one you'll never go back
to a hammer.
It helps to put some plastic around the top of the rod if using this
attachment. It's easy to score the copper cladding in a ring around the rod
from the edge of the tool otherwise.
