Ken,
So far I have not experienced the conditions you ran into. If I did, I would drive the rod at an angle or bury it in a trench.

I will reach out the gentleman I quoted and see what is position is for situations as you describe.

If I may ask, what’s the “appropriate tool” when you have a rock layer 40”

four others only made it most of the way.   So what is the recommendation?
