Harbor Freight (sigh .. again) has their 1" SDS Rotary Hammer Kit on sale
for $59.99 -- extra bit set is $9.99, buy one .. hard to find SDS bits ..
cut off a bit to make a blunt end, put a deep well socket over the shaft,
and bang away .. better yet, sacrifice a china cheapo socket and weld it in
place. I just got their e-mailed coupon for one of the Hammer kits, 20 bux
off.. in store only ..so only $40 --- I have one, worky worky!
PS -- also 6" digi caliper for $6 --way handy for us old folks for figuring
ID/OD !!
XYL, WA6MJB, won't let me take credit cards into their store, but I have a
mini VISA stashed for those "special deals" HIHI...

What is the best/easiest method to sink ground rods? I know the trick of
using water to fill the hole several times to make it easy, but I have also
heard that the ground contact is not as good using this method vs. pounding
the rod in the hard way, in dry ground. Which is best?
