I bought a 6 in. length of 1 in. pipe and a cap at Home Depot which
has worked fine for me at a cost of less than $5.00. I figure that
after a dozen or so ground rods I might have to replace the cap
because of the sledge hammer abuse, but it does the job just fine,
without any mushrooming of the rod.
I got the ground rod over 4 feet into the ground of Bainbridge
Island, WA without even using the sledge (I sure couldn't have done
that when I lived in caliche-infested Tucson, Arizona).
