Topband: tool for install radials

[Gary and Kathleen Pearse]

Hi John. Find a piece of wood, maybe a 2x4 and saw a slot in one end width-wise deep enough to firmly hold a partially inserted staple without it bending. Push or drive with a hammer against the 2x4 and force the staple into the ground over the wire flush with the end of the wood. Remove the wood (might need to tip sideways to release the staple if it’s tight in the slot), turn the wood 90 deg, and push down again to finish implanting the staple. Might work, never done it.

> is there a simple , not overly expense tool to set land scape staples while standing??   at 73, I do not want to go through  being on my hands and knees driving the staples in with a hammer.
