Topband: Ground rods

[Bill Wichers]

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.
