[TowerTalk] Driving ground rods

[Barry Kutner]

Hi Towertalkians:
I recall dscussion several months ago about driving ground rods.  
Somone mentioned using an electric jackhammer. I've called a few 
rental places, and what I've come up with is this:
1. A 32 lb. electric jackhammer. It requires a special square bit, 
and you can't just shove a ground rod in it.
2. A 66 lb "ground rod driver" made for that purpose.

#1 apparently won't hold a round bit.
#2 seems a bit unwieldy to carry 66 lbs up a 6 ft ladder

Other ideas invited...
Tnx/Barry
