[TowerTalk] Ground rods with jack hammer drill

[Grant Saviers]

Bosch and DeWalt make a driver bit specifically for ground rods, check 
with a contractor or electrical supply dealer.  I bought one from  
ToolUp in Santa Clara, CA.   Online at  
http://www.toolup.com/search/search.asp?keywords=ground+rod+driver&x=0&y=0

You can probably rent the Hilti, Bosch, or Makita hammer drill from a 
good tool rental shop.
