[TowerTalk] Copper ground rod driver

[Mark Robinson]

Yes I tried that fence post tool but I preferred to use a lump hammer and 
then switch to a sledge when the going got tougher. I was able to get 10 
foot ground rods in below ground level. Some were easier than others

The Tractor Supply place had them.
