[TowerTalk] Install ground rod

[William Greaves]

Agree that bigger is quicker. I've used three different sized rotary hammers into clay soil with about 45 min for the smallest hammer to 5-7 min for the largest. Largest size might be available for rent locally and will be a definite time-saver.Bill K9GN

Either Plus or Max version of the drill will work. After I got an SDS-Plus, the time for installing ground rods went from an appreciable portionof an hour to just a few minutes.73,Jack, W6FB> On Mar 26, 2025, at 11:12 AM, Tim Vandagriff <wa5yom at swbell.net> wrote:> > Any suggestions on the best ground rod installation tool?Thanks TimWa5yom> > > Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail for iPhone> _______________________________________________> > > > _______________________________________________> TowerTalk mailing list> TowerTalk at contesting.com> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
