my vote goes to the Iowa pipe with the 45 degree on both ends. What is the reason for this?

my vote goes to the Iowa pipe with the 45 degree on both ends. What is the reason for this? Both ends were open, and the dirt would drive in as you drove it. I tried them once years ago, and started making my own, by pinching the end shut and cutting them square instead of at a 45. That solved that problem, and I used them for years. Worked great when built right. Don't know why they put the 45 on them, but whoever made the superstakes committed the same fatal error, and I have never used them for that reason!

the angle forces it to one side till it wedges, eventually bends the end back and forth until it breaks. I think I came up with an idea that could solve it. it needs some testing for the long term. and also some slight mods to the anchor itself and a different driver. I did my remaining stakes in about 15 minutes. for years I just squared up the end of the stake and that helped some. i was meaning, sticking on the driver. there is a reason they are called disposable! of coarse I am a tightwad also.

I made my own pogos for DPs and coon traps. Cable, washers (get small inner holes 1/4") and stops are all I build them with, no j hooks. Cable through the inner washer hole, beat on a stop until flat enough it wont pull through the hole, and other end of length of cable goes though the end hold of swivel and beat on a other stop. Cheap. I used a grinder and flat cutting wheel to make a thin cut about 1" deep in point end of a super driver. Slip a washer end into the slot and push or pound that into bank or creek bottom. Hold coon well and if I do lose one I'm not out much. I dont buy stainless or zinc fender washers just get the standard steel. For coyotes I cross stake rebar only, the only anchor I found that holds plus easier to retrieve from rock solid frozen ground here in january. I would never get a super stake back without a pick axe. A railroad pick I carry in truck will barely chip out a trap bed in winter here. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

those bulldog pullers cant be beat. there are some WF type stakes that do have a burr on them because of either a dull punch\ die setup or to much clearance. a stroke or 2 with a file will clean that up.
