90 degrees here today. Great day for yard work and welding... NOT. A tip that Gary from hammers trapline products told me was to weld both sides of the mighty S hook. 4 welds per S. Closes everything up nicely. Like he said the chain or the casting on the bullet attachment will break before the S hook gives.

… nice welds

x2. I'm jelly of that nice machine chain used for stakes

That’s flat sexy.

Thanks guys. Im no welder but a mig with gas makes it look pretty good.

Skip the mighty S hooks and go with 5/8 lock washers. Thank me later

My buddy’s husband welded ten for me just the other day. I am so happy to be rid of cable stakes for a bit. They aggravate me

…. Tip on pulling them

I use the utv winch to pull my chained super stakes…

… that’s one souped up golf cart right there

Dang Savell and I thought I was in high cotton with my milwaukee brushless 18 with an auger. It really does work slick running it down beside the cable or chain and they usually just fall out. Unless your dealing with really hard clay.

…. Takes about 5 seconds or less to pull one with the sthil auger

… sheepdog turned me on to that back in the day …. Sonofagun will flat out get it

I went to cold shuts welded on mine. I've never managed to break the chain or the ears on the anchor. But I run #5 chain. I have however managed to snap the S hook in half, rather than breaking at the weld before. That is when you know you got a good weld.

I made a few dozen anchors with number five chain for a fellow trapper and found it simple to just cut open the chain link at its weld spread it a tad slide it through anchor tab pinch shut and weld it back shut worked out nice. Those anchors have been pulled and re used many seasons now.

Not welding the swivels shut?

Clamp a 5/8 lock washer by bottom in vise Use a stout screwdriver and place through washer and twist it open. Apply bullet stake and chain. Twist screwdriver opposite direction to close up gap in lock washer and weld it shut. Cheap and easy
