If I have to drive in a pilot hole I will drive down rebar stakes.

Thanks for all the input gents.

Larry I always pound in a pilot hole for cable stakes especially the berks. I carry a super stake driver for pilot holes.
For bullet type stakes I didn’t need a pilot hole.

I used wolf fangs for years.

A pilot hole is a must. Or you’ll be busting drivers weekly.

My size constantly grew, at the end I was using a 1” concrete bit. It sounds to big, but if the grounds hard enough, the fang will still find plenty to grab ahold of. Not to mention the hole “silts in” so you still end up having to pound the anchor down a fair bit.


I’ve since gone back to rebar for probably 90% of what I do. It’s just all around easier. It actually ends up being less weight to carry from the vehicle to the set not having to carry a drill, bit, driver, etc.
