Guess I'm just lucky, I was able to sink this...
Guess I'm just lucky, I was able to sink this rod the first 3 feet just by hand. The last 5ft took some doing. By the time I was finished, thepoint on the end was flattened.

Sturdy drove down into ground easy

Used this grounding rod to ground my outdoor tv antenna, using a 6 gauge copper wire. I was able to put this rod at a shallow angle just above the ground and drive it vertically 8 feet into the ground. We live in the hill country of south Texas and the bedrock layer is typically around 14 inches deep so driving a rod straight down 8 feet is not possible.
ERICO copper-bonded ground rods are the highest quality ground rods available today. We use a unique manufacturing process, which includes drawing the steel rod to size before the copper bonding process begins. This results in a straighter, harder steel core, making installation easier. ERICO uses a continuous electro-plating process over the steel core that results in a permanent molecular bond that provides decades of reliable performance. Our state-of-the-art ISO registered manufacturing facility provides a consistent, high-quality finished product that is used in millions of installations around the world.
