A:  3/4 in.

A:  Not sure. They seem very strong maybe loosen up the soil before inserting. hope this helped.

A:  Probably not

A:  The nylon anchoring spikes are very durable and can withstand most soil conditions. The following tips can help mitigate any issues you may run into. When working in hard compacted soil it is best to wet the ground prior to pounding the spikes. This will help to soften the soil and allow the debris underneath to shift easier. Always use a rubber mallet, not a hammer. Additionally, if you hit a large rock, it is best to relocate the spike. Small pebbles will typically shift, but larger debris can cause the spike to break. Thank you for your question, we hope this helps.

A:  Good Morning Omar. We apologize for the fulfillment error. Dimex produces the ProFlex brand, as well as the Vigoro branded spiral spikes. There may be subtle differences, but no functional design changes that would impact the performance of the product. Again, we apologize for the fulfillment error and the confusion it has caused.

A:  Hi, Omar, this is Karen. I bought this product for my house in MS more than a year ago, and I can't recall whether there was a brand switch in my spikes. So you're absolutely right to have Home Depot or the manufacturer address your question. I hope that they do so. Good luck.

A:  I’ve used them and didn’t notice a difference they have work just fine for my application.

A:  I have used both types, both worked equally. It appears that an OEM has more than one customer. The substitution of brand name for equally performing available product to fulfill an order in a timely manner is not uncommon.
