Smart Design: When the Package is a Functional Part of the Tool It's Carrying
So each one comes with a handle when you only need one? Also, growing up splitting wood, a maul works better. A rubber mallet for setting plastic stakes works well, and a hatchet for metal spikes when camping. Love the screw idea, but in the Rocky Mountains, they might not penetrate the soil enough. They weigh a lot, so would not be ideal for backpacking. Great idea for the car camper or beach goer.
Oh man! Splitting rounds with a wedge. As a city boy schooled by my Vermont friends, they grabbed that short-handled heavy hammer from me and put a sledge (axe length handle) in my hands: T
HEN I learned how much easier it could be (after I learned to hit the wedge at a full swing).
Most people don't pay $20 for a single metal anchor and they drive them into the ground in a few seconds with a cordless impact driver.
