Sluggo-Ox

[1793]

I order one of these the other day and it arrived today. I'm quite surprised at its weight, 7lbs, and construction. I think it will help in driving ground rods. Here are a few photos.



I received a phone call today as well from Sluggo-Ox and since I was their first sale in Kentucky they are going to send me FREE t-shirt.

After I get a chance to use it I will report back.

Somebody needs to make a powder actuated ground rod installer.

A hilti TE72 works nice with no bit in it. Just put the hilti on top of the rod and hammer away.:smile: :smile:

Hilti makes a ground rod driver that fits in the larger tools (TE 72 etc..) It will run you about $35-$40 bucks but it will keep the top of the rod neat and clean. It is also alot easier to drive rods with the Hilti than with a sledge and you won't damage the chuck....

yes, and you could call it the jetpack, because you'll be flying after you pull the trigger.

Any more excited about installing ground rods? :grin:

I have one of those but a different brand, it still sucks...

That's what the tower guys use to drive sectional rods. I have to wonder if they don't end up bent like a pretzel undergound.

No, I've never used a wrinkled up old woman with a bad dye-job to install ground rods.

I might have to retract my statement. Click on the video, and watch her put in a rod. She might be able to whip me if push came to shove.

I'll stick to my Hilti TE-905 AVR with ground rod attachments, thank you!

I've lugged 40lbs demo hammers to the top of a ladder and followed it down a lot quicker than I got up the ladder with it....:grin:

There are places in Arizona where NOTHING will pound in a ground rod.

Thats when you need the new " Macmikeman's Pretendarod" device. Its 3" of a rod welded to some 24" rebars set in a small cage pattern and covered with stucco, painted to look just like a real rock you drove that rod into. On sale now wherever better toys are sold.
