Blue Diamond Screw Tent Pegs - 20 pack, Purple, One Size

Product Information

The first pull was set to be pulling the peg out of the ground at a 45° angle, replicating use on a tarp, awning or tent – in effect, trying to bend the peg as well as pulling it free from the ground, and that’s a no-no for some of these pegs.

Daniel Marron Brought a set of these bad boys at the camping show Feb 2018, the best set of pegs ever. We have a camp trailer and I set the misses up with the cordless drill and away she goes. Super easy to go in, easy to drill out. Great product. http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/100873-recommendations-for-screw-pegs/?do=findComment&comment=1102759 Kim Rasmussen I Just wanted to say thankyou for your fantastic service, fast delivery and top product. They certainly have made life easier! http://www. caravantalk. co. uk/community/topic/119191-pegging-down-the-awning/?hl=%2Bscrew+%2Bpegs&do=findComment&comment=1400706Like with anything new, it takes a few goes to learn how to use it. Test it out at home a few times before setting up your camp. You’re safety is important to us, so remember to not ‘force’ the peg into the ground – let the drill do most of the work. If you hit an obstruction in the ground, be aware that the stake could stop abruptly and transfer the twisting force into the handle of your drill. That’s why it’s important to use the medium/low torque setting to start with and adjust it accordingly. The video below shows how to stand with your legs slightly apart with the drill handle braced on the inside of your right leg as you penetrate the stake into the ground. This brace method could help reduce injury to your wrist if the stake hits an obstruction and sends the force upwards into the handle, causing the drill and your hand to violently twist – your leg will stop the drill from spinning and twisting your wrist.

We now have a GroundGrabba Junior for lower loads and harder grounds available with great holding power but not to the same degree as our Pro, Pro I and Pro II. Don’t take our word for it, see what RV Daily says Peggy Peg can even supply long masonry bits to pre-drill holes into ridiculously hard ground. A combo tool can be used to help twist the pegs into the ground should your drill not do the job and there are purpose-designed anchor plates that accommodate up to seven separate pegs for extra ground-hugging force as well as slots to take awning legs. Screw In Pegs are a galvanised 200mm-long shaft that accepts an included 5mm hexagonal driver, and both standard drills and impact drivers for great drilling forces. While looking a little agricultural, the cleverly designed wires loop and hook remains on the peg shaft and can be used to attach a guy rope, or to hold a tarp down directly to the ground. A great design idea sees the hook pointing downwards so as not to promote toe-stubbing. Although the Screw In Peg performed faultlessly in harder soils, the performance in anything softer is not much different to a standard peg. The finer flutes on the shaft clogged with dirt, rendering it of little use for ground-holding ability.You might be wondering how to attach your tent or structure ropes to your GroundGrabba – all you need is the HexHook to slip over the top of the GroundGrabba Pro, Pro I or Pro II then simply hook your rope over the end. They’re yellow zinc plated for anti corrosion and come with a lifetime replacement warranty if in the unlikely event they break. You can also use these on coach bolts (but GroundGrabba’s are way better :) The Aldi pegs are very good but you do need to remove the plastic T and open up the holes so the T spins freely. I use 8mm long coach screws and penny washers now. I’ve found the best technique to driving pegs into hard standings if they won’t screw in is to strike them firmly but not too hard and ease them into the substrate rather than trying to get them in with one Thor-like blow. Read the independent review RV daily conducted on our GroundGrabba ground anchors and see how they compare to other ground stakes on the market. They test them against traditional tent pegs and measure the load that they can withstand before pulling out of hard ground and beach sand. A little hint – our steel stakes can withstand the most tension out of all the tent pegs, at over 700kg (over 1500lb)! We’ve all been there – hammering in a dozen or more traditional tent pegs and being utterly exhausted afterwards. Not to mention how it feels when one or two slip out in high winds and you’re off trying to catch your tarp and secure it again. See our demonstration on how our ground anchor stakes compare to hammer-in tent pegs by watching the video below. Sometimes the ‘new way’ is simply better! I bought some screw in pegs from Aldi, last year. Tried them once - absolutely useless. Even starting them with a lump hammer (defeating the object of them, IMO) they wouldn't go in. Just spun around and I agree that there is a danger of catching fingers / awning ladders as the top spins round. I hate putting the awning up on a hardstanding - which is why we invariably go to places where we can have a nice grass pitch!

Blue Screw offers two plastic pegs at 310 and 580mm long. They are ideal in sandy environments with exceptional high-hold abilities. Blue Screw suggest its pegs work well in snow, sloppy mud and underwater too, which would be ideal for a boat mooring. The rope hook on top is large enough to attach multiple guy ropes. This product is aimed squarely at sand and soft soil use; forget trying to twist it into hard ground – it simply won’t work. As the Blue Screw is so flexible and long, you need to ensure it’s wound all the way in if pulling it at an angle, but works equally as well if screwed in line with the rope pull instead of at an angle, which could bend or twist the shaft beyond its limits. Screw in tent pegs are great for regular sand, really soft sand and loose earth, and for your standard camp ground earth. Being a screw-in design, a hammer is replaced by a 12V drill, although a shifter, spanner, ratchet or a hand brace (like your caravan leg winder) can be used to insert and extract the pegs.Peggy Peg offers many different lengths and diameters, as well as aluminium and UV reinforced fibreglass pegs. A great design feature is the rope clips that slot over the hex-shaped head onto the main shaft. The clip can be used anywhere on the shaft meaning the peg doesn’t have to be drilled all the way in to still allow a pull from ground level, which will reduce potential peg damage. Attaching to the clip is a guy rope ladder, which replaces the steel spring on most guy ropes. Georgie McRae We used Hex Pegs for a marquee at my wedding. They were so easy to use, and kept it very secure in windy conditions. So much easier than trying to use weights or traditional pegs – thank you Hex Pegs! In fact, as far as comparisons go, it is unfair to really put all but one GroundGrabba into the tent peg category because ours hold up to 7x more than other types and brands of screw-in tent pegs out there. We are the market leaders when it comes to holding power.
