If I want to remove a 8' grounding stake, do I need a chain too? Is this the right tool that I need?

I have to concur with Tom, however I do think it can be done, depending on how deeply it is set in the ground. Anything in the 12" to 15" or about 3.6 to 4.5 meters is doable. Yet you may need another person to help you press down. And indeed it has a hook for chains, thus clearly it was taken into account.

Depending on how far it is sticking out of the ground, yes, you would need a chain. (If it is only out of the ground ~1 foot, a chain would be needed). My concern would be that the grounding stake may be too smooth for the chain to provide adequate friction to grip it though and the chain may pull of the grounding stake. If the stake is sticking out ~4 feet though, you could hook it in the post grabbing part and work it up from there but, depending on the diameter of the stake, it may bend, warp, and possibly break the grounding stake at that point of contact.

I suppose you could do it with a chain, but this tool is really for metal T posts. It does have a chain hook on it, but it would take an awful lot of muscle power to pull an 8' ground stake. I just don't know if it would work.

You could use a cut-off tool. I have a cordless Dewalt that would works well.

Hi Kathryn,In my opinion this stand works well and does not need extra chain but it has much ground clearance.

I use mine for drilling into the ground to loosen the soil in my gold prospecting hobby. It has held up very well with no issues, and must be of a good quality or I would have broken or bent it by now. A PVC septic line should be easy work for this tool.

Make sure that you have the right hardware (four Tapcon 5/16 in. x 2-1/4 in. hex-washer-head large diameter concrete anchors and four 1/4 in. x 5/8 in. galvanized steel flat washers) and tools (hammer driver drill or SDS hammer driver drill is even better and impact driver with the right socket). I use Makita cordless tools. You have to get it right the first time.

No,Crack the wallet and buy a regular or a hammer drill. You can buy a bare tool that fits your battery and save some bucks. Happy days!!

Yes. Works fine. Staked 3 so far. Just keep punching it until you get the desired movement. No hammering required.

I used the existing long chain but had to shorten it by removing one link. The kit comes with the short chain and that works fine. You'll love it.

I don't believe this 'Soft Mallet' is sturdy enough for driving tent stakes into hard ground. My tent stake tool of choice is a standard hammer. Once, I forgot the hammer and made use of a cast iron fry pan. To this day Wifey still reminds me of that error.

I just cut down a chain link fence . No problems very powerful tool. Make sure you have the right blade it took 5 blades to cut down 10 poles

PS. as for the ground stake, it's worth investing in metal stakes. They will be much more secure. Strong enough to cross two torches like an "X"

I wouldn't. . You have to buy a seperate stake. You screw the stake in the ground and you've got a 25 ft leash. One hook at the end goes on collar other goes on stake. Not enough length

Sure. Would be easy. Unit is small and has a screw in Mount in addition to stake. Very nice. You will be pleased. Live mine but it's is pointed in tree. But would look awesome on lawn.

No, you have to use at lease two of the pole extensions because the battery is attached to one and the chainsaw to the other. you may use it with out the center pole.

As long as the stake are metal, you will be fine. Surveyors used to use simple steel spikes when marking boundaries. Now they seem to use wood stakes more. Hope that helps
