Screw Pegs
After struggling so much with rock pegs at Suton on Sea, I decided to invest in screw pegs. First time out this weekend, no joy. It appears they will only work with a hammer drill!! My non hammer drill just turns the peg, but it won't penetrate the hard
standing.
Anyone else have this problem?

I use the hammer gun that winds steadies and takes off wheel nuts.

Is removing wheel nuts with a 'hammer gun' something that you've ever done? or is it something that you "think" might be done with torqued on wheel nuts?

I tried screw pegs in the past, a complete waste of time in my opinion. I use good quality rock pegs hammered in with a lump hammer and pulled out with a claw hammer.

We think the screw pegs are brilliant. So easy to screw in with a drill and can be used on most harstandings. If the ground is a bit hard, use a lump hammer to knock it in an inch or two and then sue the drill. Easy to remove with the drill a you just
screw them out.0 -

I didn't warm to screw pegs, I have to admit, so I abandoned the idea. When I put in a peg, I usually attach the peg first before hitting it in the ground. With screw pegs I used to find this more difficult to do - especially when you 'unscrew'. I used
to get the pegging point wound up when I tried to unscrew.I know many folk put the peg in the ground and then attach the pegging poin (and do the same in reverse). I can see that this might work better. I've usually found you get a tighter peg-out if you attach the pegging point before you hit the peg into the
ground. Just my way of doing it I guess!

I tied the fibreglass screw pegs with mixed results, found they broke easy in touch ground - however the large ones are excellent in softer ground for the storm straps...
Have bought a set of rock pegs from go outdoors and use a cordess hammer drill (when I remember to put it in....
) to get them into hard standing after getting the first few inches in with a mallet.Have also given up with said rubber mallets and use a small sledge hammer... my ratio of success to sore fingers has increased!!!!!!!!

Why don't you invest in some metal screw pegs and a lump hammer? If my wife can manage then any one can. LOL!

Screw pegs have made our lives so much easier! We bought a 40 pack from Megascrew and although a little pricey they go straight in! As long as you have a decent drill you shouldn't have any issues! These ones are metal so they shouldn't shatter like somebody else mentioned!!
