 Good job; good price; now with less breakageJul 02, 2009
By Flo Smith
We have used these tent stakes for years, and we have to keep buying them because the green plastic heads break off. Maybe it is a design feature to assure repeat customers. In our experience, the heads always break when trying to remove the stake with a stake puller, especially in hard soil.
BUT! I think I have found a way to avoid (or at least minimize) removal breakage. Before our last camping trip, I tied a cord to the nail portion, and threaded the loose ends through the hole in the green head. I used a miller's or constrictor knot (or some adaptation of it), then just tied the loose ends together into a loop above the plastic head. When stake pulling time came, we slipped the puller (or the handle of the mallet) into the cord loop (rather than into the plastic head), and all the stakes came up VERY easily, without damaging a single stake head. This concept works because now the pressure of the pull is absorbed by the metal nail, and not by the brittle plastic, and the pull is now directed at the shaft of the nail, which is what you want to remove (at least that's my theory; I don't pretend to understand physics). And it worked!! The loop was not in the way during the hammering phase, and provided the easiest removal that we have ever experienced. This method was tested in the hard, rocky soil of the Texas Hill Country - a tent stake's nemesis, I assure you.
Wikipedia has excellent examples of the aforementioned knots.
So with a little after-market retrofitting (I can attach the loops while my DH drives to the campground), these inexpensive, dependable stakes are at last a bit more durable.

I've only used these tent pegs (tent nails) on one camping trip, but they worked quite well. I used a rubber mallet and tent peg puller (separate purchase). These 10" pegs could be difficult to pull without a tent peg puller tool.
I also bought a small canvas duffel, about 12" long, to hold the peps. I lined/reinforced the inside of the duffel with cardboard to withstand the peg points. I also use the same duffel to carry the mallet and tent peg puller tool. When transporting these sharp-pointed pegs in close proximity to tent fabric and inflatable sleeping pads, the pegs need to be housed in some sort of protective case.

SolidMay 07, 2010
By Bill Woodruff
These solid steel spikes with pointed ends drive in easily and hold tight. My only disappointment is with the brittle green plastic top. I broke two the first time out securing canopy feet. You should run the rope through the hole and tie around the shaft to secure it -- don't just tie to the green piece. They're heavy too, so are great for anchoring a canopy but I wouldn't think they would be suited for backpacking.

ExcellentSep 23, 2011
By manchu
Really been looking for item with this many tent pegs included and at a good price. Now I can secure my tent and shelter without worring I might bend the stakes

 plastic parts break easilyFeb 05, 2011
By Andrew C. Flick

tent stakes are supposed to be tough, but these didn't survive one usage. The plastic is too brittle to survive light hammering in 50 degree weather. Look elsewhere for long-term durability.
