Ground anchors

[mobilnissan1991]

Do they make a tool that can fit on a drill to install these particular ground anchors? Bought them at Tractor Supply. My grandmaw just got a new central AC and Im trying to set it up so I can strap it down for a hurricane.

A small cement dead man set 36"deep (use wire rope) might work better than power augering with that.

use a bar through the ring and twist

Yes , they make a tool for that . A lot of time they come with the anchors . Did you ask for the adapter when you bought the anchors ?

I always assumed a short bar and a lot of work. Not sure if wetting the ground would help or not. Maybe driving a prybar down first, like a pilot hole, so as to make sure there isn't a rock or ledge in the way?

I screwed a bunch of these in horizontal on a pond bank this spring. Get a 5/16" or so " 6" long threaded eye, chuck it in a hammer drill and bolt the two together. Easy peasy.

Stick the long end of a 3/8 or 10mm Allen wrench in your drill. Use the short side to spin anchor

do it by hand ,you will have a better sense of the resistance and thus the holding power once its in ,your wrist will thank you

Chuck one of these in your drill.

That won't work if you have to apply pressure to get started. I tried a threaded hook first. Then tried a big socket that kind of worked.
