TR Industrial Ground Rod Driver, TR-One Shank for TR Industrial TR-100 and TR-300 Series Demolition Jack Hammers

The tool was exactly what I ordered, and it works great, thanks. MD.

Time is money, and this rod driver certainly managed to get the job done for me super fast. I just drove a 3/4"x10' ground rod today in under five minutes. This was in really hard adobe clay, and you can't do anything here without a jackhammer. I had previously driven a 5/8"x8' rod in the same location with a Bosch demo hammer, and this was way faster, even with the much bigger rod. I don't do this for a living, so I can't speak to reliability, but I live int he SF Bay Area, and $40 plus five minutes compared to what I might have to pay to rent a suitable demo hammer and rod driver, let alone get someone else to come out and drive even one ground rod shows that this driver paid for itself many times over on its first use. I may never use it again, but it still will have been a bargain. In case anyone cares, this rod driver weighs in at 5.5lbs. By comparison, a Bosch SDS-Max rod driver is 2lbs, and SDS-Plus drivers seem to be about 10oz. Couple that with the weight of a TR Industrial demo drill (42 pounds) and even a relatively light person such as myself can get the job done quickly. The combo is ungainly, but ungainly is fine for five minutes.

Fit my princess Auto jack hammer perfectly and got the job done.

Took a risk due to the picture of the broken one. I have a Gasoline Jackhammer (red thing) from Amazon (you'll know it when you search for it). My jackhammer claims it is a " 1-1/6"" Hex - yes, one SIXTH of an inch (???) - this thing works in it. Works great, works like it was made for it. If you've got the mystery gas-powered jackhammer from Amazon, that uses really weird units of measure, and you're wondering if this ground-rod-driver will fit.... the answer, Raymond, is YES! I like the steel - something wonderful about heavy steel. It is horrible to use - think dry waterboarding - but, that's the nature of jackhammers. Is good. Makes Stompy (what, your tool doesn't have a name?) ready to expand her poking capabilities. To sum it up - it is steel, it fits in my Stompy, it is heavy. That is all, end transmission.

Worked perfectly with my XtremepowerUS 3600W Electric Demolition Jack Hammer (also purchased on Amazon) to drive a 8' ground rod into shale. Took awhile but it did the job. I would never have been able to do this with a maul.
