Works great in rocky soil November 18, 2008
If you're camping where there is rocky or packed soil and have CRAPPY "wire stakes" in your tent bag, replace them!!!!
This is a good choice.
Perfect for cleansing the world of evil....and for camping November 6, 2008

As one of the world's most famous Hunters, much of my time is spent mercilessly vanquishing Dracula's undead blood-sucking ilk. I also enjoy camping at a nice serene lake or wooded meadow. Which is why these tent stakes are so wonderful for me. They serve two vital functions:
1. Holding my tents securely to the ground, providing maximum protection from both the elements and wildlife.
2. Staking vampiric threats in an effective and stylish manner, should they happen to ambush me at my campsite.
Now if I were slaying vampires on the job, I would normally use my silver garlic-tipped serrated ultimo-stakes (with mechanized ultramantium cores, of course). But when lounging by my favorite fishing hole, my usual equipment isn't always readily available. That is when these little aluminum babies come in handy. They easily penetrate not only the toughest of soil, but also the sturdiest of vampire chests (after a little extra sharpening).
Their lightweight design may lead inexperienced Hunters to believe that they are useless in the art of staking. Quite the contrary. If the correct wrist flicking technique is utilized, the results can be devastating. For instance, I was once cooking dinner at my campsite when my supernatural senses alerted me to an approaching vampire. I immediately launched into a series of backflips, yanked one of the tent stakes from the ground, and hurled it at the stealthy intruder (it all happened in about 3 seconds). The force of the impact took the vampire off its feet.
I would like to offer a couple tips to novices. Since the price tag of quality ultimo-stakes is outrageously high (a minimum of $50,000 per unit for the less advanced models), these affordable tent stakes make great starting projectiles for fledgling Hunters. After mastering the basic stake hurl and stake stab, you can move on to more advanced methods. My personal favorite is tossing the stake into the air and then propelling it through an undead heart with an awesome jumping roundhouse kick.
Err...and don't forget about camping. They're great for that too.
Good luck and be safe out there. Keep an eye to the shadows.

strong & lightweight October 3, 2008
Very lightweight & strong. Just what I needed to replace some aging "stock" tent pins, long since bent into contorted splines from hard ground.
Much Better Than Plastic September 20, 2008

We've camped on all kinds of surfaces from grass to gravel to hardpan, and these stakes work very well for every surface. Unlike the plastic stakes that so often come with tents, these will not break, split, or bend. These are better than the steel stakes with plastic heads, because as you know, the plastic heads are easily bent and broken. These stakes go into the ground with relative ease, and you can hit 'em with a mallet if the ground is that hard. Removal is fairly easy; if the ground is hard, hook the string over your mallet handle and pull. Out they come! We've never had a problem with these, and we have tried just about every kind of stake available.
Works well September 10, 2008
These light weight stakes have a nice design that works well in most ground conditions.
