   sounds good to me. i use a hammer drill or electric demo hammer (without a   
   bit) to drive the rod. put the rod right into the chuck (don't tighten the   
   chuck) and pull the trigger. the weight of the tool puts it right into the   
   ground. no swinging hammers.   
      
   don't try this in the arizona desert...
