"I use this before but different kinds. This one has a really nice handle that saves your hand when you’re trying to screw it into ground. I highly recommend."

"I ordered two of these. They are weak and poor quality. The handle snapped when trying to install one. The second one snapped in half along the metal rod. Waste of money."
