I bought 8 anchors for the play set that flipped and the grand daughters trampoline. I’ve got one Milwaukee torque drill and a large Makita. They were using a cordless, but mine are corded.
I’ve had both drills for years. Never having a chance to use them Of late. Let’s see if they can turn the anchors. I’ve not used either in 15 years..
I used two of those things to hold my tomato plant gantry thing back against 50 mph winds last summer when the plants were over 6 feet tall. Six plants.
The gantry is just 1" electrical conduit, two verticals, wise radius 90° pieces and then a horizontal. No guy wires or anything. Didn't think I needed them.
But I went out in the storm to put those little 2" auger anchors in & tie some paracord as guy wires. Just two on the north side.
They held really well, which is surprising because the soil wasn't even compacted. I twisted them into the tilled garden soil by hand.
