Blue Diamond Screw Tent Pegs - 20 pack, Purple, One Size

Product Information

After several years of using these, I finally broke a couple. The first one snapped from too much torque on the drill, trying to go into seriously hard ground, and it basically just twisted the steel off. The main reason for the drill driven tent pegs being so good is they can be used in hard ground. This means crushed limestone, gravel or even compacted dirt is no issue at all.

Peggy Peg can even supply long masonry bits to pre-drill holes into ridiculously hard ground. A combo tool can be used to help twist the pegs into the ground should your drill not do the job and there are purpose-designed anchor plates that accommodate up to seven separate pegs for extra ground-hugging force as well as slots to take awning legs. If you’ve not used them before, know that everyone who has them raves about them, for good reason. Over the years, camping has become so much easier, and more comfortable, and little inventions like this go a long way to making this happen.

I’ve snapped and bent a couple

Peggy Peg offers many different lengths and diameters, as well as aluminium and UV reinforced fibreglass pegs. A great design feature is the rope clips that slot over the hex-shaped head onto the main shaft. The clip can be used anywhere on the shaft meaning the peg doesn’t have to be drilled all the way in to still allow a pull from ground level, which will reduce potential peg damage. Attaching to the clip is a guy rope ladder, which replaces the steel spring on most guy ropes. It is easy to sweep because it is taught across the ground and it is no longer a trip hazard as it was before.

You can manually install some of these, but it takes more time, and unless you are very limited with what you can take, a drill is well and truly worth throwing in.

Price Match Promise

I also managed to drive the Dmax over one of them, and bent it pretty badly, but otherwise they are going well! Where can you buy screw in tent pegs from? The first pull was set to be pulling the peg out of the ground at a 45° angle, replicating use on a tarp, awning or tent – in effect, trying to bend the peg as well as pulling it free from the ground, and that’s a no-no for some of these pegs. I have tried using the common screw pegs on hard standing with little success. They just seem to spin like crazy but not grip and screw in.

To install them, just use the drill to wind the screw into the ground, at a 45 degree angle, or a little more vertical and hook what you need onto them.

These probably take a similar amount of time to put in as a traditional peg, but its less effort, and the removal is where they are really valuable. We use screw in tent pegs to hold the shower and toilet tent down DIY screw in tent pegs A huge number of people travelling these days carry 18V drills, and winding a few tent pegs in and out is easy work. These can double up for winding the caravan or camper trailer legs down, repairs and maintenance on your gear and don’t take up much room. We are very pleased with our Bunnings Screw in Pegs, and have recommended them to a heap of people already. Blue Screw offers two plastic pegs at 310 and 580mm long. They are ideal in sandy environments with exceptional high-hold abilities. Blue Screw suggest its pegs work well in snow, sloppy mud and underwater too, which would be ideal for a boat mooring. The rope hook on top is large enough to attach multiple guy ropes. This product is aimed squarely at sand and soft soil use; forget trying to twist it into hard ground – it simply won’t work. As the Blue Screw is so flexible and long, you need to ensure it’s wound all the way in if pulling it at an angle, but works equally as well if screwed in line with the rope pull instead of at an angle, which could bend or twist the shaft beyond its limits.
