Review on ⚡️ Unleash the Power of the Skywalker Signature Series Ground Rod – 4ft Marvel by Tay Fair

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy enough to be easily driven into the ground

This is a copper plated lightning rod. I'm assuming it's copper and not steel since it's so strong. Slowly driving it into the ground wasn't difficult with an 8-pound sledgehammer. For some reason, the screw and bracket for attaching the ground wire are a few inches from the end, and there's no way to get it any closer. I managed to tighten the screw enough that there is little chance of it loosening. After attaching #10 solid copper wire and tightening it very firmly, I covered it with a corrosion resistant coating of lime and then hammered it further into the ground. I suppose I might dig in it in the future, to remove the wire but I can't see why I would want to do that. This ground rod will spend the rest of my life deep in the ground near my house, constantly grounding my small TV antenna. It also suggests grounding the mast, but my mast is only a foot long and is bolted to the wall of my house, so I won't bother with that. If anyone can give me a good reason to back this up, I'll consider it. But there are many other pieces of metal sticking out of the roof of my house, like the attic fan, that I doubt are grounded, so I'm not particularly concerned.
