Fanbx Tent Pegs - 12Pcs Aluminium Tent Stakes Pegs with Hook - 7’’ Hexagon Rod Stakes Nail Spike Garden Stakes Camping Pegs for Pitching Camping Tent, Canopies

These stakes are clearly a mixed metal, low quality item. They are extremely light weight and I feel like If I wanted to, I could bend them with my own hands. They also arrived pretty scratched and dented, which they probably got that way from shipping alone. I needed the stakes to secure netting over a koi pond, so for that purpose they work. I would never use these to secure a tent down.

I used this product to replace a splintered section of tent pole. The product instructions were adequate and helpful but the tool included could not be used to thread the shock cord through the pole sections. Once the cord was taped onto the wire with tape, the diameter was too large to be pushed through. The wire actually broke free of the tape and slid alongside the cord. This is what I wound up doing. I was afraid the shock cord from the kit wouldn't e long enough, so I salvaged the existing cord by pulling the knotted end out with a small crochet hook and untied the knot. I then carefully removed the sections back to the bad one, keeping a hand on the shock cord at all times so as not to lose the end into the pole. Once I had the bad piece off, I pulled out the shock cord as far as it would go and put a safety pin through it to hold it in place. The I used the wire to thread a doubled length of yard through the new piece of pole. I put the loose end of the shock cord through the loop of yarn and pulled from the other end to thread the cord through the new piece. I carefully moved the safety pin and repeated the procedure for the sections I had to remove to get to the bad one. At the end, I again placed the safety pin to give me some slack to easily tie a new knot. My tent pole is as good as new. The only reason I withheld the 5th star is because of the tool. A thinner piece of wire with a loop at one end would have been better and including some sort of plug or clamp to secure the shock cord would be nice.

I spent too much time trying to find quality stakes. These are the winner!I wanted thick stakes I could use to hold my chain-link fence tight to the ground (Small dog who can crawl under it).Way to many cheap, thin metal stakes that are totally inadequate to put into the ground, unless you have sand, or soft soil (I have clay).These stakes are robust, not the thin wire crap that bends if you put a little pressure on them.I'm a happy purchaser!

These are great... took awhile to find pegs with the hexagonal shape instead of round. Not sure why I like them better, but our Marmot backpack tent came with stakes like these, so I wanted matching stakes to replace those that bent or broke. The black anodizing is a bonus so I can tell them apart from the red and gold ones I already have.

These are great pegs for midwestern soil. I used three dozen to hold the bottom tier of about 75 feet of chicken wire in place. I placed the pegs in October and they are still in place after the ground has frozen and partly thawed at least once. They hold up to pounding without bending, and the hook is sufficiently curved to sink into the soil. They are well-engineered and a good value.

Worked great for what I needed them for. When you live in Florida, you live in sand. These drove into the ground far enough so that the wind would hold my stuff in place

They are very week, bend and break incredibly easy.

I used these for my tent and tarp on a field exercise last year. They were a good buy, and they do what they're supposed to do, but I'd bent most of them after a couple weeks of rebuilding my campsite every night.
