5/8” Grounding Rod,32" Long Hot Dip Galvanized Ground Rod Per ASTM A153 with Ring Terminal Connector Lugs UL Listed,Great for Electric Fences,Antennas (T-type 5/8’’ x 32’’)

The steel rod held up great once mounted into the ground, along with welded mounting bracket.

This was as expected and worked for my application. It doesn't look as nice and smooth as it does in the official product photos. Judging by how it looked, I questioned the durability of the coating. I won't repeatedly drive it in and remove it to see how it holds up though. You'll have to make a judgment call based on what everyone here is saying.

It's nothing special but works well enough. Used mine to ground a lightning surge protection device. Luckily the clay soils in my area are very conductive so I didn't need much depth to get a solid bond to earth.

The top broke off as I hammered it into moist ground with a 2.5# sledge. It was only the second time I used it. I have a similar item I received with a fencing kit which has lasted over a year with many location changes. Poor quality.

I got another solar powered electric fence charger and needed a good quality grounding rod for it. The secret to grounding rods is that they can go down deep enough to reach a good moisture zone in the ground as dirt by itself is not all that good of a conductor. It's the water in the dirt that does the grounding. This rod is 32 inches long which is good for my location with ground type and moisture content. The T hand is a real bonus for pushing in and pulling out. Good Item.

Feels sturdy and with the handle it feels like it will be a little easier to sink it into the ground. But a kind of big problem is that the galvanized coating is failing before I even unwrap it. I'll include a picture of it unwrapped. My plan was to use this for temporary stuff only so I'm hoping it wouldn't matter, but I'm going to ask for a replacement if possible. Giving it a middle rating for now and we'll see what happens with the swap.

This is very good quality, thick and solid grounding rod with even bolts to secure the electrical wire included. The T shape makes it very easy to get it into the soil even in drought conditions and also pulling it out is way much more easy and convenient than any regular grounding rod which is just the rod shaped with no T on the top. I really like it and I will be gladly recommending it.

Ordered this 5/8” Grounding Rod,Hot Dip Galvanized Ground Rod in order to use at my parents house to put a fence around the chicken coop.The rod feels very thick and robust. The coating seems a little thin and appears to scrape off easily but I am not sure if that's an issue or not. Attached lugs look good too. Have yet to install it so this review is based on a physical inspection of the device.Can't comment on how the price stacks up to other options, for a fence it does feel like maybe overkill for an electric fence.
