Dave I have used the water trick with great success. I feel that it is alot safer than having someone swinging a hammer over another persons head as they steady the ground rod. Just keep the rod wet and moving it in an up/down motion and you will be surprised at how good this works. And it really doesn't take a lot of water.
Free Water vs $1000.00 Hilti
Point me to the water!!!
Good luck
