For all of you wishing for a ground rod driver:
It is simply amazing what comes up if you "google" terms like 'ground rod drover,' "post pounder,' or 'pile driver.' Or, 'fence post driver.'
There are a number of folks selling compressor-driven or hydraulic-driven drivers. Think 'modified jackhammer,'
Another guy sells a variation of the hand-held post driver that claims to let you also use it to remove rods.
One clever firm has drill points that you place on the rod- supposedly, you then are able to 'drill' the rod into the ground.
The final one- one that has some appeal to me- is a collet arrangement for your jackhammer. This contraption slips over the rod, sits near ground level, and lets you use a jackhammer to drive the rod. No need to climb the ladder- and no rod whipping around.
NOW- if anyone has tried any of these things- speak up!
