Works well. Strong and secure. Don't forget to measure the size you need so that the rotary bit stays firmly upright.

Don’t imagine that the video of how to fit this is typical. Only some parts of the UK might this work. Where I live it is difficult putting a spade in the ground a few inches as we have a high level of pebbles and flints. After whacking this as described, I managed to get it about one third in, bending the tip of the spike. Also, where you can bang it in soft ground, I can’t imagine it wouldn’t eventually wear a bigger hole as the rotary line turns around. The only sure way of doing this is to dig a hole and fill with concrete. However, I like the fins on this spike as they help to ensure that the spike will never rotate or even move when securely set.It’s a well made item and i’m very pleased with it.

As described, works as it should. Easy installation. Just soak the ground for a while before inserting the unit.

We have already got one of these and so knew the quality was great, very solid and have been using for years and years. We have made a new area for our whirligig and so needed a second one. They do what they are supposed to do, hold the whirligig secure and it’s great to be able to close the hole when you take the line down to keep unwanted stuff from blocking it up. Perfect size for the larger Brabantia pole. It needs to be cemented in, I was told it needed to be set in 18” square and deep to keep it study when the wind blows as this size whirligig is big and solid, not flimsy like some can be.

after 23 years the airer became wobbly because the socket had rusted away.the new socket fits the old airer perfectly. Unless the ground is hard and dry, you can drive it into the ground. Cut into the ground with sharp spade, then i probed the target spot with a steel bar a couple of times until i missed the stones or was able to remove them. Once the route was clear enough, then insert the socket and drive it in with a lump hammer onto a piece of scrap timber, which was shattered by the time the socket was flat to the ground.For someone else the installation was much harder. When the ground is too hard to dig, due to stones or concrete hardened clay, you need to buy a heavy lump hammer and steel spike and bash away, soak with water, until a hole is chiselled out of the ground, which is like a mining operation! Make sure you go deep enough for the socket - you won't have time to deepen it once the concrete goes in. Fill hole with water and pour in 2 bags of postcrete, which sets really fast, so you need to get the socket in fast, immediately, put in the airer, again immediately, and get it plumb, hold for a few minutes and have a rest.

Great item, needed a new one as am moving and it is difficult to get these spikes out of the ground again. So bought this one to replace it. Regretfully it was delivered without the red cap to cover the hole when not in use. A very usefull item when the spike is in in grass. There is no way to identify this issue and you need to return the item and order a new one.Got mine cheap so probably not worthwhile. The description of the item not correct, great item but not complete so therefore three stars only.

Had a bit of a struggle to get this into the lawn. I followed the instructions and managed to get it a quarter of the way down.Purchased a mini 4lbs sledgehammer, and only got it a little further down. Stumped and about to give up, I checked the amazon reviews for any tips and discovered wetting the grown may help. So dumped a couple of gallons of water around the spike and left it overnight. Following day, gradually added a few more gallons and after soaking, finally got it level with the ground using some hefty blows with the sledgehammer. If only the instructions made the suggestion of wetting the ground. I recommend cutting away a small patch of grass if installing in a lawn. Hopefully will stay strong and anchor well for a long time.
