Just a quick post, but for anyone who insists on buying the cheap nylon pegs, I've found the vango ones are the strongest and best design.

The problem I find is that when knocking them in they tend to bend at the neck of the peg meaning you can't hit them any more. Because of the thicker neck on the vango pegs and guy hook not being part of it, I haven't bent one yet.

Not a lifesaving tip, but as tesco's point out every little helps

Nylon Delta pegs are just the job - take a hefty whack too!

I have seen the damage that can be done ,so personally if the wind is going to blow strong enough to pull my pegs out of the ground ,then I would rather that be the 'weak link' rather than the pegs stay in and the guy ropes mountings be ripped from my tent damaging it irreparably 

Anyhoooo ,the op was letting us know about some fab pegs he was recommending ,I am sure he didnt intend the thread to be yet another free sales pitch for Delta

Maybe a good quality strong tent is just as advisable as a good peg then

I also thank the OP for his info, however as a lot of people are likely to be shopping for equipment currently the comment by another poster about the merits of Delta's is also justified in my humble opinion.
I personally love Delta's and letting other people know via word of mouth on here does no harm as far as I can see. Its how I first came upon them in fact.

hi guys/gals

the pegs I was refering to in the OP was for those who insist on buying standard nylon pegs (non delta) as a replacement for their stock ones

I do intent on buying deltas myself, but there are surely people who only want the 10 pegs for £2-3.

To add to the OP, I've also found the type of hammer being used has an effect. I now use a broad faced claw hammer as both rubber, wooden mallets and mini 'mell' hammers made a mess of pegs

The Deltas are fine for the guy lines, but are they suitable for pegging down the tent? The Deltas wont fit through the eyelets of my Vango Tempest. I think a thinner peg is better suited for that?

Delta's are for guylines only.
