With regards to those pesky plastic bits that don't tend to last long, when using 8/9mm diameter rock pegs (aka Hard ground pegs), consider googling something called "Baz Washers", or take a trip to your local industrial roofing/fastener trade counter..
As seen on the right...
A perfect push fit onto the peg (No sliding down/falling off).
Big enough to stop the guyline unhooking from the peg.
Soft rubber to avoid chafing the guyline.
I've no idea why these peg manufacturers don't fit these as standard, as they work perfectly for me (and certainly better than the plastic hook things, even without the breakage problem!)
*Claw hammer will need to go under the peg head/above the washer, for extraction, and depending on the claw hammer, you may need to get a grinder on the slot, but that's because of the thick peg diameter, and not affected by the washer.
EDIT:
Just checked... That photo was added to my Photo library 5 years and 3 weeks ago. Let's say that's when I started using them.
I haven't lost one, broken one, dented one, or had any stolen! That's 2 boxes x 20 pegs!
Not one of the 40 have been replaced!
I occasionally use Delta Pegs for main guys, but these hard ground pegs get used somewhere, on virtually every camping trip. My trips are recorded below.
I doubt there's a plastic peg-top anywhere in the land that has lasted as well!
