I've used PeggyPegs, both plastic and steel and different lengths, for nearly ten years ...

On all types of ground ... drill in and out.

Find them marvellous ... would recommend.

Thanks for that Pixie Hex, what size of adaptor will I need to fit the coach screw heads?

My drill is a Guild cordless,Argos own brand now been in use 4 years but never needed to use it on hammer function and we always use hard standing pitches.

Out of curiosity I looked on my drill yesterday as I couldn't remember the brand or where I got it from. I have had it quite a few years now. Turns out that was an Argos own-brand too. Mine has been used for all sorts including hammer, but I don't use it on hammer to drive pegs in. We never use hard standing if we can help it. The only time we did was when we went on a small independent site in Oxfordshire and there all the caravan pitches were hard standing. We didn't know until we got there.

I bought a set of Blue Diamond screw-in pegs for use on hardstanding pitches, and a better drill with hammer action, as my cheapo Lidl drill does not have that and I struggled to get the pegs into the ground.

Need a 13mm drill adaptor too for the pegs.

The hammer action will be pushing the screws through any 'threads' they are creating in the hard ground. Essentially hammering them in, potentially damaging the screw threads, and weakening the grip. They are designed to screw-only.

Spot on .... and technically, the screw heads, the screw tips and the 13mm adaptor are NOT intended for hammer action, they will suffer (proper percussion action parts are heavier duty)! Hammer action is intended for use with SPECIFIC drill bits and causes the TIP of the BIT to fracture hard material, more like a hammer and chisel, and allow it to pass through. Use of Hammer action completely misunderstood in this application, it's on a par with hammering in screws, it negates the real benefits of a screw!
