Hammering stakes into the ground is frustrating. They bend. They come loose. And they don’t hold up when the weather changes.
Ground Grabba® anchors skip the hammer. Just clip a socket to your drill, pull the trigger, and watch the screw bite into the soil, and in seconds, it’s locked in the ground.
The video above shows exactly how it works. Let’s go step by step through what these soil anchor screws are, how to install them, and where they’ll save you time in the yard or on the job.
What Are GroundGrabba Anchors?
Ground Grabba anchors are screw-style ground stakes designed to replace hammered-in spikes or rebar. Instead of brute force, you use the torque of a drill to drive them in.
-
Available in multiple lengths and strengths: Junior, Pro I, Pro II, and Commercial sizes.
-
Made from galvanized steel for durability and rust resistance.
-
Designed with an auger profile so they cut into soil, clay, or sand with minimal effort.
What You’ll Need
-
Cordless drill (18–20V or higher). A drill with torque control or an electronic clutch is ideal.
-
5/8‑inch hex socket or hex driver
How to Install Them
Here’s the beauty of GroundGrabba: you don’t need a pilot hole in most soils.
-
Position the anchor where you want it.
-
Insert the hex driver or socket into your drill.
-
Drive the Ground Grabba straight down until the helix is fully buried.
-
Attach your edging, ropes, or hardware to the anchor’s head.
Tip: In rocky ground, pre-drill with a Power Planter auger for an easier start.
Common Uses Around the Yard and Beyond
Because they’re designed to hold tight under pressure, Ground Grabbas can secure just about anything outdoors:
-
Landscape edging and pavers – like in the demo video.
-
Tarps and canopies – holds against wind better than stakes.
-
Garden arches, trellises, or arbors – keeps vertical structures stable.
-
Pet tie-outs – part of the Grounded Paws Dog Tie Down Kit.
-
Fencing and netting – deer fencing, chicken runs, or temporary barriers.
-
Event setups – tents, stages, or signage that can’t risk tipping.
Tips for Tough Soil & Safety
-
For rocky or compacted soil, pre-drill a starter hole with an auger.
-
Always check for buried utilities before driving anchors—call 811 if in the U.S.
-
Use a drill with torque control or an E-Clutch system to protect your wrists.
-
Don’t over-tighten; once the helix is buried, the anchor is locked.
Ground Grabba anchors give you a reliable way to lock down projects without hammering, bending, or pulling loose stakes. With a drill in hand, you’ll have a secure setup in minutes.
