I remember a very vulgar version of that song in high school.

Feels like I hit a rock. I’ll just give it a few whacks with the sledge.

Not here I can spend 30 minutes trying to drive a ground rod and generally bend
them up before I get them as deep as I had planned

Yeah, until you hit a rock. In moist dirt you can even lean on them and put
them in by hand without any water.

An electrician once showed me how to install ground rods using nothing but a
cup of water... not the fastest way, but it did work.

For installing ground rods. Never much of a problem. Hold the rod with
one hand and hammer with the other.
Don’t miss.

I've got a hydraulic ground rod driver... I think I ended up getting 2
of them for $300 at auction. We already have a hydraulic power pack for other
things...so it works well. It's also specifically for ground rods, not a
rotary drill with an attachment.

Dewalt has a battery operated model. Their HEPA vac models are pretty
cool too. We have a smaller Makita, but if I was going to buy today, it'd be
Dewalt.
