Default ground rod drivers

Need to install some ground rods, is there a hammer drill adapter tool
for this? really hate the sledge routine.


I use four 2ft lengths of 3/4" galvanized pipe connected with couplings. Put a
coupling on the top, and screw a pipe plug into it. Put it over the ground rod
&7 drive it until the pipe touches the ground. Unscrew a section of pipe & keep
driving. Continue until the last section of pipe touches the ground, and finish
with a sledge.
