Ground rod driving tool

摘要

A ground rod driving tool and method of use is presently disclosed. The ground tool comprises a longitudinally extending first component part having a sleeve extending from a first longitudinal end configured to receive a portion of a ground rod, a ground rod stop, and a male coupler extending from a second longitudinal end. A longitudinally extending second component part has a female coupler in a first longitudinal end thereof configured to closely receive an end portion of a ground rod. The first component part and the second component part are configured to couple and uncouple with each other, with the male and female couplers, and have their longitudinal axes aligned upon coupling. A method of driving a ground rod into the ground is also provided herein.

1. A ground rod driving tool comprising:
a longitudinally extending first component part comprising a sleeve configured to closely receive a portion of a ground rod, a ground rod stop, and a male coupler extending from a longitudinal end of the sleeve; a longitudinally extending second component part having a female coupler in a first longitudinal end thereof configured to closely receive an end portion of a ground rod; the first component part and the second component part being configured to couple and uncouple directly with each other, with the male and female couplers, and have their longitudinal axes aligned upon coupling; the coupled first and second component parts having a mass sufficient to drive a ground rod into the ground by sliding the sleeve about the ground rod and impinging the ground rod stop; the second component part being configured to transfer a driving force from a hammer impinging a second longitudinal end thereof, to a ground rod and drive the ground rod into the ground; and wherein the first longitudinal end of the second component part is chamfered.
