Abstract

See full text

Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to a stake that is twisted into and out of the ground via an adaptor. The adaptor adapts the stake to a power drill, allowing the power drill to twist the stake into and out of the ground by activating the drill. The adaptor is designed to fit a standard drill chuck at one end. At the other end, the adaptor has a fitting to receive the stake. The fitting is such that the stake and adaptor are axially locked so that the stake and adaptor rotate in unison when the drill is activated. The stake is a wire designed in a coil shape with a pilot. The pilot is fit into the adaptor which axially locks the stake with the adaptor.
