Erico615840UPC Ground Rod

I found this grounding rod after a three hour search marathon on Amazon's Search Engine. It paid off though as I found this Erico grounding rod. It came in about 7-10 days just as the seller said it would. I was worried it wouldn't be made of real copper or it would just be a flimsy hollow copper piping.It came in and I was so impressed and happy with it that I wish I could give it 6 stars. This grounding rod seems to be all copper, it definitely has alot of weight to it! It is sized exactly as described. Both ends were pointed and I drove it into the ground using my hammer. It was not hard to do so. I attached the connector that was paired with it by Amazon, and it worked well, I ran 8 Gauge wire to it and clamped it down. I am using it as a grounding rod for my solar panel and batteries system.It really just feels perfectly right. My system is properly earthed, and the pricing on this ground rod was very good. I can't recommend this item highly enough. Definitely buy it. I will get myself another one just to have it around. Just in case they decide to stop making them!

Exactly as described. It is a STEEL ROD with VERY THICK copper plating! Copper alone is way to soft for a ground rod that has to be DRIVEN into the ground. ERICO does manufacture the best products to exacting standards. Great value for the cost!

It is not 100% copper. You couldn’t drive into the ground if it was so not upset about it. It has a nice thick copper exterior. Very satisfied.

I pounded this into the ground and attached a copper wire, ran inside my home, connected to copper mesh and know I ground/ earth while working at the computer and also while sleeping.

My yard has lots rocks just beneath the the surface. This makes it hard to drive a ground rod in. This rod is steel and has a pointed tip which allowed it to be driven the full length. Plus it has a very hard plate of copper on the surface ans surface conductivity is what counts for electricity. I used a heavy post driver to pound it in, and then finished off with a 3-pound sledge hammer. Its true that it is only 4 feet long, but according to my ham radio books, another rod driven in at 4 feet distance away should pretty well equal a single 8 foot rod.

The listing says a copper rod. The additional information does nothing to dispel that statement. It is not a copper rod. It is a copper clad steel rod. Big difference.

This is not a copper rod. It is a copper clad rod. This may serve your purpose but the other reviews that imply this is a full copper rod are mistaken or wrong. This is a steel core copper bonded ground rod. I'm still OK with my purchase as I expected this was the item I purchased. It was delivered as expected and seems to be of decent quality for a ground rod.

Worked perfect for my needs.
