GroundGrabba Pro is a 12-inch screw-in ground anchor made in the USA for average to hard ground. Its heat-treated, galvanized carbon-steel construction uses a 5/8-inch hex head for deployment with a suitable high-torque battery drill or impact wrench. GroundGrabba warns users to check for underground services and use the product only for ground anchoring.

Misuse or abuse of GroundGrabba products can lead to injury or worse to the user or bystanders.
Not to be used with mains powered drills.
When using battery drills please refer to the drill manufacturers warnings and safety instructions prior to use with GroundGrabba products.
Only use GroundGrabba products for their intended purpose of ground anchoring things such as tents and shade canopies.
Always hold your drill firmly with both hands and use the inside of your legs as a drill guide with the drill handle in between your legs to help prevent torque twisting wrist or other injury.
Always start your drill on the lowest torque setting.
Use a good quality high torque drill or impact wrench.
For hard or extremely hard grounds we recommend pre drilling a minimum of a 1/2" pilot hole to help with insertion.
Some grounds will be impenetrable.

SCREW-IN GROUND ANCHORS
The screw-in ground anchor, invented in the Australian outback. Set up faster, hold ground harder.
GroundGrabba came out of an Australian camping problem: David Levine spent fifteen minutes per stake yanking 3-foot rebar out of the desert at Burning Man. So he and his partner Susan Sparkes-Young built the alternative — a screw-in ground anchor you drive in with a cordless drill. Founded on the east coast of Australia and now shipping worldwide, GroundGrabba anchors hold tents, canopies, and shelters down in sand, soft ground, and conditions where standard stakes give up.

Screw-in ground anchors driven with a cordless drill
Built for sand, soft ground, and high-wind conditions

About this product
Which GroundGrabba do I need for my ground?
Match the anchor to the substrate, not to the price. The Lite is glass-reinforced nylon for sand, dunes and beach. The Junior at 11 inches handles medium to harder ground. The Pro at 12 inches covers average to hard ground. The Pro I at 18 inches and Pro II at 24 inches are for soft, loose and sandy substrates where a short stake has nothing to bite. Longer is not stronger — it is for looser ground.
Do I need a drill?
A cordless drill and the matching hex driver is the fast way in and out — 5/8 inch for the Pro, Pro I and Pro II, 3/4 inch for the Junior. You can turn them by hand with a socket wrench in a pinch, but the whole design assumes a drill. In genuinely hard or rocky ground you will also want the masonry bit to pre-drill a pilot hole.
How much better are these than hammer-in stakes?
GroundGrabba rates the screw-in design at up to three times the holding power of a conventional hammer-in stake. The thread grips along its full length rather than relying on friction against a smooth shaft, which is why they hold in sand and loose soil where a standard stake pulls straight out under wind load.
Will they come back out?
Reverse the drill and they back out the way they went in. That is the practical advantage over a driven stake you have to lever or dig out — and why they survive repeated trips instead of bending on the third use.
Shopping with SRO
How long does shipping take?
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.
Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.
Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.
Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.

Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.
