Perfect for the job Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
These arrived well-packed, and quickly. The staples are a good length and have pointed ends to make inserting them into the ground easier. I can't imagine anything working better.

Just Right Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
These things look to be just what the doctor ordered. I purchased the product in anticipation of putting up a new vertical when the weather improves. This should make the installation a snap. I can't imagine making my own staples after seeing these. Great product!!

Super fast service, great product! Time Owned: N.A.
Little too cold and too much snow to use them yet, but agree that they are high in quality, very unobtrusive, and should do the trick. Appreciate the great communications with Ross, makes you feel like a very valued customer. Also appreciate the extra bonus bag for Christmas. Merry Christmas, Ross, and thanx!

Cheaper than DIY!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Ordered just a few days ago and just got them. First off, the communication with Ross was great. I got an order confirmation e-mail AND a shipping confirmation e-mail.

The package arrived well wrapped and with a very nice set of instructions and a hand written card from Ross. Class act all the way.

The staples themselves are perfect. The exact size needed, and of a material which should be perfect. There is a lot of snow on the ground, but I have been able to walk to the yard and drop a few "practice" staples. No problems whatsoever.

And as a "do it yourself" kind of guy, I have been toying with how exactly to build these. Between buying the wire and making them, it was becoming a daunting project. I cannot believe the quantity, quality, and speed with which I got these staples, and at such a cheap price. A+++

Super! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After reading NZ0T's review and having to put some radials down I decided to give them a shot. I ordered them yesterday and BOOM! Here they are TODAY! The staples are made out of wire steel about the size of a typical paper clip, but it is very strong steel. There are very difficult to bend even if you are trying to bend them. I haven't used them yet but it isn't hard to see that they will work great. For the money it doesn't pay to cut and bend your own staples. Also, check out the article on his web site about ground radials. Good info. TNX OM for the quick ship and nice product. Hell, he even sent me a QSL card in the box! Good deal

Great product! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just got a couple of bags of these pins and this is a great product. I used to make pins from wire coat hangers and it was a pain plus they didn't work all that great. I just was outside and pinned down a 60' radial in about 7 minutes using these Ross pins. They work great! Plus the service was fast, friendly and low priced. I highly recommend these for radial placement.

Good Stuff!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
ordered bunch to go with new S9 43 ft vertical.
Given condition of ground, wife's oversight, I went for overkill, one staple about every foot. Great price, service/shipping. Ran a flat bladed screwdriver through grass to get to dirt... this was after 3 day ND blizzard, 60 mph, 5 inches snow. After snow melted, lawn was packed down.
Looks good - sure beats digging/burying.
eager to see wife's happiness come Spring.
Thanks guys, good product

Some thing are so simple, yet do so much! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.

I have always cut my own staples from whatever stiff wire I could find. This made for many days with sore hands and a certain knowledge that there has to be a better way. There just has to be!

Here it is! WOO-HOO!

Sorry for my excitement, but anybody who have ever had to cut and bend 100 radial staples from stiff wire knows my pain.

These are inexpensive, were shipped very fast (2 days, his door to mine) and are a true time and hand saver.

Thanks Ross! You "DA MAN"!

These are the ones that really work Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Placed my order after an email to Ross which he answered right away. Received the order today and I just finished installing the staples on my 44 ground radials. These are the right diameter, they go in the ground very easy and I did not need a hammer to tap them in, like others I have used. Everyone else here has pretty much said everything I would of, SO I WILL JUST SECOND IT, lol. Thanks Ross for a great product.
