This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. I'm 61 and get tired easily and don't have as much strength as I had just five years ago due to an unexpected health issue and so working outside can be challenging. I have to take breaks, etc., you get the idea. I ordered one just to try it out. It worked perfectly and the broken fence was fixed with very little effort and I absolutely could not believe that I did it. I had never fixed a fence before so I'm still very impressed with myself for doing it, but I couldn't have done it without the ground screw.I ordered two more to make another short fence to block an ugly area in the yard. I just finished installing the first ground screw and it went in absolutely perfectly. You just have to make sure that you get it in as straight as you can as you are screwing it into the ground. It will be a little cockeyed at first but you can push or pull as needed to straighten it if you're not that far into the ground.This little item is the most wonderful thing for someone who just cannot dig a two foot hole and then fill it with concrete. It's packaged very well, with a little plastic protective cap to cover the point on the ground screw as well as the short piece of rebar needed to screw it in as you get deeper into the ground. It comes with the bolts needed to secure the ground screw to the 4x4.It's made in China so be prepared for that. After using first one I went to Home Depot to see if they had any in stock there. They did, but a different brand. I bought two of them (they were more expensive) and tried to use them but could not get the end of the 4x4 into the opening. They also were not powder coated and did not come with the bolts. I returned them.I just love these little ground screws. They are a dove grey color, powder coated and have no rough edges at all. I think anybody any age could use these. They are that easy.

Mail box 4x4 post set in concrete for over 20 years rotted out at the base. Ordered this for quick and simple fix, was thinking I would screw into the ground a foot over. I tried screwing it into the original hole with the old post still enclosed with concrete and it seemed to go in and bite fairly tight. So I went with it that way. It took maybe 45 minutes at the most. It's definitely not as sturdy as a new post set in concrete, but it's only for a suburban residential mail box. Hoping it might get me by 3 or 4 years before I need to do it right.

This works great . Great quality and the chrome rebar was so easy to use to put this in ground

Easy to install. Comes w it’s a metal rod to help you turn it into the ground. We used a sturdier screw then what was in the box.

1.) Buy your own lag bolts. The ones included are crap and will strip out almost immediately.2.) They won't likely go in level no matter how hard you try. Not a big deal. Make the post level before screwing it to the anchor. This is nice since you can just eyeball the screw as you screw it in and it's faster this way.3.) These fit standard 4x4s but not cedar posts since those are nominally sized up. I had to trim the cedar posts to get them to fit. This is a drawback, but eh, what can you do.4.) I used a sacrificial 3 foot section of 4x4 with a hole drilled all the way through and used a longer piece of rebar to screw these posts in. This has the benefit of allowing one to drill these in from a more comfortable upright body position, plus you can get the base of the anchor flush with the ground. The extra 2-3" of depth makes them more sturdy than if you used the built in hole to screw them in.Overall, pretty sturdy so far. We will see how they do with frost heave since they don't penetrate the frost layer in Denver (2 feet). Definitely easy to install once you have a system down. Big drawback is cost.

I don't usually write reviews, but I am this time because reviews from others helped me when installing this anchor, so I wanted to "pass it on". After procrastinating for quite some time, I finally decided it was time to install a new mailbox post. Given all the COVID-19 mess and everyone working from home, I finally had some time. I chose this Mayne no dig anchor screw because I read it is sturdy. I didn't like the idea of pouring cement because in the winter when snow plows come by, it can snap the wood post, which is why I needed a new mailbox post in the first place.After preparing all the needed supplies (4x4 wood post, post sleeve, mailbox, etc.), my biggest apprehension was with installing the anchor screw. Will it go in easy or will it give me all kinds of problems like some of the other reviewers? We all know that with home repairs, nothing goes smooth or as planned. Our dirt is very dried out, packed and contains rocks/gravel, so I was expecting the worst. To help my chances, I did wait until after serious rain and downpour overnight (to soften the ground) before I started. I don't know how much the rain was responsible, but to my pleasant surprise, the anchor installation was very smooth and it was all the way in the ground in about 15-20 minutes. It does take a little bit of muscle, but the included 24 inch rebar was plenty strong enough to screw in the anchor. In order to screw in the last few inches, I did use the 4x4 wood post (laid horizontally to the ground and laying inside the anchor bracket) to turn with leverage. Using this approach, I was able to get the anchor all the way down into the ground.Lastly, I would not bother trying to level and plumb the anchor as you screw into the ground. It will be impossible to get it level as the ground will dictate how straight or crooked it goes in. I did eyeball it though to screw into the ground as level as possible. I found it to be far easier and practical to level everything when attaching the 4x4 would post to the anchor at the base with the included bolts.Overall, the installation process was smoother and faster than I was fearing. The weather was oppressively hot and humid, so that slowed me down a bit. If you read all the reviews to understand best approach, the whole process shouldn't take more than 30 minutes max. Hope this write-up is helpful.

I used two of these to set steel upright columns in place for an outdoor entertaining area. Worked brilliantly and saved digging and setting stirrups in concrete.

I was a little skeptical but it worked great. Fairly easy to install and surprisingly solid when all the way down. Much easier to keep straight than using ground spikes. Mine was used to reinstall a 4†hanging sign post.

Used this to anchor a gazebo. Had to use a sledgehammer on 3 out of 4 to help. They are very good anchors but had to cut some of the top off after putting a 2x4 to attach the gazebo leg to.

Used to mount a 4x4 sign post into a rock garden in our front yard. Worked perfect other than there weren’t any lag screws in the box.
