Abstract

A tool for use with a hammer driver having a pin-accepting socket for driving a ground rod into the ground includes a body having two opposite side faces and at least one ground rod-accepting passageway extending between the two side faces. The tool also includes a guide pin which is joined to so as to extend from one of the side faces of the body and an elongated socket portion having first and second opposite ends and having a hollow interior which opens out of a first end of the socket portion. In addition, the socket portion is secured to the other side face of the body by way of the second end so that the first end extends away from the other side face of the body, and the guide pin and the elongated socket portion are axially-aligned with one another.
