You’re probably thinking “Care” for a Bush Peg!
BUSH PEGS™ are made from steel, and when you belt the crap out of them with a large hammer the steel knobhead will eventually “mushroom”, much like a cold chisel after prolonged use.
This “mushrooming” causes sharp edges that can easily cut skin. Also eye injury may result if metal shards fly off.
This can be easily averted by simply cleaning up the burred edges every now and then with an angle grinder or a file. The point or vertex may also become burred from penetrating hard ground and may need a touch up, this will also aid in ground penetration.
If you belt any treated metal object with a hammer, the coating whether galvanised, painted or in the BUSH PEGS™ case powder coat will wear off. This will ultimately lead to surface rust on your BUSH PEG™. From time to time simply give the BUSH PEG™ a light sand and touch up with X15 paint (available in pots or spray cans).
