I know I've read of the 3-spike plates used for tiedowns @ Oshkosh.
Does someone sell same? A friend is putting up a tent/outbuilding,

Nutin holds like those augers. Get a longer lever and take a beer
break halfway through if you need to. For the cost of one of those
fancy 3 spike thingys he can buy all the augers he needs at the local
farm store.

The augers are worthless in hard ground. Here in the west they wouldn't
go an inch into the ground. The Claw is the best I've found.
