Tent Peg Puller

err what happened to using the spare peg to pop all the others out?

Was it this little number????

I have a steel "hook" with a handle I had made up that serves as a peg puller as well as a fire stoker .. and a myriad of other uses. Lives in the box right next to my bush saw and spare blades : )

Spent half of the day there just getting ideas for storage systems, electrical setups an so on. Caught up with the ExplorOz group at 11 which was good to put faces to names. The show overall seemed a little quieter than previous years - maybe it needs to be over 40C!

The tent puller is simple & clever. There was another mob selling their version which was a rubber mallet with a cup hook screwed into the end of the handle (they were serious too).

A $6 Claw Hammer does the same job. They saw you coming LOL

Hi Jimbo
We brought one of them little gadgets about 12 months ago and if ever we lose it I will cry................makes life so much easier, it is brilliant.

Sorry I mssed you Jim, we were there from about 10.15 to about 1.30. We had to fly up to Mansfield to help out a friend. Had to have a laugh as we crossed over the bridge at bonnie doon there was a 60 series cruiser with its fron wheel buried under the mud somewhere, and a few guys standing there scratching their heads haha.

catch up soon.

congrats on your new purchase, we have a few peg pullers, they work a treat.

I have had one of these gadgets for about 5 years - brilliant. Jimbo is correct in that if the peg is hit into the ground all the way you cannot get a claw hammer under it. with this puller you can drive the lifting bit in under the pag and just lever it up. wouldn't leave home without it!

Was good to meet some of you there today. As Crazie says - good to put faces to names.

Tip from Wolfie.........

I carry a long handled shovel EVERYWHERE..... thanks Pesty.

Simply use an angle grinder to cut a 25 mm. long slot, 10 mm. wide, in the middle of the front end of the shovel.

Won't make a scrap of difference to digging, and you simply jamb the bugger under a peg, place a screwdriver under the bend in the peg, and prise upwards.

Now, how cool is that?????

Now, if you want the real Wolfie's bored, what can I make next toy, try making a cradle that fits to your hydraulic jack.

Not good enough???

Okay, for those of you blessed with winches on the front of your vehicles......................

We don't put up a tent often but when we do we place little "rings" of wire under the 'head' of the pegs to allow the claw hammer to grip to remove. The rings are similar to the little round circle things on your keys but much thicker and stronger.

Can't remenber where we got them but have had them for years.

A lot smaller than a new tool and I can fit about 20 in my pocket.

Hi Jimbo

I have an old claw hammer with a 6mm rod welded into the claw, protruding out about 20mm past the end. Hammer to knock em' in and a spike to lift em' out with a grip handle, throw it into the bag with the pegs and campings a breeze.

Cheers

But will it "work" on my 20inch sand pegs ?????

one day i happened to 'find' (on the side of road) one of those lifters that the Telstra men use to lift the lids off/on the road-side pits... works an absolute treat as a tent peg puller'outer!. ...it's not very long.. slides into back of car.. or in bag with tent poles.... don';t even kow it's there.... saves my back too (yes im only 24 but it's gooooone already!) and is great for a fire prodder and/or camp oven liftter!

Claw hammer works too, you can also use to put the pegs in the ground.

Get a bus!!!
