Have to put my first earth rod in and I am a bit worried about it, and I have some really basic questions
This clamp, the cable is squeezed between the clamp and rod ? i.e. no lug crimped on.

When banging in the rod, do I screw a coupler onto the rod, then a bolt into the coupler and hammer in

Difficult question to answer, but how long should a rod take to go into the ground. If I am still hammering away after half hour, is it time to give it up.
I have bought two rod types a thick on with screw thead 5/8
or a thinner one, which one goes into the ground better?
Any advice on banging this rod in will be great.
I plan to dig down to look for service pipes cable, whats the deepest they would realistically be buried
Many thanks
