The product comes in three pieces: the head / Solar, a small plastic tube for lighting (really useless by the way), and the body in metal.
This is very convenient as my clay soil was very hard, and I was able to push the stake has sledgehammers or force without damaging the plastic head (which would have broken)
BIP every 30 seconds takes 3/4 seconds and is very slightly vibrate the metal body.
I ca not think would work but it worked!
