The umgekröpfte head of herring tends to bend a little, but only in hard or stony ground, where they are driven by powerful hammer blows in the ground. However, they are also very durable and withstand high tensile forces of the guy lines through the wide area of their profile. Recommended especially in very windy conditions. I'm very satisfied and I would not hesitate to buy it again in combination with: 10T Tent Stake Set PEG IT 5DK-23SV, silver, 23 cm. These two pegs you are prepared for all cases at a very good price.
