These stakes are hard almuminum, and take hammer hits well. Pulling out of most soils was easy enough. Their shape provides good holding power and easy removal. Where they fall short of Ground Hogs, is their bending point. Wall thickness is thinner, and they will bend even when driven up to their necks. To give the stakes credit, I was loading them very heavily; far more than I could have loaded wire stakes, and others.
Overall, I like them. For only $7 I had to give them a try. I am a recreational camper who doesn't need ultra-reliable stakes, and these were actually pretty good. Probably a good purchase for campers who don't really need eight Ground Hogs (like me).
Those who travel all over, and need reliable stakes to pound into concrete will need Ground Hogs, but for those who need good stakes for regular dirt, these work well.
P.S. I straightened my 2 bent stakes, and they will hold pretty much anything I tie on them. Just not the ridiculous load that originally bent them.

I picked these up as an alternative to MSR Groundhogs or Sierra Designs Y-Stakes.
One things I really like about these is that they are long 9" length. My Sierra Design Y-Stakes are only about 6".
After reviewing them, they are all about the same strength. Extremely hard to bend by hand(even my giant hands- I'm 6'4 300+lbs). All the brands performed the same, great. And miles better then the provided stakes with my Kelty Gunnison 4.1.
Is any brand better than the other? Not really. They are made in different lengths by the different brands but that's about it. So pick the length that works for you. Oh, some include a paracord like loop, some don't. Whether that helps your case or not is up to you to decide. Some say it helps when you're pulling them out of the ground.
If you don't want to deal with the y-shape(attaching to the tent is sometimes tricky or frustrating) I would suggest looking at Sierra Design's Hex-Peg stakes or Kelty Nobendium Stakes. The Sierra Design stakes are a bit stronger than the Kelty stakes as I stated in my other reviews.

I have both the MSR Ground Hog stakes, and these. These stakes are essentially the same thing, and are a fraction of the price.
