What are the benefits of using a peg hammer, which is needed as an outdoor item? I would like to introduce the necessity and the benefits of using it.

The merit is that it is easy to peg and pull out!

With a peg hammer, you can hit the ground with very little force and you can quickly assemble your tent. Even when folding the tent, you can easily pull out the pegs by using the peg hammer. Let's spend the camp more meaningfully without spending time pegging and pegging.

Points on how to choose a peg hammer

With the function that suits you

We asked SAM, a camp blogger, to tell us three points when choosing a peg hammer. The peg hammer is indispensable for setting up a tent, but what should you choose based on?

Camping tools

Camping, such as setting up a tent, is smooth if you have special tools. Let's choose the product that suits you while holding down the points to choose.

What should be emphasized is whether the burden can be reduced

Hammers don't make the camp gorgeous, they are just behind the scenes. Therefore, it can be said that the basic item should be practical.

When you hit the peg into the ground, the impact and load are applied to your body, so the key to choosing a product is how to reduce that burden.

The price range of such models tends to be a little high, but if you buy it with all your might, choose it as an investment to ensure safety.

Decide the type and number according to your taste

Although the peg hammer is a behind-the-scenes tool, it also has the joy of owning what you like.

You will be able to use it with more attachment by choosing it according to your taste such as appearance and manufacturer while ensuring practicality and reliability as much as possible.

Furthermore, there is no need to narrow it down to just one. There is also the option of having more than one as a spare or considering working with multiple people at the same time.

Check the shape of the peg

The peg hammer not only drives the peg but also pulls out the peg at the time of withdrawal or re-strike.

Since peg pulling is harder than hitting, it is also a good condition for a hammer to have an excellent pulling function so that the burden can be reduced.

When choosing a product, be sure to choose one that has the two functions of hitting and pulling out in a well-balanced manner.

A feeling of size and weight is also important

In addition to the peg hammer, you will also carry a tent and seat with you, so if it is as light and compact as possible, it will be easier to move.

Light peg hammers come in a wide variety from 300 to 700g. Please choose not only the weight but also the size and the fullness of functions.

With a head material that is easy to drive

The most important thing in a peg hammer is the material of the head. It is recommended that the peg hammer is made of steel or another type that can be pushed in firmly with your strength. Please choose while checking the price range.

Metal/steel for beginners

Metal, copper, and steel have a heavy peg hammer itself, so it is relatively easy to drive. It is durable and will last a long time.

Copper ones are shock-resistant, so they cushion the shock and reduce the strain on your hands. Copper requires maintenance, but unless you're a camper, you won't mind.

Affordable and simple [rubber]

I want to use the rubber peg hammer only once or for the time being! Recommended for those who say. It comes with it as an accessory, so you can easily get it.

Durability tends to be slightly weaker than those made of metal. However, because it is made of rubber, you can rest assured that it will be used by your child.

If in doubt, choose a product from a popular manufacturer

Peg hammers are available from a variety of manufacturers, and beginners and beginners may be wondering which one to buy.

When in doubt, it's safe to choose the major manufacturers Snow Peak, Coleman, and Montbell. In addition to that, let's check the reviews.

Advice from outdoor lighters
