SwissPiranha says:
Engineered in Switzerland and made of high-performance PiranhaNT, these tent stakes from SwissPiranha offer many serious advantages compared to conventional pegs: ultra-lightweight, shock-resistant, and super-safe.
The pointed shape allows easy driving into the ground, while the x-beam profile shaft with rugged saw teeth penetrates and holds in a wide range of soil conditions. The flat head maximizes strength and holding power in all conditions by compressing the soil underneath. In addition, its flat and soft-edged design limits fall and the risk of serious injuries. Notches inside the head can be used for attaching the guy lines in different ways and ensure best anchoring – even in heavy wind. SwissPiranha stakes do not twist and can be driven straight into the ground by using a foot, a hammer, back of an axe or a stone. They are no sharp edges that could damage the tent fabric.
Environmentalists can lie back and relax: Production and recycling of SwissPiranha tent pegs require at least 13 times less energy than aluminium stakes. In addition, a bent SwissPiranha peg can be easily returned to its original shape by adding it to the oven for 5 minutes at 160°C. Old pegs can be recycled. Cleaning is quite easy as they can even be cleaned in the dishwasher. In any case, SwissPiranha pegs are great lightweight, all-purpose tent stakes.v
