tent peg pullers

There are a few things you can make yourself that makes little jobs around camp a whole lot easier like this handy tent peg puller. If you haven't got anything at home to make it from, try a long tent peg from the camping shop. The handle must be wide enough to fit your hand. The hook not bent too far so you can slip it into the pegs top at ground level.

Draw your intended shape onto the garage floor & use this as a template to bend the long peg in the vice with a hammer. Can't weld it yourself? Drop down to the local servo or muffler shop. They'll do it for you for a small fee.

Alan says, this one came with our camper, having been made up by the previous owner.  Specially made for the V shaped metal pegs and works very well with them. Thanks to Alan for the photo.

The Coleman WakJak is a mallet to drive pegs in & also has a very handy and easy to use mini impact hook that retracts into the handle. I've been camping for over 50 years now and this is the best little tool I've seen come on the market.   Barry Taylor
