Yes, a stake is a stake--but these have better than expected quality, and a neat feature. For the quality, I note that all the edges are manufactured cleanly, even around the spiral. Also the orange paint is thick and smooth.
But the neat feature--you unscrew the top "circle" and use the special nut driver provided, with your power hand drill, and it drives the spiral stake quickly into the ground (our ground is fairly hard, and each stake was in before I could release the trigger on the drill!) Of course, rockier soil could slow you down, but it is a well designed stake and tool.
We are using them to to hold down rain chains in a windy spot, so I am impressed with their holding capability, but I can't comment on different uses.

Dislike this product, went camping and this tent was a nightmare, the video said 4 minute set up, not true, Bad instructions, break down was worse, ended up throwing away the tent in the trash!!!!

Got this with plans to try it out before Philmont next summer; used at scout weekend camping last week. Loved how tiedowns were reflective cord! It was new in the bag and I wish I'd have taken it out of the bag to let it off gas a day or two first, but not intolerable. First night: I was iffy on it. Rained so the 'roof' was damp on the inside, seemed awfully short with my (thick) inflatable air mattress. Second night: got smart enough to loosen the tie downs and extend my hiking stick more. MUCH better. Also discovered that if (it's not raining and) you toss the rain fly back over the top of the tent, and adjust the location of the tiedown outside the door so it's more out of the way, it worked much better. I faced my door away from the scouts so I could sit up, and lean out the open door a bit when getting dressed, that worked better. With thick (5") mattress and maybe not extending hiking stick as far as possible, it was hard to sit up in bed and touch toes without hitting the top of tent... so if using it somewhere that rained a lot, that would be tedious to be trying to avoid touching the damp top of the tent and I'd probably try the 2-hiking-pole model. Next time I will think to put my foam sit pad outside the tent door to kneel on. Also liked that it had enough room next to me for my pack, but also plenty of room in vestibule for pack and then some. All in all - well worth the $.

Editing: from 1 to 3 stars because they sent me a replacement for the other camo hammock. Great customer service. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet but my partner has this one and loves it.

I bought this for a camping weekend. In the middle of the night the hammock flipped over on me and I got stuck and had to yell for help to get out. So that was a sight to see at 1 in the morning! Then it collapsed and slid down the tree because the carabiners were very cheap and snapped in half. It does double as a ground tent bivvy so at least I was able to finish out my night. Possibly user error with setting up - there were zero instructions included, but I did try to follow a video I found. I didn’t want to risk this happening again so I returned it the next day. It was kind of a disaster.
