I'm on to "loop 3" as Steve would call it and I decided the most work of this is pounding the stakes. I use crossed rebars 18 or 20 inches. Anyway, I got to thinking there's got to be a cordless power tool that I could use to pound the stakes instead of just whamming away with my big ol' hammer. Anyone have an idea?

Is that a cable stake? I've tried them, didn't like them. I never lost any animals but I don't like leaving the cables and the effort it takes to remove them plus the extra tools needed to install them and all that kept me coming back to rebar.

possum, use berkshires-
I'm like you- I don't like cutting cables (more I don't like remaking stakes) so we pull 99% of ours.
quick, simple easy to put in- no special tools needed- all you need is a rebar with a point
quick, simple and easy to pull out- we tood a iron ring (as the stop) and looped a cable through it. We put that cable through the bottom swivel, insert the end of a pickaxe into the loop, and using a block of wood as a fulcrum, pull the stake in less time and effort than it took to write this.
many are bent, but it takes axsec with a pliers and the end of the tailgate, to bend them back and in a decade or more of reusing them, I NEVER lost a coyote from putitng a reused anchor into the ground. Some do break but if they do, its long before you put them BACK into the ground. In my ground, 80% or more can be set without pilot holes.
I've tried others, but have decided there isn't really anything I dislike enough about the berkshires, to change to special drivers, etc
