Let’s face it, tools and materials are expensive. Any business that knows how to run a balance sheet realizes to be profitable, you have to keep you costs low. With snow stakes, the easiest way to keep replacement costs down, is to retain your stakes season after season. Having the highest quality stakes with caps can help with being able to reuse your stakes. So do my driveway markers need a cap?
The simplest way to do this is to avoid breakage. Fiberglass snow stakes have, well, fibers. Our Armortech Cap protects these fibers during the installation process. You should always use a rubber mallet during installation. This will help the stakes bounce a little more and not tear the tops of the stakes into pieces.
If you invest over $1000 per year in your driveway markers, we recommend ordering stakes with cap. The damage rate is high enough, that it actually costs significantly more money to keep ordering replacement stakes due to stake fraying.
Overall, the stakes without caps can still hold up if you use the install tool or have a surgeons touch! The high quality fiberglass will last even without the cap if you treat it properly.
