I got this as a Christmas gift and finally had a chance to get out to the Black Rock desert and test it out on the playa. I used it for pulling out concrete form stakes and for pulling 24" lengths of 3/8" rebar. The stake puller was outstanding on the form stakes. We had put up a large two pole Army surplus tent, and anchored it with form stakes. Extracting all but one of the stakes took only slightly longer than the time it took to walk around the tent. The stakes popped out of the playa like magic. One stake was driven deep, and at a steep angle, and took several trys to get out, but it came out too.

My previous method of removing stakes was with a vise-grips, or channel-locks and was very labor intensive. This is so much better.

I also tried the puller on small rebar tent stakes. While it worked, the puller did bend the stakes around a bit. It should be noted though, that 3/8" rebar is much smaller than the minimum recommended diameter for the tool. When you're using the tool in a manner its not designed for, you should expect odd things to happen.

Overall, I think this is a great tool, especially when used within its design limitations. Its the sort of tool I wish I'd have had years ago. Its also a sure bet to make you the most popular person in camp when its time to pack up and go home.

We loved this stake puller until the gripping edges lost their bite and started slipping on the smooth stakes we were using to support our structures at Burning Man. The pivoting gripping piece should be made of harder metal. That would have made this one a 5 star tool.

Works great with Re-Bar, but the form stakes we use gave it problems.

Took this to Black Rock City in 2007. I used it to pull up 3' concrete stakes and 2' rebar stakes. I don't recall the diameter of those concrete stakes, but they were just a hair to thin. The rebar was definitely too thin. The stake puller worked on the test run at home (in my grass backyard) but kept slipping out on the playa. However, I wedged a screwdriver between the puller and the stake (to effectively increase the stake diameter) and it worked like a champ!

Would I buy this again? Yes (there is no way I'd want to pull out stakes driven almost the full 3 feet into the playa), but it would be nice if the fitting was smaller to work with more narrow stakes.
