 Coleman 12-Inch Metal Tent Stakes (4-Pack) By: Coleman Average Rating: 1.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Avoid!  On: 2006-05-22Just bought these a few weeks ago (12 stakes total - 3 sets) for a trip to Joshua Tree, CA. Just returned, in the semi-hard desert sand ALL of them started bending when tapped in (using rubber mallet first, then hammer). 8 of them bent 90 degrees at the head. Ended up using the smaller, standard stakes that came with the tent. Very disappointed, as the standard stakes with the plastic tops snap easily as well, but at least the metal parts remain straight and still usable. Avoid!
