Common questions
How many tent stakes and rope hangers come with the SFNSM 10-piece ice anchor kit?
The SFNSM 10-piece ice anchor kit includes four ice fishing tent stakes and four solid rope hangers. It also has one anchor drill adapter and one drill bit adapter. The rope hangers are woven polypropylene rope that stays adjustable and locked, so the kit gives four tie-off points for a shelter.
How does the SFNSM 10-piece ice anchor kit differ from the 14-piece version?
The 14-piece SFNSM kit includes six tent stakes and six rope hangers, while this 10-piece kit has four of each. Both include one drill anchor adapter and one drill bit adapter with a 1/4-inch adapter head. The 14-piece package weighs 1.2 kg, heavier than the 0.88 kg of this 10-piece kit.
How do you use the SFNSM 10-piece ice anchor kit with a drill?
Insert the ice fishing tent peg into the ice anchor drill bit adapter, then connect an electric drill through the 1/4-inch adapter head. Start drilling the ice to set the anchor. Adjust the rope to the length needed to secure the tent, and the rope hanger holds it in place.
