"When working in heavy underbrush, instead of trying to find a
30" stake stuck in the ground, you can bend the shaft of a Quik Stake into a
hook and hang it on a tree branch over a traverse point. This makes it easy
to find that point after lunch or at the start of the next day. The weight
allows it to move slightly in a wind making it even easier to find. No more
looking for that 6" hole thru the brush. By adding a piggyback turned 90
degrees, it is easier to find from other setups."

"We are very happy with Quik Stakes and primarily use them for
temporary lot corners for water and sewer layout. They are
much easier to use and less costly than wood stakes. They
are also just as visible as wood stakes in an open area.
I am a one man survey crew using robotics and GPS. With the
GPS backpack on, there is no way to carry the stake bag.
Therefore, in the past I had to put in pin flags then go back with
wood stakes. Because Quik Stakes are much lighter and less
cumbersome, I am able to carry all of my equipment and plenty of
Quik Stakes, which essentially saves time and money."

"I was working with a surveyor on a large development project
recently and he provided me with a bundle of your Quik Stake to
field flag our backhoe test pigs. I found the Quik Stakes to
be very useful and practical. They provide a better surface
to write Field ID#'s than ordinary pin flags and were also more
portable than wooden stakes."

"We use Quik Stakes every day and are very pleased with their performance.
Quik Stakes are far easier to write in, as opposed to a wooden
stake.
Quik Stakes are much lighter, and can be stored in a vastly smaller area, than wooden stakes. We utilize robotic instruments, and GPS RTK to perform a majority of our surveying. The ability for a single person to carry Quik Stakes and be instrument controllers is a definite benefit to our personnel. The cost benefit analysis of Quik Stakes vs. wooden stakes proves the Quik Stakes is superior."
