Dewalt DW5964 Ground Rod Driver Demolition Hammer Steel

Product Description

The DEWALT DW5964 is a demolition steel ground rod driver designed for use with rotary and demolition hammers. It drives 1-inch ground rods using a 1-1/8-inch hex shank that seats securely in compatible demolition hammer chucks. Built from hardened steel, this driver is intended for electricians and grounding contractors who need a reliable, impact-rated tool for driving copper or steel ground rods into soil during grounding system installations. The 1-1/8-inch hex connection provides a positive, slip-resistant fit for high-impact operation.

This ground rod driver is used in electrical grounding applications for residential and commercial jobsites. It is well-suited for driving ground rods during service entrance installations, panel upgrades, and grounding electrode system work where NEC-compliant grounding is required. The driver attaches to a demolition hammer, allowing the tool operator to drive full-length ground rods quickly compared to manual methods. It is typically installed by licensed electricians or utility contractors.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for demolition hammers accepting a 1-1/8-inch hex shank drive. Verify chuck size on your specific demolition hammer before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians following NEC requirements for grounding electrode systems. Ensure the demolition hammer is powered off and unplugged before inserting or removing the driver from the chuck. Do not use this driver with rotary-only drill modes — use demolition or hammer-only mode. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and vibration-dampening gloves during operation.
