A stake driver having a first rod that has at least one solid end for driving a stake. The other end may be pointed. A second larger diameter rod is slidably insertable over the first rod. One of the open ends of the second rod is located over a stake. Then the first rod is moved upward to allow the stake to be encircled by the open end of the second rod. The end of the second rod may be slotted to accomodate a rectangular stake or marker fastened to the top of the stake. With one hand grasping the second rod, the other hand lifts the first rod and then releases it so that the first rod can free fall and drive the stake into the soil. If additional force is required to drive the pointed end of the first rod into the soil, a third rod is slid onto the second rod and screwably connected to it. The invention includes a removable shovel made from a fourth rod with a shovel blade secured to one end of the fourth rod which also can function as a surveying reflector support, with or without the shovel blade by means of a threaded member connected to the end of the fourth rod.

A stake driver for use in driving stakes, hubs, pegs or ginies for surveys, earthwork measurements, and approximate guides for excavation by a user of the stake driver who stands in an upright position while using the stake driver comprising a first rod having at least one solid end and a second rod having a bore extending longitudinally through the second rod and two opposite open ends wherein one end is slotted, the first rod slidably locatable into the second rod and positionable over a stake inserted into the slotted open end of the second rod adjacent to soil so that the user grasps the second rod while lifting the first rod so in turn, when said first rod is released, the stake held in place against the soil by the second rod is driven into the soil by the impact of the first rod when the first rod hits the stake.
