Bought a set at a good price.
Tried them out for 6 days of camping in mostly good weather (sorry no storm tests).
They work great in grass, soil and hard packed dry soil (which was too hard for the included with tent tooth picks and thicker shephards hooks I have kicking about) and manage the odd rock OK with only a couple of minor bends/twists.
They are really solid when in, gripping the ground better than the few rock pegs I used in the same ground.
Being so long they do take some serious effort to be hammered in and and the heads bend too easy, I bent 3 hammering them in and this lack of durability means I probably won't be replacing them in a rush. Shame really as they could of potentially being a great peg.

and dont forget to have a good look around the hook-ups to try and guess where the cables might be running! They arent always buried as deep as they should be
