Nite Ize Orange Screw Small Ground Anchor
The Nite Ize Orange Screw Small Ultimate Ground Anchor is a compact screw anchor that provides stable anchoring for light to medium-weight outdoor gear. Instead of a tent stake that needs to be driven into the ground, the Orange Screw uses a continuous thread that grips firmly into the ground. With a total length of 24.0 cm (20.0 cm of which is threaded), a diameter of 2.2 cm, and a weight of just 51 grams, this anchor is easy to carry in any backpack or camping gear.
The ground anchor is made of high-quality polycarbonate (PC). This material is dimensionally stable, impact-resistant, and resistant to oxidation, salt water, and chemical contaminants in the soil. Under favorable soil conditions, the Small version can withstand a tensile force of up to approximately 176 kilograms. The head is equipped with multiple attachment points for guy lines, webbing straps, or carabiners. The anchor comes with a multifunctional, transparent T-Grip Tool that serves as a lever when screwing it in and clicks onto the threads as a protective cover after use.
Benefits for the Target Audience
- High pull-out resistance: The wide spiral thread cuts through grass, firm soil, and clay, and provides significantly more grip against wind loads than smooth stakes.
- No hammer required: The included T-Grip slides through the anchor’s eye, allowing you to generate maximum leverage to screw the anchor into compact soil by hand.
- Lightweight construction: Weighing just 51 grams, the anchor adds virtually no weight to your gear.
- Corrosion- and bend-resistant: The polycarbonate retains its shape under load and does not rust or corrode in wet soil.
- Dual function of the T-Grip: Serves as a sturdy protective sleeve during transport, preventing sharp screw threads from damaging other gear.
The Nite Ize Orange Screw Small is suitable for grassy areas, clay soil, forest floors, and dirt.
- Installation: Slide the transparent T-Grip Tool through the round eye at the top of the anchor. Position the tip at the desired location and twist the anchor clockwise into the ground until the head is just above ground level. Attach the guy line, loop, or tension cable through the eye or the side notches.
- Removal: Detach the attached lines, reinsert the T-Grip through the eyelet, and turn the anchor counterclockwise to remove it from the ground.
- Maintenance: Simply rinse off sand and dirt with tap water. Dry the anchor and slide the T-Grip over the threaded shank for safe storage.
- Safety Instructions: This product is intended exclusively for securing equipment and materials. It is expressly not suitable for rock climbing, fall protection, or lifting applications.

- Beachgoers and day-trippers: For anchoring beach umbrellas, windbreaks, or lightweight sunshades in firmer patches of sand or grass.
