My neighbor was having issues with their shepherd's hooks not going into the ground because one of the prongs would bend. I did a simple repair and reinforcement to get these hooks working again for years to come.
They might work, but the stronger the metal you use the better! I feel like it would be really hard to make a strong brace without welding it in -- unfortunately things are made so poorly these days.
Does anyone know how to fix the bottom "L shaped" part of a Shepard's hook that broke from the rod without soldering. They are made so cheap these days and everyone I've bought breaks right at the solder mark, so I was wondering if there is some kind of clamp system that can rig the 2 parts together. the old one's use to do like yours and just bend, I'm only using this one to hold a hanging bird feeder.
