Hi
I use a ground rod driving tool that fits on an
electric "roto hammer" or "demolation hammer"  or an
electric "pavement breaker"  I am old.  However there
is an improved "fence post driver" made by Greenley
that may be 1+" inside diameter and slides inside of
its self to allow a good stroke and driving the rod
from full length in the air to almost flush with the
ground.
