A grounding rod driving system for facilitating installation and
extraction of a grounding rod includes a sleeve slidably receiving a
grounding rod. The sleeve slides along the grounding rod when the
grounding rod is being driven into a support surface. A driver is coupled
to a top end of the sleeve. The driver impacts the grounding rod to drive
the grounding rod into the support surface when the sleeve is slid
downwardly onto the grounding rod.
