Swanson Tool Co FRG15100 2.5-Inch by 3.5-Inch Marking Flags with 15-Inch Wire Staffs, Red, 100-Pack

I purchased these flags to mark areas in my lawn where I put down some new seed or Tenacity weed killer. Having the seeded spots marked makes it a lot easier to just water those spots versus putting a sprinkler down and watering a larger area wasting water. Marking where I put weed killer prevents me from putting down too much weed killer which could result in some dead grass.There is nothing much to them really. Each flag is mounted to a stiff wire so they can be inserted into the ground clearly marking that spot for whatever reason. The wire is a little thin though so if the ground is firm it can take a little finagling to get them in without bending, but when you have 100 of them it's not a huge deal and they are easy to straighten too. Something to consider though if the area you are marking has a lot of clay or some other type of firm soil. Might be better options available if this is the case. Other than that they are easy to use, easy to see, inexpensive and do the job - just like I had imagined.It would have been nice if they were sold in smaller quantities though. I only needed like 15 of them, but they all seem to come in a pack of 100. I can't imagine purchasing these again but I would not hesitate to do so if I needed more.

We added a dog to our Underground Fence and needed to re-mark the boundary. These were perfect. There were enough to do the area and then some. Some complain that they rust but I have not noticed and I don’t plan to use them permanently

The glue used to hold is not enough to hold in place. Flag is flying off same day as putting them up to mark.

Bought these to train my puppy with the fidos fence instead of paying the company an insane amount of money to do it and these worked great!

Purchased this to mark out an area for digalert. Overall decent for the price, but be warned there's a thin film of dark oil on it. Maybe leftover from the manufacturing/machining process. Wash before using them in your garden!It was getting dark so I didn't notice until I staked about 50 and went inside. Fingers were all black from handling them.Overall they're decent for the price. Flags flap nicely in the wind, but the fabric looks flimsy--probably will not last long if left exposed to the weather. The metal steel part is sturdy, and pokes into the ground easily. Only complaint is the oil.

Used these to identify where I planted pine trees, they work and for them being out for several months they seem to be holding up. These flags are made in America, and decently priced.

Right out of the pack I put several in the ground. One was already loose and slid down the stick before I walked away. A few minutes later it was completely off and blew away. The others (approx 20) did manage to make it through the one day event I used them for. I'm hoping the rest are glued better. They served their purpose, but I'm not sure how long they'd last if you plan on leaving them for any length of time. Next time I'll be prepared with tape or staples.

I bought these to mark rows in the garden before seedlings were up, and to mark new plants in the yard that I didn’t want to accidentally mow over before they got big enough to miss. Works great for both uses!!

I know this may be too much information to share, but these flags have been very useful for our family.When my small dog goes to the washroom, his stool is a bit too sticky to pick up right away because he is on a soft food diet. If I wait a day or two it is finally hard enough to easily scoop up. I use these handy little flags to mark the dog droppings in the backyard. This way no one steps in it and I can quickly clean up the mess! I also keep a few in the vehicle with me while visiting people to keep their yards clean too.PROS:• Easy to see.• Perfect length.• Sturdy wire.• You get a lot and the price was better than local stores in my area! Always price check!CONS:• The metal wire easily rusts but has not compromised the integrity of the product so far.

Even though the dimensions are listed clearly, the photos do not really do justice to show how small these flags are.I was expecting them to be round the size of the ones i see on roadways to mark water/gas/electrical lines buried underground. These are smaller.The flags are closer to the size of a business card than a playing card. The picture should illustrate it better tan any words can. I have included a typical one time use water bottle cap for reference.The flags Are easy to stick into soft ground. if the ground is hard, you may need a mallet or hammer.I used them to mark a trail about every 30 feet or so. I have lots of spares in case any are damaged by weather. I placed them last autumn and will be able to report in the spring if they have held up or not.The orange is easily visible form a distance in daylight but in darkness, without light,these will be useless.If you do have a source of light, you are still able to spot them.I could not find any alternative products.In summary, this is an alright buy. I do wish the flags were bigger and the poles were more sturdy but that would raise the price even more.One star because I feel that they should be priced lower for the size you get.TLDR: They are usable and small.

Been using to mark off some areas for grass reseeding, but mostly I leave a few out so the kids can mark where the dog poops so they don't step on it while they run around, and so I can spot it quickly to pick it up later (1/2 acre backyard).

I bought these to get my kids to stick a flag whenever they see dog 💩 in the yard so I’m able to go clean it up. I expected cheap little flags but they are far from it, they are sturdy metal stems and goes in the ground easily. The flag part can withstand all kinds of weather, very inexpensive and recommend these if you’re looking for lwn flags for whatever reason.

The Flags rust... they should have made them galvanized so they don't rust... I mean, they are a cheap rusting metal, why? It is for outdoor use, you would think they would have made them durable and galvanized. Within days of using them they were completely rusted and just picking them out of the ground and my hands were covered in rust. So annoying!
