ABSTRACT:
A portable hand tool is provided for inserting a marker flag into the ground. The tool has a shaft (12) having a handle (30) attached at a first end, and a ground penetrating tip (14) extending from a second end. The ground penetrating tip has an aperture which extends longitudinally through shaft (12) and is adapted for receiving the stem portion of a marker flag. In operation, a portion (42) of the end of the flag stem is inserted in aperture (16). The flag stem is then bent back toward the tool shaft forming a U-shaped bend (44) in the flag stem. Following insertion into the ground, the bend acts as a barb to anchor the flag stem in the ground.
