Time is always an issue and anything that speeds setting up is a blessing. These might be handy for people who set up crafting tents for art shows and the like.

To think he chased Dracula around with a wooden mallet and stake when he could have just used a cordless Makita and a few of the Screwpegs....I guess you could say he would have screwed him to eternal death... :P Think how pissed off Van Helsing would be if he saw this technology.

You should have seen the unwieldy primitive drill-like apparatus Sir Edmund Hillary had to carry around to drill his tent stakes in. Most people mistakenly think he was carrying ropes in those pictures - they were extension cords! What other tasks to you think up to justify bringing the drill on the trip? A weenie rotisserie for evenly cooked dogs? A very slow fan? An expediently rendered latrine for your pet mouse? Searching for extremely shallow oil deposits? Chuck up a q-tip and restore your ears to like new condition? Relief from the onus of constantly cranking your fishing reel? We have it so good these days - tent stakes put in with a cordless drill.

They might have been nice when I was camping in Death Valley though (hardest bloody soil I've ever camped on). What wound up saving my hide were my rock chisels that I'd brought along for some mineral collecting a few days later. I pounded those suckers into the ground, tied the tent down with some rope and it wasn't going anywhere. This turned out to be great as later that day a dust storm kicked up and was blowing tents around the campground like tumbleweeds (except for mine). Hmm… $2.80 per peg seems a bit pricey for me.
