First wrap the grip head in clingfilm. Lube with some washing up liquid if you're feeling paranoid. Then get 2 or 3 packets of sugru and form a mallet head around the jaws, making sure it's a tight fit, but that it's definitely removable. Leave it to set for 24 hours. Should pop right off.

Originally posted by D EvansI'd check with Peg and her team first but I don't think it's made to take loading along the axis. I'd be concerned about shearing some internal rod.
Since driving in tent pegs is a "force" issue, I'd go with MV's suggestion and just have a small mallet head. I generally just look for a friendly looking rock. And when there's been no rocks I take off my shoe and use the heel, as a hammer.
