A lot of guys like those copper gutter nails because they are quite hard, but if you get some, make sure they aren't just plated with copper. I  like harder copper myself and it's plenty soft to grab an edge and that is your main concern. I think all grounding wire is pretty much the same alloy and you will want to twist or hammer it because it is annealed and very soft so the electricians can bend it easily.

I went a different route when I made my new stick.  I drilled the hole at an angle, so the tip does not stick straight out of the end, and I can roll the stick to create the angle I need.  Once the weather changes, I will use the little lathe to build a better system than I am now using.
