I wonder how these compare. Wonder if they come from the same factory.

Must admit they look like MSR Groundhog stakes, which (to date) are my favorite stakes ever for holding power. The price seems pretty sweet.

Despite the DealExtreme address suggestion, they really are not nail stakes.

No they are not...
Different shape head for a start
There are plenty of Y stakes about including from some reputable tent makers, not just MSR.

I use the Coghlan's ultralight, nine inch variety. No problems yet but the ground is soft here.

I see the deal extreme name in the title so I ran. I ordered two things from them. 10 mini lights which work for about 3 to 5 minutes each and then start sputtering. And a soft water bottle that never arrived. They just sent me an email over a year later to ask if I was ever refunded. Just spend your money on lotto tickets.
