How do you use snow stakes?

Do snow stakes work?

Snow stakes are designed to anchor a tent in compacted snow. I’m dubious that the standard snow stake design—though it does work reasonably well—couldn’t be improved somehow. In particular, I find the lack of a substantial hook on the top of the stake makes it more challenging to secure a tent anchor loop or guy line.
