# Iron Spikes *Adventuring gear* - **Cost**: 1 gp - **Weight**: 5.0 lbs. Iron Spikes come in bundles of ten. As a [Utilize](actions.md#Utilize) action, you can use a blunt object, such as a [Light Hammer](light-hammer-xphb.md), to hammer a spike into wood, earth, or a similar material. You can do so to jam a door shut or to then tie a [Rope](rope-xphb.md) or [Chain](chain-xphb.md) to the Spike. *Source: Player's Handbook (2024) p. 228. Available in the Free Rules (2024)*
