I don't think its the tool they are worried about. I would think it's the human , even this one can do harm to a human that's stupid with it , imagine one with double the torque , some dumbass would get his arms pulled out of his shoulders if the auger caught and the drill started spinning

@hazza2247 2 года назад

problem is the more u drop the gear ratio through multiple gear sets the more power u lose to friction and shit so it makes the tool less efficient, i do see the uses for a tool like that tho

@petersvideofile Год назад

I bought this thing and asked my carpenter to use it and the result was afew thousand cheaper bill at the project. The project was installing 20 1.5 m deep pile screws into clay soil on a 40 degree incline. It took two people and a 50cm auger extender bit. With the 100mm auger they were able to loosen everything to 1.5m then use hole diggers to extract the remaining dirt and install the piles. I'de estimate this saved me at least 3000 as they didn't need to erect temporary scaffolding or anything. Thanks for introducing it to me :)

@briand4613 Год назад

Just bought one of the 36v Augers (as I've already got loads of 18v tools/batteries), based on this and other videos/reviews, and it works a treat. I'm using it mainly in ground that's a mix of topsoil, clay and a little bit of stone (mainly 40-50mm chunks), and no issues so far, but I've only used it for about 20 holes so far for fence posts. I've been using 100mm and 200mm twin blade auger bits, although I initially had to use a single blade auger bit (because the auger bits got lost by the carrier), and the twin blade/spiral ones are so much better.

@TakamiWoodshop 2 года назад

Beast indeed it is. Dude you know that fence I built last year, did I tell you I dig all the holes for that with my impact with a 20mm xtension spade bit on it, no shit, yes it took a long time but I did about 10 holes , 100mm each and do that 6 times per hole. So I was not surprised when you put your own drill on that auger and it just worked. These motors are amazing..

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL 2 года назад

Yeah I think I saw you doing it on a video or Insta. I've ordered one of these now and I will get a few different Augers. I'll then try the 100mm Auger on the HP001G because I think it will handle that OK. Lots more vids to come me thinks...

I never even considered a battery model as I thought they wouldn't have enough grunt, very impressed with the video but as others have said it really needs a slower setting as 1 seems too fast and 2 is just stupid.

@kizzjd9578 2 года назад

@@Adam_Lynn I drilled 4x 200mm holes about 800mm deep in hard clay and it worked awesome. One thing that made a big difference is make sure you dont push down on it, just let the weight of it drill itself and the clutch wont engage.

Your channel is the best! For the viewers wondering about this auger, I bought the 18Vx2 version and am running a 10" Ryobi bit on it. It absolutely tears through everything and my ground is a total nightmare where a shovel just bounces off the ground - the options are rockbars, picks, rotary hammers or this Makita. It shreds palm tree roots like they don't exist. There is zero kick on the machine with the clutch - when I say zero I mean zero meaningful kick. I was speechless when I first used this tool. It is a game changer for sure!

@DoctorJonesPhD 2 года назад

The problem a lot of people may not be considering is that tools are designed for safe operation and in a lot of cases, to be used by the “average” person (depending on target audience). Any more torque and you start pushing the boundaries of what is safe and manageable. After all, if it’s so powerful it twists you off your feet, what good is it? 😅 Thanks for the video!

You might want to check out ground screws. Itll cut out the augering step as well as the leveling the post , securring it while the cement or foam cures in the hole. You can drive most if them with a 1/2" drive drill or rent the ground screw installer

Except speed control reduces your power output. Lower gearing gives you the lower RPM but still able to go full power. They either need to make a dedicated auger with lower gear ratio or add a 3rd speed to the right angle drill. A 3rd option would be to add a 1:4 gearbox to the handlebar assembly that sits between the chuck and the auger adapter.

Thank you for your excellent review. You will find using the extension bar on the auger makes a huge difference in controlling the auger bit. I was surprised that the auger uses standard fitting and I was able to transfer all fitting from my petrol auger. I have been using it to put in w fence posts and it works well provided that end of auger bit stay sharp. There are a couple of things that are a little disappointing , I tried using it to put coach bolt into 150mm treated pine post it couldn’t do it. It went in about 100mm and stopped. I had to finish the job with an impact driver. The other thing to look out for is the aluminum safety bar is easily bent if not treated with respect.

It looks like maybe a users right arm would be happier if the grip+trigger were angled a good 30 degrees (top side toward you). It'd be a problem though because you're pushing the tool away instead of down. It's just that when I see it pull on your right hand I picture holding a dog lead, arm straight, and the (big) tries to take off. On deathwish mode it I could see a choice wrist or elbow sprain.

The second one is ice fishing mode.

Sorry but I think for post holes 400rpm is way too fast, even with the variable speed it would be a pain to control and loses most of it's power at slower speed, but I stand to be corrected

@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL It looks like it puts a lot of strain on your back. Did you find that a problem? Could it be operated by 2 people?

I used a gas powered version, modified with a hatched/axe head bolted to the cutting edge at the bottom. Here in north Texas, we have black clay soil which is pretty damn tough. But it made digging my 2.5-3 ft. deep holes for my fence much faster than digging by hand. Using a cordless electric option is not something I would've even considered doing, and I wish I could physically compare the soil type in this video with what's in my yard. But surely 40V makes all the difference, as opposed to an 18-24V version.

That speed selector should be at the top side.

As I stated in the video.

Found my new ice auger hahaha

@isovideo7497 Год назад

Anyone know how this compares with the Ryobi 40V auger (which I have). The Ryobi also works very well.

whats the outside diameter of the chuck adapter? ive already got augers so want to see if my current augers will fit that adaptor.

Ok. You’ve got to compare this with the X2 18v LXT version (36v). It seems that the dual LXT auger is a monster. Since a lot of us are still on the LXT platform; would you give it a go? Please? Come on man!

Already in progress.
