guys what size cordless drills do you guys use when using augers?? I tried my 18 volt and it just wasn't doing the trick......maybe because the lack of rain made the ground harder than usual?? ive never used one of those before.....always the old dirthole/rebar ream out method.

nooo that black and decker wont work at all. Im personally a dewalt fan but any of those suggestions above will work fine. My dewalt will drill holes all day on one battery even though i keep a spare. Im running a 3 or 4 inch auger. Its strong enough if it hits something solid it will rip itself from my grip and could hurt your wrist if you dont let go.

I use my old Milwaukee 18 volt electric drill set on hammer drilling so it doesn't break my wrist when it hits a rock or tree root.
KJD357 "But I wish I had gone with a longer auger" Did you know that you can buy an auger extension for any drill bit? I ground a flat spot on my drill bit then chuck it up and tighten down the Allen head set screw anytime I want to drill a deeper hole. I can use the shallower hole drill and add the extension when I need it. Just a thought and what has worked for me. Pete
