The link is in the description. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and catching that! Not sure what happened there but the link to the eye-screw has been updated. Note this will bounce around on eBay as the listing ends and is recreated (apparently.) Search for '3/4" wood lag screw" or something to that effect and you should be able to find it if the link fails in the future. The drills can be found at Home Depot or Lowe's. Just a 5/8" wood auger bit to the length that meets or exceeds the lag screw length. www.homedepot.com/p/DIABLO-5-8-in-x-17-1-2-in-High-Speed-Steel-Auger-Bit-DAG3050/313022195

Thanks for watching and the inquiry! We do not currently have any test data on the vertical capacity these anchors can safely support as our focus is mainly on installation torque values and tool options for installing anchors. We recommend contacting the supplier for what requirements need to be met (i.e. soil conditions, installation torque value, installation depth, etc.) to achieve any of their claimed values.

Thanks a bunch! Just ordered myself one!

@@travismiller1981 Thank you! If you have any questions please reach out to us for help!

The larger FCAT tools (FCAT-ADA-HD500 and greater) require the use of a stud and joist drill to achieve their rated torque capability. The one shown in this video is limited to around 20 ft*lbs maximum which a currently available regular drill/driver can supply. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and the positive comment!

Thanks for watching! We have not run across any stones in the area where we test the installation of anchors. There are no trees nearby either. But yes, both of those things can dramatically affect the installation difficulty. Our biggest problem where we test is a layer of clay starting around 40" deep and these anchors do not go down to that level. Ground conditions are always the most influential factor in the installation of anchors. They dictates the type and size of the anchor to choose as well as its installation difficulty.

Thanks for watching! Yes, ground conditions vary considerably and we have relatively "easy" soil - probably class 3 or 4 for the first 40" or so, then clay. Once you hit clay the game changes - torque to install and holding ability of the anchors go up considerably. We recommend using a "high torque" 1/2" drive impact vs. the 3/8" which it looks like the PSBIW01 is. 1/2" M18 Fuel, DeWalt DCF900, Ryobi PBLIW01, Hercules Ultratorque, etc. would be much better choice and would do far better than any large non-impacting drill can. The highest torque non-impacting drill we are aware of is the DeWalt DCD460 and it can do somewhere in the 80-100 ft*lbs torque range. Today's high torque 1/2" drive impacts can do the equivalent of around 200 ft*lbs on a 3/4" mobile home anchor. It's difficult to compare impact drivers directly with non-impact drivers. Equivalent torque for impact based drivers is heavily influenced by anchor configuration with thinner and longer anchor shafts having less impact force being transmitted to the helix.

The drive ratio is 64:1. Torque ratio is around 30:1.

It functions similarly to a torque multiplier. However, most torque multipliers do not create a "force couple" or "pure moment" which has some advantages. Most torque multipliers will not come with a torque limiter and will need to be supported somehow as well in order to accommodate the counter-torque.

Ow thanks for the reply

Thanks for the thanks! We specialize in applications and installation of ground anchors and hope to add many examples moving forward. We do offer our own line of drivers too as an alternative to impact drivers.

Having each certainly has its benefits. We would recommend having both as well. Thanks for watching.

Does the impact wrench have less rpms? They both clearly have plenty of torque. This is so interesting.. wow

And also what are those giant screws?

Thanks for watching! The impact wrench uses "impacts per minute" (IPM) which is related to the motor speed. One "impact" does not equate to one revolution typically so rpms and ipms don't compare well.

The screws are made by American Earth Anchors. Other manufacturers such as American Ground Screws make similar ones.

In our opinion and overall, non-impacting. However it depends on the circumstances. Impacting torque can certainly be effective especially when starting the anchor into the ground and using anchors that have a relatively high resistance to torsional deflection (i.e. anchors with larger cross sectional areas.) The video itself does not convey this but rather is an attempt to illustrate that the advertised torque values of impact drivers are not what one can expect to achieve for earth anchor installation or removal applications. We hope to explore this further in another video in the future to share what we have learned from our experiences with each style of driver. Thanks for watching!
