this definitely deserves the title "hack". I've never thought of welding a nut and using an impact driver to drive it into the ground. This video is also a perfect advertisement to show how powerful impact drivers are!
VERY interesting. What I like is that is the type of soil/gravel I have in my yard. All the other videos using a gas powered auger show them being used in nice sandy or loose soil. I need to penetrate that hard-packed gravel soil in my driveway. Thanks a bunch, you've given me hope that I can do this without spending $ 300 for a power auger. Now I need to figure out how to turn the anchor with a power drill or impact hammer. I don't weld - yet.
Wow Gilbert ....that was some strong winds....I guess the barn past the test....that idea is a good one ....it`s a good use for that inpact and that car port will not go nowhere now.....Good job....CHEERS
Great idea to use an air impact! Might want earplugs. I did something similar with a one-man gas powered post hole driller. Bit of rectangular tubing makes a socket for the end of the anchor.
My opinion,which everyone has one, I,myself might add a 2x4 2-3 ft. up each support with a longer ring bolt thru both, my opinion, looks like this should hold.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is the second video of someone doing this and both videos. They don’t show you what this thing is they made to put in their drill. Are people supposed to just guess what it is?
Your the man I need to speak with. Do you know if an impact wrench will drive a 12" railroad spike through a railroad tie pre drilled we drive them in with hammers but looking for a better way. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thsnks

that impact driver is a joke. Nothing behind it 110 V at best 1 hp A Proper DC geared Drive motor would kick its ass.

I would like a video on how you made the shed. It looks like a great wood storage shed

Was no air used here lol all batt operated
Very good job. I need to anchor a swing, and I think I will use your method. Thanks.

simple yet genius. very impressive. work smarter not harder.
smaller scale i do similar thing. i use an allen wrench i bent into a hook and chuck it up in a drill. runs eye bolts in real easy.
Great Idea!
thanks for the idea will help me out a lot
You took that drill for a ride theyah bub! Great hack!!!!
How nice it must be to have non clay rock hard soil
I was more impressed with your weld holding
Sounds Canadian for sure. I would have said Alberta. But guessing Ontario by the location.
Great Idea will save me a ton of work. Thanks
You're a great handyman 😊
you're a life saver
What the name of the adjustable stick that connects anchor to the wood piece?
That was slick! Thank you!
You sir are a genius
I don’t have any welding skills but sure could use one of these
where there is a will there is a way
Can anyone tell me if this method of anchoring a building will pass code in indiana?
What is this shed made of looks good

Great ideal looks like it worked good

Thsnks
That's a great hack!
excellent !!! will try that! thanks
Awesome hack! Thanks!
Hi, what is that item that you adjust the tension is called?
Is that compacted gravel or just soil? (I'm planning on having 4 inches of compacted gravel; I'm wondering if your trick would make it through that.)
It’s gravel. But should work in any material. I now use a bigger impact. Goes much faster
Great idea!
Good idea. I will try it on a couple of tree supports. Enjoy your channel. Where are you located. I grew up in Duluth Mn . Same French River?
Robin Hoff I live Ontario, Canada. Y'a those ground anchors hold well. Cheers
