I tried to do that with my smaller Ryobi impact and Ryobi driver. The drive almost smoked it self out. The impact just couldn't get it all the way in. Granted, I must have hit a root, the anchors were ONLY the 18 inch long version and it was MISSISSIPPI soil (i.e., clay with some sand). Was using the PSBIW01 w/4ah battery and P235AVN w/same battery power. The non-brushless just started smelling after it just couldn't drive any further. The impact driver was pretty much useless once the auger hit a root (I'm guessing, not any rocks that I'm aware of and I just had a 500gal tank sunk for a generator and not ONE rock was found). I've almost just went to Harbor Freight to get a throwaway power drill with enough power to put this things in the ground, or break a wrist trying. Great video though. You made it look easy.
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.
