    Impacts are rated for their results, as in ultimately at the end of the day how tightened can it make something or how tightened of something can it remove. Which means diddl'y in the form of active, every second it's being used, radially applied torque from a drill. There's practically no relation.
    It would be like converting the watts of a corded drill to horsepower, then implying a horse could drill the same size hole as the drill because you did the math. Sharing units of measurement doesnt mean the bits on the inside share anything in common.

      grinders have high rpm but nearly no torque to turn the auger, drills are basically the opposite.

    Obvious outcome. But thanks for trying it anyway. Basically the impact socket driver is screwing the auger in to the ground, whereas a drill at a constant high speed, and with enough torque is extracting the material. Big difference.

    we already discussed this in the previous video. but the most obvious tool for the average joe to use is an sds plus drill. and preference being the most powerful one which is the milwaukie sds max. then you need the 3:1 reduction gearbox to slow it down a bit. this requires some at home fabrication to get the adapter to the gearbox. to fabricate (or repurpose) a large handle to steady it. and to then connect the output side of the gearbox to the auger
    it probably isnt too difficult if you can find and source the right parts. and that really is the most difficult step. then attaching them.. well best if you can weld or braze them together... but this is not a precision tool. far from it. so the tolerances they don't need to matter very much. so failing that bodging them together with some basic skills or fixings will probably also work too. just not be quite as durable for a longer tool lifetime
    this type of solution will be a fraction of the price of the special purpose tool. maybe only $100 or $159 usd excluding the price of the sds.... and of course can keep on using the sds for other normal stuff

    • @ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL
      @ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL  2 года назад +6

      Well no makita sds drill will do it as they have torque limiters. They aren't even rated to do hole saws let alone massive augers.

    • @dreamcat4
      @dreamcat4 2 года назад

      @@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL heh i did suggest the milwaukie SDS max and NOT the makita for a reason... because it is indeed a pretty challenging task for a cordless tool. so then you probably want the best option (if going cordless). which just doesn't seem to be the makita in this case. can't win them all. certainly a good thing to know about those specifics on why the makita just isn't suitable.
      thing is that other guy already is doing this with an SDS (of some sort) and it worked out well enough for him to recommend it. and the reduction gearbox itself will also reduce the torque being presented to the tool (by a factor of 3 in his case, but I have also seen many other ratios gearbox, for which of course you will trade off the max auger speed, when the SDS maxes out at ~approx 500rpm).
      personally i would just try forget the cordless aspect for the moment. and try a different type of SDS, like a cheap wired one. that you doesn't mind abusing / cheaper and might have more grunt. i know that goes against the whole 'cordless everything' mentality....
      by doing it in stages to acutally get to the point to have made up such a gubbins. then it could afterwards be tried on some cordless version later on. in retrospect. Without it being such a waste of time. Then again didn't you already buy your own special makita tool for this. So I suppose not much reason to go around messing about with homemade solutions like that. No video then :(

Tried an impact wrench. Didn't work. Tried the massive brushless hammer drill ($200) and got it a decent anount further before I realized the the auger bit was firmly stuck in the ground and I couldn't back it out

      I dunno but in the 00s when Sony had a widely reported defect in its PS2 called "disc read error" they continued to ship US models with the bad component for several years while Japan market units used a different component.
      (and they charged $125 to repair units that were out of warranty)
      In this case it might just be sloppy documentation or spec testing by Makita. You know the little 18v handheld blower? I have the original version. Recently bought an 8 tool kit, it came with the redesigned model that has a noticeably smaller body. Same RPM. They rate it higher in both CFM and MPH. However next to the old one, the new one is weaker.
