Questions & Answers
A drill bit isn't what it is it is an auger. My tool of choice is a big variable-speed electric drill that I'm using low and slow to drill holes in oak trees for threaded rods. As soon as the flutes catch and begin to stick, as near the end of a deep hole, the drill itself may turn quickly and you may break your wrist or thumb. So keep the speed low and be patient. A little screw is also attached to the lead end of most augers. Only at a very slow speed can it bite and pull in. Also, I like to reverse the auger occasionally to get rid of any big chips. Thank you, Bob, I hope this will help

I don't know. The drill bit fits in it.
The bit is meant for wood augering, so no, it cannot work on it.

To replace my damaged dock and seawall after Hurricane Michael, I installed 1/2 inch stainless steel threaded rods with stainless steel nuts and washers to prevent the dock from collapsing in on itself again. A 5/8 inch hole had to be drilled from a crossmember and a piling of two 2 x 10. The 60 I needed to drill through totaled 60. My first attempt with a spade bit (flat) didn't even get started into the pile. As you can see, after purchasing the Dewalt Auger Bit, I began using it on the piles that were not yet installed. As I was using my 1/2-inch corded drill to bore this hole, it bore it cleanly without any Nevertheless, I had already jetted most of the piles and I was unable to use my corded drill to do so. It was impossible to use two different 1/2 inch battery powered drills to get the job done. In some instances, I would bind and stop before I could finish the 10/10 drills. In order to use my new portable drill, I purchased a Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2 inch I was able to handle the job with the drill and Auger Bit. Furthermore, there were a few hardened screws and nails in some of the old pilings, and the bit managed to cut through them as well. The notion that one of these auger bits might wear out before I was finished with my drilling led me to buy two Nonetheless, the second bit has not been opened yet, and so far I have drilled approximately 90 holes (for both the crossmembers and This video would be highly recommended.
The pros are There is something wrong with this thing! Wood and even nails (although I did not intend to go through nails) are no match for this tool. As part of the construction of our new home, I ran a number of cables and security cables through 1 1/4" Carlon flexible PVC tubing (blue smurf tubing). Most of my holes were doubles, but there were a few singles as well In addition to that, triple-check 2x4 beams stacked one on top of the other. The bit is still capable of drilling even more holes, even though it is slightly dulled. The cons are I RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THE RIGHT An adequate amount of power is needed. The battery I have is a 26v one- A Dewalt tool with an 18-volt and a 6-volt I tried to use a Craftman with an amp wired on it, but it just couldn't handle What's the solution? The power drill I bought has the largest amp rating I could find. There are 10 things to do before you die Due to the large amp draw, as noted by the drill's instructions, I also had to purchase 150' of 12AWG wire (a smaller size wire would have caused power to be reduced and the danger of overheating to arise). You should note If you're running it a distance of a couple of hundred feet, you might be able to use a smaller wire [a wire with a larger AWG number]. There was only one electrical outlet when I built my home, and it was about 100 feet from me. In spite of this, I still prefer to get 12AWG wire for shortest distances just to be sure. In spite of this Take note You're at risk Unless you have enough power to drive this bit, you would not be able to use it.
Let me assure you I am telling the truth. The first time I used a paddle bit with a battery drill, I drilled over a hundred 5/8" holes in RR ties along a 400-foot stretch on our property to secure with rebar, and I did not know this auger bit existed. This bit works like butter on my REAL electric drill (DeWalt) and makes drilling holes as simple as going through butter. No matter how thick the creosote is, the drill bit or bit can remain unphased. Let the bit do the work and make sure to clean out the hole often as I go. Not a problem at all. I have drilled well over 100 holes with the bit and it looks brand You've impressed me.
In my toolbox, I now have several sizes of this bit and I'm extremely happy to own them. In my experience, they work for a wide range My reach increases and I can drill more easily with them. You should be careful once you get through them, as they are very aggressive once they are attacked. Several nails have been found in the old studs of the building I am working on, and they appear to be in good condition.
The drilling machine has powered through approximately 50 holes in two large cherry tree stumps and is ready for more to come. The only complaint, and the reason for this only receiving a 4 star rating, is that the chuck was not perfectly square, so the drill would wobble about two thirds of the way through. It stays relatively cool and sharp if you go slowly, and the wobble can be controlled. In addition, I would like to point out It's best to use a 1/2" plug for this project When the stumps are being drilled with a drill, you make many holes at once My batteries only fit through a few holes, and I burned up the cheaper 1/2" plug I bought The number of holes you drill in less than ten is acceptable. The price of a cheap item is around $50, the minimum seems to be $100, and regular prices can often be found Drills get hot, and letting them cool when they get too hot should prevent them from being burnt.
I found the drill works well, but larger sizes are going to be difficult to use Because of the size of the bit, it requires a lot more power than most individuals can supply. This is not a physics error, but a bug in the bit.
