@@brianwilliams9813 I don't know how many of these you use daily, but up until 8 odd years ago, my first choice for a powertool was one that plugged into the wall. I've had rechargeable Makita gear since the late '90's and for their time they were good, but they were a joke compared to 240 volt power if you were in a hurry. Since they've switched to brushless and have gone 18x2 on the more demanding tools, (and now the XGT line) I haven't touched my Corded collection, and there's some damn good stuff amongst it. So yes, to me it's been fast, if you were 18 you'd have a different perspective.
Just as with Ice auger , this has the problem that you can injure your hand . People started using cordless drills with Ice auger and new line injuries appeared to ER , people with massive thumb injury . In Finland Makita DDF486RTJ is sold with ice auger Rapala UR EVO EZ Makita Edition 155mm , that has a guard on the shaft .
@@pete_lindyeah, weak link is the human. Need some sort of rig that gives you more control. I know my Milwaukee could do this, I also know it WILL hurt me.
Great job. Looks like it could use a longer handle to keep it stable and it's perfect. Would love to see a test with masonry core bits 50mm-150mm. Great videos as always.
Part of what made me decide I wanted XGT torque was wanting to run a 3" planting auger to dig holes for all my transplants on a large garden, about cooked an Milwaukee M18 combi drill. Good to see the Makita has the beans to turn a much more substantial auger.
How good are 7/16 hex bits. I wish the big drills would run a 7/16 quick change collett like an what the metabo and festool run in 1/4 i think. I use the diablo quick change holesaw and a few or the arbors are 7/16 and quick change would be mint! I think the chuck in my hikoki has never been the same after running a 7/16 hex 150mm earth auger in it. I think the only 2 things with that driver size is usa only right angle drills and linesman impact drivers
I'd LOVE to see if the 18v 486 can do this. I daren't try to do something like this with mine because it was a major purchase and if it dies I don't have another.
Maybe the flexvolt mud mixer would be better, but still very impressive that a cordless drill can do that, I remember when a 2 9/16in drill bit would bog down my old cordless dewalt
Not long ago I used a old einhel 9v drill, god that thing is crap , it took ages to drill into 5mm of abs plastic with a step drill bit , and getting it to 32 mm was a nightmare , swore to never run out of batteries on my drills ever again (was a customer's drill and it was the last hole , +the place had no electricity ... )
Hey man, im impressed! But also wondering if the right angle drill auger thingo will turn the 300mm auger. Ive got the 36v version with 200mm auger but not sure if i should buy the 300mm. Cheers
Don't bother, it can't. The torque limiter keeps kicking in. Might be alright inreally loose or sandy soil, but it can't go into the clay I was doing with the 200mm Auger last video.

Im making a 450mm auger as well so I’ll let you know how it goes as well. If it doesn’t work well, I’ll make a 6:1 planetary gearbox adapter to drive it.

good vidoe,, seen that 40 voilt drill in action,, it sure has some grunt,, awsome it can push that auger bit too,, Love the shorts at 1.30 looks like they done a bit,, keep up the vids Cheers
Does the 40V auger/right angle drill have a lot more torque than the 40V drill you showed in this video? I can't find a torque spec for the right angle drill.
Wish i had seen this video before i purchased this drill, only in so much as to 100% confirm it is perfect for auger driving into even hard ground. Quality video like ya say... its not meant to do this but can at owners risk 🤣👍👊
My hikoki 36v makes some interesting noises in the chuck after running a 150mm earth auger down a number of holes. Not sure how these drills will stand up long term if you did alot of large holes with it. Guess it depends on your warranty claim ethics 🤣
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL Thank's. Oz Tool Talk thinks it's inactive. In fact, it's set too high for some tasks. It must be complicated to find a middle ground! The Bosch is so sensitive that it must be disabled...
perfect timing, just about to go buy a new drill lol. Hoping to get Dewalt's dcd470, which should be the same as Makita's one apart from specialised Auger style handles. Cant afford 40v stuff so dewalt it is.
This video made me go XGT. Makita should be sponsoring you 😄 If you’re running out of ideas for upcoming content (yeah I’m looking for buyers advice 😅): 1. there’s no good and/or english vids concerning DUC101, DUP362, DJV184 and a new barrel grip I can’t remember the model number of, HR007G, HR009G, CE001G. 2. A DJR189 review or vs Milwaukee, Dewalt and Hikoki equivalents 3. DUC101 vs M18 (vs Pellenc vs Stihl?)
Makita 40v looks awesome. I have been meaning to get my hands on that drill but it's still a lil pricey out here in the states. Waiting on a good sale.
I certainly wouldn't be doing this all the time with it. I have the big Gen2 Milwaukee drill, and even with a mixer attachment for mixing paint and plaster, the gearbox is straight up not having a good time
I have been looking at some augers to try the same thing with different drills; i have been wanting to try this with the big Dewalt 60v joist drill and mixer drill I have. It is amazing what these new cordless tools can do!
I use this often for post I find it usually gets through clay/sandstone but what stops it in its tracks are roots that are about 2inches plus. It saves a lot of time but you get unlucky with roots sometimes.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL After nearly taking off a kneecap with a 10 inch angle grinder I’ve got nothing but respect for these tools. If there’s a handle in the kit that thing’s getting used.
There's been someone on trade me selling auger bits for drills, and I've thought about giving it a go with 18v drills for a while so essentially this video talks right to my imagination here haha. Do I need to dig a hole soon? No. Am I going to look at getting some for my amusement? Hells yeah haha
*THIS IS NOT A CRAZY IDEA BECAUSE MAKITA ALREADY MAKES HANDLES TO PUT ON THEIR EQUIVALENT TO MILWAUKEES SUPER HAWG, THE EXTRA HANDLES ARE FOR PROPER HANDLING/BRACING* TRY A HEAVY DUTY DRILL, ELECTRIC WILL WORK LIKE A SUPER HAWG
There has got to be someone on this planet who is making adapters for tool batteries that can adjust voltage. I wish I could use my 60v dewalt batteries on 40v makita tools.
It wouldnt work. 60v (54v) has to be in configuration of 15 cells (15,30,45,60 etc) 40v (36v) has to be in configuration of 10 cells (10,20,30,40 etc). 20v (18v) works cuz its a configuration of 5 cells (5,10,15, 20 etc) theres one flexvolt battery that could work with the makita 40v if the wiring was proper and thats the 15ah flexvolt cuz its a 30 cell battery which can work for either voltage. Has to be wired properly for it tho. I dont know how some1 could make an adpater that would change the battery to proper wiring and voltage
You can see an amateur made this comment as you have not listened as the tool IS on the lowest setting as was talked about in the video. Nor do you understand physics in relation to the increased speed of the outer diameter of drill bits with the increase in size. If you are going to come at people, make sure you know what you are talking about, because you don't pal.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL can you make a video plz? If it works might save me a bit of cash. Those big torque impacts are sitting at about 900nm, seems like it should work on paper?

Happy Easter mate. That little drill continues to impress me.
You talked about a use for those 80v mower batteries. 80 v post hole borer.
I've been using a drill for drilling ice holes for three years now. There's no looking back to gas augers after.
Can’t believe your channel still doesn’t haven’t 100k subscribers. Glad to be one of the early ones. Keep up the good work man 👍
Cheers man.
Anybody that says that the handle is silly long hasn't used one of these drills to it's full potential.
Awesome mate! I only needed a 6" diameter hole and was gonna rent a gas post auger, so you just saved me $100+
I put an auger on my 18v, first few holes went ok... third one hit blackberry roots and twisted around in my hand.. really needed a handle on it.
The 40v stops when that happens though.
@@Davey768 i only had 1 hand on it

how to attach drilling machine bit to Earth auger

Have you tested it with the makita branded auger bits? Was there any difference?
How would a big rotary hammer go like the DHR400ZK

Sorry. I Don't have one to test.
I used a worx 20v rotary hammer drill cant even dig a hole.
Is that auger compatible with electric impact wrench? So that will reduce injury risk and also gain more drilling torque.
