The driving it in at an angle for a glancing shot is old wives tale. Any obstacle will not know how you're approaching it. Straight down may be the perfect glancing angle.
Have the same SDX Max, was great for drilling into granite to split for the mancave, and yes, need electrical run out to it, and of course grounding rods. Just ordered the attachment 👍
Thought you call to check power lines, gas line etc before digging. It hit against something good thing wasn’t a live gas line. We all get in a hurry these days but should always be safe. Cool tool seems to do a great job.
If you are needing to actually have your system properly grounded DO NOT GO BY THIS VIDEO…. This video is obviously or I hope only for the demonstration of the tools being used to drive a ground rod. Then this video is great. If you want another just as fast way and much cheaper just use a bottle of water and you can normally do this by bare hand until last foot or 2 then you will need to use a 4 or 5 pound mini sledge to drive it rest of the way to get it below the surface. Just google it and you will see. This of course is if you’re not building on an underground granite or other Stone Mountain.
Use your grinder and grind a point on the rod before driving it, makes it go easier when hitting rocks, foundations, or roots. What about a little hearing protection ???
Nice video. I will be purchasing one for the same purposes, granted it has gone up in price to $159 USD. As an advice, if you leave your water hose while running the hammer drill it makes the process a lot easier.
I haven't tried, but I do think it could, but you would need the right bit. I haven't been able to find one. And you would need to be able to push or pull down on it. I don't believe it has enough weight to do it on it own. Doing a 8 foot grounding rod was a challenge because of how high the starting prostion was so high.

Aren't grounding rods supposed to be 8ft long per the code?
Depends on the code and what there for.
200 amp needs 2 or 3 eight foot copper rods spaced 6 feet apart

We just built our house. It in a old hay and corn field the only lines on are property is what we put in. But yes it has been checked before we build

Yes, they have, and I can't even find this one anymore in most places. The closest one I see now Is like 10amps and sds plus not sds max.
Is it powerful enough to drive t posts?

No effort, thats why your breathing like you just ran a marathon!
No, that's because I'm fat and had to bend over.
