What do you guys think? Milwaukee makes an adapter to put on a cordless impact wrench that will accept an auger bit.

I use the spade bits that chuck up to my DeWalt.

How much is that? I need one for my shop issued impact. It's about useless as it sits now.

It defies the logic behind an auger bit. Auger bits are designed to feed themselves through, not bash their way through. If they designed an auger bit specifically for an impact driver I would be interested, though.

Impact guns are the future, they are so much better than normal drills.


I know a guy in Nebraska who roughs whole houses with an M12 impact and a 3/4" Bosch DareDevil spade bit.

Tried it once. The Daredevil got stuck in the impact driver and was a b!tch to get out.

An impact gun doesn't hammer like a hammer drill.
The impact is rotational.

Like if you had a wrench on a nut and used a hammer to loosen it.

Okay, you've got me convinced. no mas, no mas .

I am getting me one of those Milwaukee 7/16 impacts. I hear that they are the ****. More powerful than a hole hawg.

better than using a 1 3/4 drill bit to drill through ten inches of concrete with a big ass hammer drill :no:

When I've done it it seems it's slower. But the nice thing is as it ratchets there is no twist back to jam up your wrists.

I had a 1"auger bit stuck in about 8 PT 2x4s laminated together.
I rigged up an adapter and a socket and my 1/4" 18 volt Dewalt ran through the stack of wood and backed it out in just a few seconds.
I was quite impressed.

What else you have on that work bench?

Used one of these to drill all the 1/2" bolt holes in a deck I built.
Powered by a 1/4" Hitachi 18V impact, worked great.

... bits are still designed for rotation with pressure applied, not the impact type pressure, JMO

I use daredevil spade bits in my impact when I need to get into tight places. Works well as long as you are using a self feed bit and you are letting the wood chips clear out. A little slower and louder but definitely has it place. I would have no problem putting an auger on my impact if I had one that fit.
