Are you randomly digging holes in some Auckland park? I hope you covered those holes with thin sticks and a loose sprinkling of dirt after you were done.

[@riba2233]

cmon this is an AEG drill, not an ACME one 😅

just aerating some land

Late to the review, but so glad I bought the Makita. I decided to bite the bullet after that review and move over from the TTI stable into Makita products (Ryobi/AEG is what I had). Extremely happy that I did. Our soil is dry, black, hardpack clay. I have had petrol augers not do the job. The Makita ate it up, then asked for seconds. 800mm down using a 150mm auger bit with only 1 relieving movement. Absolutely brilliant.

[@marlowkenyon307]

haha i find it hilarious how they sent you two single chargers when they have a double on the market! but how do you rate it vs the 40v makita?

[@pete_lind]

There is no difference, other than you need two outlets. Makita double and quadruple chargers have both two single chargers inside. Bosch GAL 18V 6-80 charger has 6 slots for batteries, but only one charger. Milwaukee multi charger M18 PC6, has two chargers for 6 battery slots.

[@markt9028]

I bought the makita auger /drill. So far i have only used it to power a boat trailer winch to pull cars.

[@veitjacob9764]

Rewatching the Makita earth auger test just shows how violently the makita just drills into everything.😅

[@thekiwinomad]

Great video I wander how it will go against the Makita 40volt

[@92MrSandmann]

Can you please make a review on Makita's latest stick vacuum.

[@whya2ndaccount]

Looks like you were doing "Caddyshack" impersonations on a local golf course? Well done though for finding a piece of dry ground in NZ after your recent weather - and with more to come.

[@davemccraw5795]

If you're struggling with the largest auger can you run it into a pilot hole, say 300 into 200, or will it not pull because the screw tip is in the air?

[@user-sn8wp2ux1y]

Hello, does this tool have the extra Force terminals on each side to pair up with the extra terminals on the Force batteries? Thanks!

[@El_Savenok-mh7fq]

Wow! cool one from AEG. I have one from Greenworks 82v. Heavy as hell for cordless, but have some decent runtime. I have similar soil to plant in, but way more rocks. At least half of my post holes are made with earth auger and demolition hammer combined. For trees I often do 4*200 or 6*20mm holes, much easier than one or two 400mm.

[@Chris-iu5ol]

Made a pretty good job considering that stuff that you call soil and the safety switch is not a bad thing.

[@UKTOOLTALK]

Mmmm looks like a great bit of kit!, we don’t have a lot of aeg tools over here in Blighty,I remember there being more about 20 years ago but not now!!, anyway AEG TESTS WITH A MILWALKEE HOODY!!! Im worried about you!!, im posting you a little Christmas treat my friend!! Look out for it 🤟🤟

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Cheers dude, I shall keep my eyes peeled...

[@davemccraw5795]

The RPM on this is a huge contrast with the RPM on the Makita auger!

[@GG-mj8vw]

How does it compare against Makita?

[@michaell1112]

A comparison video is a great idea

[@taitan0508]

I tried 300mm on Makita. It works!

[@iainfenwick2433]

Big price difference

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Video soon...

[@Ibsonlovesyou]

I just wish Wales wasn't one giant rock! Cant use these even attached to a digger some times.

[@riba2233]

Well, now I have to ask, where did that bomb come from 😅 Btw how does it compare to the xgt version?

[@izoyt]

makita should do something like this, where clearly, you could use 4x battery arrangement (maybe 4x or 2x+2x 18v/ or 2x 40v), maybe even above the motor. seems the handle design is key here, but if it was collapsible, it could be stored in not that big footprint (basically just high cylinder).

[@stinkees696]

Who is your camera operator? Very good videoing. I use a cheap petrol one, and it has about the same performance as the battery powered one

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

My wife on this one. Don't praise her too much or I'll have to start paying her.

[@Handleyman]

Ryobi have a 100mm 18v post hole digger which is pretty good actually. However, I am slowly moving across to AEG but I didn’t know they had a post hole digger too, or I would have bought that instead! Bummer!

[@default9740]

6’41” lucky it skipped the third leg Bro!

[@suvijakengr3374]

Like from Thailand. Can you compare with Dewalt DCD444b ?

[@БулатБасыров-у2щ]

А сравнить с Макитой DG001G, еу или на крайняк с DDG460⁉️ Thank you за обзор Булатный лайк мой👍

Do I get a prise if I can guess the street number of the batch you were staying at in kuaotunu?

Yes if you get it first shot.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

So how did you know?

[@Hand-Driven]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I walk my dog up and down that beach. Knew where it was within half a kilometre. Just did a quick batch search and google maps satellite view and boom.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

@Hand-Driven Oh you're the guy I was talking to about the area in a previous video. Well done.

👍👍👍Love it .Thanks

[@72evenant35]

Next time im out puke ways ill know who dug them holes.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

So what makes you think the holes are in Puke?

[@xXstrattXx]

New Zealand is odd, not just his videos but they all youtubers from the all just clay, here in utah we got 1 inch soil 10 inches sand and rock then rock and boulders for the next 20 or more feet

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Have you ever thought that perhaps Utah is odd?
