Happy Easter mate. That little drill continues to impress me.

[@masterofnone6620]

I've been using a drill for drilling ice holes for three years now. There's no looking back to gas augers after.

[@warrickcoe5576]

You talked about a use for those 80v mower batteries. 80 v post hole borer.

[@RogueEagle]

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.

[@Davey768]

The 40v stops when that happens though.

[@RogueEagle]

@@Davey768 i only had 1 hand on it

[@sambrose1]

Anybody that says that the handle is silly long hasn't used one of these drills to it's full potential.

[@shaggysparx9122]

Awesome mate! I only needed a 6" diameter hole and was gonna rent a gas post auger, so you just saved me $100+

[@Mr357Cleveland]

Damn impressive! Cordless tools have come a long way fast.👍

[@brianwilliams9813]

hasn't been that fast 20 years

[@Mr357Cleveland]

@@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.

[@alexhamon9261]

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.

[@sawdustandsurvival]

That is absolutely crazy. I can't believe a cordless tool just did that.

[@pete_lind]

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 .

[@JacqueCRISCOsd]

@@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.

[@TheSirPotato]

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

[@robivlahov]

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 ... )

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.

Sorry. I Don't have one to test.

Have you tested it with the makita branded auger bits? Was there any difference?

[@moothegamer635]

Where did you get the auger drill bits? I have the adapter, but can't decide on the best auger.

[@antomac9529]

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.

[@philwort1873]

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

[@rayanator105]

I wonder how well the Stihl BT45 would run a 300mm auger even though it's rated for a 127mm/5" maximum planting auger size.

[@ollie9199]

But will the 18v do it?

[@henryng439]

i was trying to decide between gas auger and electric auger

[@installer1571]

I would love to see that drill drill through concrete with 150mm concrete hole saw I tried it with an 18-volt version of the drill I would be interested to see what the 40 volt would do 18 volt could not do it

[@CUMWIZARDx]

I have had luck core drilling 100mm through brick walls for wastes with my 18v makita drill

[@davidreynolds4684]

I'm guessing it'll do it providing the dirt is good brown dirt. If you hit clay and rocks it'll be rough

[@youtuberpov]

I wonder if 18v can do that as well.

[@mourikogoro9709]

Is that auger compatible with electric impact wrench? So that will reduce injury risk and also gain more drilling torque.
