You need to add a link in the description of this video that sends people to where they can buy.

[@Thebombonlyone]

I get the idea but as you said. When you dig with an auger or shovel they are both insufficient. But you combined the two "insufficient" tolls together. LOL

[@krazyj1957]

I want to see it work in a rocky yard.

[@rodferguson8679]

Seriously?

[@loktom4068]

🙏 pray.

[@bobbif100]

I've been using an auger drill bit attached to my battery-powered drill that also disengages when it hits roots and it works great. I even have an extended auger that I can use standing up and it only cost me $30. This seems like the same thing but more expensive. Am I missing something?

[@timspartan9971]

That's soft ground What about wet clay or rock hard clay ? Sticky mud clay! How long does battery last for half an hour I bet 5 hrs to charge

[@brianwhitney9181]

The battery at this voltage is to weak to break up compacted soil.

[@paulpierce2051]

Voltage is speed. To break soil you need torque (amps) and can be assisted with a “hammer” feature like on an impact driver. That said I have no idea what the amperage is in this device or if they have thought about implementing a hammer feature.

[@valkyriefrost5301]

@@paulpierce2051 - Gear reduction used in these electric tools converts motor speed into torque. The hammer feature will be added to their product next year called the Rotoshovel HyperMAX

[@RAndrewNeal]

Voltage is not power. Voltage times current equals power, which is measured in Watts. It could be a one volt battery; but if it puts out 200 amps, you have 200 Watts. That's impractical. But 36V at 20A equals 720W; roughly equal to one horsepower. I don't think you need a whole horsepower to dig a post hole.

[@paulpierce2051]

@@RAndrewNeal yes, because mechanical power is also measured in speed x load = hp. However you understand speed and torque can be manipulated by gear ratios. With an electric motor you can do the same with the voltage and amps, by reducing voltage and increasing amps you can make the same electric motor spin slower with more toque. Electric motors tend to lose torque at higher RPM.

[@RAndrewNeal]

@@paulpierce2051 That all depends on how the motor is designed. I'm not opposing you, but informing the OP. I was intentionally being very broad, since an offhand KZbin comment isn't the place to go in-depth about Ohm's Law and electric motor design.

[@angelathomas9579]

Can you please tell me the size of the screw. I dropped it when I was trying to assemble it

[@danielbigtiger]

I will use that for my design tech assignment

[@crossbow3539]

I guess it’s ok for planting tulip bulbs

[@VRtechman]

Ha! Your link doesn't work! 😅

[@DavidSmith-tn7qw]

MAKE ONE FOR POSTHOLE DIGGING!!😎 Fencing jobs will be much easier 😉

[@iunnox666]

A gas auger is what you use for that, and even then you're probably going to have to dig some stones out by hand once you're a few feet down.

[@jesusoftheapes]

Trappers invented this 20 years before you did it !

[@CreativityUnleashed]

I still don't see how they demonstrated that this was any faster than someone that actually knows how to use a shovel and a properly operated shovel can make very quick work of things that's why they've been around for hundreds of years I am not saying that innovation isn't good I just don't see this being quite up to par but if it is it would be neat to see a comparison demonstration of digging holes or trenches and having both very skilled operators and finding out.

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

You’re right, however, I’ve reached the age where I feel faint and/or dizzy when I do the kind of work you describe. Passed out once. I had hope these guys were legit, but seems like a sketchy operation. Called them twice, but they never told me the truth yet. The idea was pretty good, but it seems there are other products out there that can work as well. Better yet, you can buy it and take it home immediately. DO NOT DO THEIR PRE-ORDER OFFER!!!

[@amcken]

Many people are disabled so they can't use a shovel.

[@alikakalanihuia8891]

I don’t recommend you pay for their Rotoshovel Max pre-order offer. I did, and I called 2 months later asking when we should expect the tool to be available. Their expected date back then was February 2022. That went by, and I called again. Their next answer was April 2022. My next call will be for a refund. Their pre-order holds no definite sale date or availability. Scam maybe? Something ain’t right. Updated: It’s late June and nothing yet.

[@amcken]

WOW, that's TERRIBLE!

[@babyyodamaster6444]

this is great the force is strong with this one

[@kevinbrown1629]

There IS a powered shovel.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

No responses to comments is troublesome...

[@VRtechman]

Still I was hoping for a 40Volt model! What was the price again!?

[@treadogt8773]

Make one that helps dig around a utilitie pole and ill buy something

[@mach5jeep]

I'll jut buy an auger bit for my Ryobi drill or impact driver

[@Paul.Douglas]

Replaces a gas auger??? Um, no.

[@kdub_214-DC4L]

This is genius! I can't wait to get one. I have Texas clay in my yard.

[@kingbob1965]

Love this idea

[@martinborrego8310]

There is no way that this tool work in oklahoma soil.

[@floraandfaunab8855]

I will buy rotoshovel if it is made in USA.

[@MarineScoutSniper]

And now it’s made in China. 😂

[@valkyriefrost5301]

US corporations off-shored manufacturing decades ago and the US Congress gave them tax credits as a bonus.

[@loktom4068]

Labors strikes in USA too often. Boss don't like cry babies at factory. Remember?

[@mlalloway3413]

Make a gas powered one that is smaller and more robust than others and market it as the most environmentally evil shovel

[@thomasg4324]

*So it's LESS capable, and dirtier.* #Innovation

[@kano8474]

I zoomed in on the box’s. MADE IN CHINA? WTF

[@mrprimenumbers6448]

this would have been a better product if you had designed it to work with existing drills. It would be more affordable and a much easier product to sell.

[@rpalmer274]

You could not use this in Nova Scotia Canada too many rocks in the soil useless

[@violetdevereaux158]

Do not waste your money!!!!

[@jimbrown9885]

i want to invest! ....in ANYTHING else.

[@tedbaxter5234]

Why on earth would you take a swipe at someone who is building on a dream? I guess it’s because you live in a dreamless world without hope. So sad for you.

[@Area51ca]

Gimmick dont waste your money.

[@TrueToad]

Made in China.
