RYOBI 40V AUGER UPDATE

I'll definitely update this review as I get to know this tool even better. I'll be using this tool a lot and plan on getting the 4' bit to start holes off when it gets extremely hot and dry. The auger definitely weighs less than a gas powered one but its still not a light tool, as soon as it's buried in thick clay or dirt its still plenty heavy for the average person. The 40V HP technology paired with the brushless motor gives this auger 30 more toque than the average gas auger. Simply insert the 40V battery, pull the trigger and youre ready to go. The anti kickback was trying to engage when it was that thick.Īfter digging the 4 holes there wasn't even a dent in the battery, it still registered as 4 bars. The RYOBI 40V HP Ice Auger gives you the power you need with the convenience of a battery to drill through the toughest ice. I kept it at low speed except in one spot where it needed high speed to get through the clay. It still has a little buck but it's not nearly as extreme as a gas powered.

Id either losen them from the surrounding soil when they were small or take them out completely if they were large and keep going with the auger. Kept hitting chucks of concrete and limestone and the antikickback would stop it from throwing me. I used the 8' bit that came with the kit and it powered through the clay and rock soil down to 28' easily.

My only knock is that the product came with a free rapid charger voucher that was already expired when I tried to claim it.Įxtremely effective Purchased a week ago and so far it's been awesome. I will definitely be using this for ice fishing as well! It gets a bit heavy after extended use, but for the power it provides, I love it! 5 year warranty on top of a great product, sold! I also like that it has multiple auger bit sizes and plan to get the 4' to use with fencing. I am planning to use this for fencing in the future, and based on the last 2 days of use I am 100% certain this will work well for that, once I buy an extension kit.

High speed is crazy awesome too! The anti-kickback feature engaged a couple of times when I hit a big rock or tree root, which was nice and saved me from getting tossed around. It has 3 speeds, slow, high and reverse, I mainly used the slow function and it effortlessly dug into both clay and loamy soils. I have since planted over 200 trees and I can testify to this tools capabilities! I was able to bore about 50 - 18' deep holes per battery and the only thing that slowed me down was a little bit of sod getting stuck on the teeth. This thing is an absolute BEAST! I bought the combo that comes with a 8' earth and 8' ice auger 2 weeks ago.
