Larger auger bits can break your arm w/ a more powerful drill, especially a Hilti Drill or similarly strong one. I once was up on a ladder extending my arms w/ a drill & a 3" auger ..... the drill twisted & lifted me up as I danged for almost 1 minute before I could get stable. I'm sorry, mine was an angle drill but you get the idea about the dangers of an auger, bigger is more so. peace
It's amazing what that little cordless drill is capable of including breaking my wrist, haha. Glad you survived your ordeal and thanks for watching and commenting!
Not sure how I got here but I saw the Tree Bolt & who knows where I might need it down the line? When my large auger bit grabbed & got stopped, the angle drill spun & I had the handle facing down to me on that ladder but in that moment >> the drill pulled my body weight off the ladder as the drill handle faced to a "( 9 o'clock ) but I was fortunate. I don't know the power of newer cordless drills but the large size of an auger bit stopping in the wood is what breaks your wrist. I liked that you predrilled the hole. That was new to me. Be safe/peace
What is this, why would you want one? Assuming one doesn't have a wood shop with a lathe and drill press, wouldn't it be much easier to just buy a dowel?
Ha, it's for a treehouse. I'm documenting each step and unfortunately some of it won't make sense until I get further along. A few more videos and it will all come together. Yes, buying a dowel would be easier if you can find an 1 1/8" diameter one. Or you can turn it.

Interesting
Wait until you see it in action. Thanks for watching!
