I’d like to see how that works on arealistic yard n not a preprepped layer of top soil
Clearly no flint rocks in that flower bed!🤣 I have destroyed a set of post hole diggers in my yard.
In a real soil with stones you would lose a foot with that tool...
It wouldn't work, cool idea but that's clearly only going to work with really super soft dirt ONLY!
Sandy soil such as on the east coast, you use this all day. It would be speedy, but so is a post hole digger there.
I grew up in Tehama County, CA, where I described the soil as “Tehama County Gravely Asphalt”.
Wouldn't work if you hit a stone. Demo looked like it was used on soft , aggregate free soil.
Pure Genius...Glad I watched this before I bought a Post Hole Digger.
The long pilot beneath the auger is great for stability and straightness of cut. Excellent tool.
Your Wright,It also prevents throwing away the blade and also prevents accidents.
@@MRworkshop2001markravishan You go dude! Ignore the couch potatoes! 😂
Works great in already tilled and loose dirt and top soil. Introduce that weapon to clay or even Arizona packed desert dirt, and things will go much different.
I thought the same thing. Great, you have a tool that will make a shallow round hole in loose tilled dirt!
When I need a post hole digger I just cruse the Home Depot parking lot
ahh you mean my fellow border brothers..
@@miguelcastaneda7236 I thought he was talking about a lot lizard.
That's the truth....that's why there here...
😆😅🤣😂
I just dug some major pain post holes with lots of smaller tree roots. I think your solution would've saved me some serious aggravation.
It would have in fact not.
Might have caused more loosing a foot he is showing it in loose dirt with no rocks, roots, or clay. Your only holding it by a little drill with no support with a saw blade four feet away right you go ahead and use it I value my limbs ...
@@peterrivney552 let me guess.... Couch Potato, Right???? Lmfao 🤣
This deserves a BIG --- LOL, it’s all about the soil (as mentioned in other posts) try doing that in my ground, it’s jackhammer, post hole digger, and solid metal rod about 6ft long. Then prepare to be there for hours on end.
why did you weld it so it has to turn counter clockwise which will generally loosens the drill chuck?
Could have drive to the furthest Home Depot, bought a shovel, drive home, made lunch, dug 4 holes by the time he was done crafting this.
But I’m not crazy at all so this is still cool to see anyways
Thanks
Ahould cut roots but rocks will cause it to bend or split. Even if it holds up, post holes are generally 2-4’ deep.
GREAT VIDEO!!! I was looking to buy a post hole auger but they are just way to expensive! The one you built is awesome, and I WILL be making one this morning. It turns out that I have a pile of old blades, threaded rods, and un-threaded, battery powered drill, and welding machine! I have maybe 30 holes I need to do. So for that little amount, I can't justify to myself to go buy anything. With me having all on-hand, its essentially FREE for me to build. Thank you so much for posting this video, you are saving me a lot of money! FOR SURE A BIG THUMBS UP!!!!!!!!!
I’d like to hear how it turned out.
Nice video, but I see few problems. First- be carefull with your electric drill, because you can easily burn it, second- not everybody have old spare saw wheel. So if you have it- it is good to use it like that, but if you don´t have spare old saw wheel- it is not point to buy it because it is quite expensive. Good for smaller diameter holes and soft soil, hard soil with stones will kill the electric drill.
Yeah, saw blades are super expensive, like $5.
A 7 1/4" saw (new one) can be had for less then $10. if you visit a construction site an old 10" or 12 " can be had for nothing.
I have one I made with just some sheet steel and I live in southern Nevada and it digs like crazy small rocks are no problem but big rocks can stop it.
But I also use a hole hog for the drill motor.
You spell that “ hole-hawg “.
Very creative I'll give you that. And for the area you are in it seems to work very well. But I can't help but notice that the spinning rotation is counterclockwise, and how the drill still stays locked and fixed on it and doesn't let go. Kind of curious as to what kind of drill you are using. Otherwise great job and creativity.
Thats dumb, try digging in hard clay soil with stones.
Unsafe. May lost leg.
May lost leg.
Take you foot off fast ..
Post hole digger/ foot remover. 🤣
Was going to put up a comment like " ugh,come on ,that's the softest soil groung over ever see. What, did you lay down on a garden bed for this one I mean come on!" But then I sae all the negative comments and I was like " wait, is this made as click bait l to get sceptical to comments?" But after getting half way through the comment now I realize that yeah you could totally make this work with right cutting angle but if you're around a shrub or tree with a matted root structure then forget it! Its a broken finger or wrist for sure... Pine tree growers be warned! But yeah, start off on a shllow gap in the disk edges and start opening it up...get to an effective angle that's easy to hold without too much instability and weld-in some re enforcement and 'as long as you using it on consistent ground' WAMMOE!!! YOU GOT IT BABY!!!
Thank you for the information.
You should make these and sell them. That's a million dollar idea for sure
Thanks my friend
Have you considered making one to sell?
Well
#1 your going to need a powerful drill
#2 your going to want leg & foot protection
#3 your going to want to make a support in the center area to hold
#4 make sure you insurance is paid up
Looks like he's in sand try that in clay rocks tree roots etc. What foot do you want to loose first ?
Gas powered post hole augers have two people on them have you seen how they kick back with two people supporting it this is a small drill way to dangerous...
Ive got some holes that i need ta do for fencing so thank you for this idea!
Would you say your ground fairly soft or pretty good an hard?
I dig some holes in grass field ( not soft soil little bit rough soil)and it’s did really good.
To dangerous for me think about what he is drilling in sand you hit a rock roots hard clay that is going to kick breaking your wrist or cutting off your foot .. that drill is four feet away from that saw blade
That's some nerve racking music there Mr work shop. Kinda like my brain on 11 cups of coffee.
Yes this is what I needed.
How did i not think of this idea
Interesting. Looks effective, but I don't want to risk my limbs.
How effective is it in hard clay. I thought if the shaft could be made of a tube, we could connect a hose and soften the clay
The music might be the finest soundtrack I have ever heard.
And? Whats the name?
Good idea ill give it a try. I have a bunch of saw blades I don’t use from buying power saws
Thanks for Sharing ....Like1 👍
thanks 👍👍
The soil being drilled seems to be lose. This tool should be tested on ground that has grass
Waw best idea. Senang nk buat lubang tandas
Just gets some top soil. leaves it for a week to get a few weeds. Shoots video. Look hiw well it worked
Everyone has a comment but that’s how inventions are made a little ingenuity and a lot of mistakes keep on doing you
Thanks my friend
Nice one! You could use a boat propeller instead! :)
lol is this sarcasm?
@@NSDaishi Just an idea :)
I don't know about post holes, but now I know how I'm gonna take higher branches off some trees......
When you're too tired to scoop the shovel but have enough energy to put a saw blade on your drill and give it a stress test
ahh like to see you try this up in big bear ...friggn soil is like concrete...i tried a pick.. for ten min barely dug two inches
Need a vice, grinder, and weld kit as tools and a then buy a pole an sawblade. Might as well just buy an auger.
Could be a toe hazzard
Love to see it in rocky clay
And by all means don't hit a wire or pipe
U loco lol
All fine and good until you hit the main electric cable and you’re sent to the moon😁brilliant though very effective tool
Great tool but will this work in my yard filled with tree roots starting from 2inches through to a few feet deep.
I don’t think so
That's nice loose soil why don't you try digging in some hard clay see how well that weld holds
All well and good but most places don't have loamy soil they have rocky soil . Even with an auger you beat yourself up
The soil is soft, maybe just use both hands quicker.
Is there a reason why u run it in reverse could u not just bend it the other way so it goes clock wise but its a bloody good idea do u think it would work with clay soil.
Yes you can , but you must flip the blade up side down and work with your idea .because blade teeth help lot to dig holes easier and if we only bend the blade to other way we can't get that support from the blade and it's little bit difficult to dig holes .that’s why I bend the blade to that way.
Yes I think it will work with clay soil because I dig some holes in grass field and it’s did really good. If you use a good powerful hand drill it will make this done.
Wish it would work in Clay. Good idea but potting soil is not a hard test
I tried it on a clay soil it worked, don’t try this in a hard soil that have stones. Small stones are ok not big stones.
@@MRworkshop2001markravishan for the real world that could break someone's wrist or cut off there foot that is way to dangerous and you could have a law suite against you on this ... Holding that drill with two hands is not enough in the real world when that hole needs to be 4 feet deep or over 1 miter way to dangerous hitting rocks roots or heavy clay people are stupid they don't think they see you in sand they think they can use it out in the field for fence posts ...
Nice video
Ahh humans. we get bored, stare at something while our minds are drifting, and the end result is A weapon of war...lol
Don't think that would work very well in rock infested red clay. Good for loose soil I guess.
I'm here in Central P.A. let's see it dig thru slate.
Or sand stone here in Westmoreland county👍
Use it in the Sonoran desert of Southern Arizona. Then I'll be impressed.
That's a nice idea....but, .........
CALL BEFORE YOU DIG!!!!!!!! You sure as bleep wouldn't want to come into contact with a direct buried energized electrical cable! You would be very surprised where direct buried cables, water lines, natural gas lines are buried.
Hey that's a good one I'm going to make one of those !
thanks my friend , try it .
I'll.make.sure to.wear sandals when i use that thing!! JK.... Thats a smart design/ build you did!
Hi...friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ කොහොමද ඉතිං .ඔන්න අපි ආවා video එක බලන්න ...ඉදිරියටම යන්න දිරිය ලැබේවා ජයවේවා නැවත හමුවෙමු ❤❤❤❤
Ok now that's cool af
Good for top soil only
Until you hit 1/2" diameter rock, this is great
Wouldn't like to hit a cable with that contraption.....
Hummmm, that's worth a try...thx.
Thanks my friend and come again to my watch our videos , ring our house bell 🔔.
Muito bom... Vc é muito bom mesmo no que vc faz... parabéns!!!

How to ambutate you foot with a drill and a sablade
I stopped this half way through and rented an auger from Home Depot.
Yooo, that’s genius! What else you cooking up in your shop?
I don't think you realize how dangerous that saw blade is that is four feet away from the drill and you hit a rock or tree roots or heavy clay it will take of your wrist or cut off you foot...
Why did you make it to spin anti clockwise?
Becouse he's in the southern hemisphere things spin backwards there.. just like water going down the drain if you at the equator the water don't spin down the drain ...
But I would never make a death trap like that he is in sand/dirt that is loose you get rocks roots or heavy clay that is going to kick breaking your wrist or cutting off you foot... Remember your only holding a small drill on top and that blade is four feet away
There's just zero chance of that thing digging a post hole here in New England. If you don't have a pry bar your not going anywhere. Great idea though. NOTE: I do recommend being careful! Crikies!!
I envy you folks that have workable ground. Where I live you'd better attach some TNT to that blade. It's all bedrock.
LOL I'd watch that video too !
I need to dig 14 feet, I will try one of these after my post hole digger went 6ft only.
I don’t think this will work for your work. Because it,s to much deeper .
Oyatath sahayogaya dunna ekenma.....
I wish my soil was that soft that blade wouldn't get far with my packed soil.
Luckily your drill has a reverse. (sarcasm)!
Ok that soil is soft as hell… cool idea but no small contractor or landscaper would use that
Do not try this in rocky , clay soil.... u will spend all the money you saved on post hole digger on hospital and surgeon bills
Try it in shale, even poer diggers take awhile.
Hope u don’t hit any coax cable say goodbye to comcast 😂
I'll be done before you even finish making that thing..🤣 Oklahoma hard clay laughs at that thing, it's toast the first inch, along with the hidden tree roots underneath that first 6 inches...waste of a blade and time...
Nice work 😍...
Subscribe my shit❤️
try it in clay
Woooow
It"good 🙏🙏🙏👌👌😁
Interesting idea but it wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell against some rocky North Georgia red clay.
what kind of drill?
In here i used a electric drill.
That was a dumb question!
The type you don't want after it burns out...
Dangerous but it works. Watch your toes
My yard would eat that blade for fun. Would be in pieces after 5 mins
That would not work where I live unless it can grind rocks too.
Any reason you got it in reverse
Yes,because blade teeth helps to dig holes easier and if we bend the blade to other way we can't get that support from the blade and it's little bit difficult to dig holes .that’s why I bend the blade to that way.
@@MRworkshop2001markravishan I was genuinely asking I wondered why and I guess that makes sense thinking about it. I have to do 8 holes next week but I have a slipped disk in my back something like this might work for me
Set a post only 12 inches in the ground! LOL ....
Now build one were is rocks
How to lose your toeses 😂

What happens when you hit a big ass rock??
Shrapnel, broken wrist...
Loss of foot or broken wrist maybe both
Hummm, too dangerous, ankles, shins, flying debris everywhere, don't know why someone would even try that..
You could avoid alot of work by using the post hole diggers.
is my friend mainly we can save our time , I dig 2feet depth hole just in less than one minute.
Not wasting my time where the content creator is either unwilling or unable to speak and articulate their process.
Yikes, I wouldn't trust those shotty welds!!!!!
Won't work on hard ground
That wont work anywhere in west tn.
Земля пух. А целину слабо дрелькой пробить?
Try that in REAL dirt
Exactly
I will
