I'm going to drive in some small augers & plates as deck footings (Titan deck foot). They came with a 1/2" drive impact socket. Rather than buy a corded impact wrench that I will likely never use aga
How about welding the socket to a piece of pipe that will fit over the auger shaft.? Iā??d be a bit concerned that the auger would pull out of your hands unless it has a clutch. Peace, Pat Pat Horne
Excuse the metrication, comes with being the other side of the Pond. Just been out to the shop to look at a set of impact sockets, metric not imperial, and I wonder if you could make up a 7/8 inch bo

Are we talking about rocks that could conceivably be dug up with a backhoe? If you do that and end up with a hole that's too big and deep, you can fill in the extra with gravel. If we are talking abo

I got around low air flow on a small pancake air compressor I use on a Habitat construction site to run air nailers. I just add a second tank near where air is needed with a hose to the compressor. I
