It is that rigid drill in the link and i believe the torque is 450 in/lbs. The auger is a 6" Eskimo with new sharp blades.
I just to a new Clam Plate auger and paired it with my Rigid 18v drill and am having some problems. After only about 5 seconds of drilling the drill stops as if the battery is dead. I let it rest for a few seconds and start drilling again for about 5 seconds before it dies again. I was able only to get about 3 holes out of a 1.5 amp hour battery this way. Today I bought a 4 amp hour battery for the drill and was able to punch out 4 holes uninterrupted but on the 5th hole the drill stopped mid way, although the battery indicated full.My question is; does this sound like a broken drill or does my Rigid 18v drill just not have the balls for this application?any insight is greatly appreciated
