I finally upgraded to a drill auger! Went with the Strikemaster Lite-flite due to the comparison videos I saw and went with the DEWALT 20V MAX XR drill (DCD996B) since I already had the batteries for it and heard great things! Extremely impressed with how well it drills holes and how light it is!
2 additional drill auger tips: Keep your batteries warm and make sure you hold on to the drill handle with your other hand because if/when it catches it can rip it right out of your hand and hurt your hand in the process!
