The earth auger delivers the power of a 36cc gas earth auger, digging even and consistent holes. It is ideal for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs, soil sampling, and construction projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eThe GGD01M1 can drill holes up to 8” wide and 41” deep. The extension bar, auger bit and blades are sold separately. There are 2 speed options (Low: 0-400 RPM, High: 0-1,500 RPM) for power and run time management A reverse switch clears the earth auger bit from high-resistance soil. The earth auger features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor delivers power of a 36cc gas earth auger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTSMART: Automatic Speed Change technology adjusts drill speed and torque during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTLAST: XPT is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrill holes up to \u003cspan\u003e8\" wide and 41\" deep (extension bar, auger bit and blades sold separately)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 speed options (Low: 0-400 RPM, High: 0-1,500 RPM) for power and run time management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eHigh performance digging with even and consistent holes for landscaping, construction and soil sampling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eIdeal for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs and construction projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eReverse switch for clearing earth auger bit from high resistance soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"dyn-expand\"\u003eTorque limiter;
