Tool delivers the power of a 36 CC gas earth auger, which assures digging even and consistent holes. It is perfect for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs, soil sampling and construction projects. Tool can drill holes up to 8 Inch wide and 41 Inch deep. There are 2 speed options that is 0 to 350 RPM and 0 to 1400 RPM to manage power as well as run time. A reverse switch of auger tool clears the earth auger bit from high-resistance soil. Tool also features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) system to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions. The tool also jam packed with features like built-in LED light to illuminates the work area, automatic speed change mechanism to adjust drill speed and torque during drilling. It has a torque limiter, which is a built-in clutch that reduces gear damage by disengaging gears, if the bit binds. The XGT system is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, thus allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. This system is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication and superior durability features to out power, outsmart and outlast the rest.
