I was thinking about picking up this, and would like your thoughts if this might be more than necessary for diggin holes.

Thanks in advance [Smile]

Wow... remember a few years back when the insane dude took a tank and busted up a bunch a cars cruising it up the interstate?

He could've done some real damage with this baby...

Go for it, Dave.
Think of all the sub (terranean) work it could generate.

I hear those things are also good for ditching unwanted clientele.

Dave,

When you were picking this thing up at Sam's, did you notice if it was the 19.2V or 20.4V cordless model? If you're getting two of them the batteries aren't interchangeable.

Posted by Dusty Campbell (Member # 4601) on :

Wow. That almost looks fake.

David, I posted a link on the cordless drill post for the new line of Rigid tools with interchangeable 18 and 24 volt batteries which I'm sure will result in someone assuming that all batteries are interchangeable. For simplicity's sake I'm sticking with nonconfusing tools.

And I thought these were big PHD's.

The caption states the machine was "crossing the road". Wouldn't that thing completely destroy the blacktop??

It's not only good to dig holes... try using this to collect late accounts !

I love it!
Nice pic Dan... I expected to see a 2 man hand held with an extension or something.

Thanks for making my day!

Hey Dave,

I love mine. I think everybody should have one. My van does lose a little speed when towing it uphill, but I always make up the lost time going down the other side.
