Will this auger work for use in compost bin with a 3/8's cordless drill?

Yes, I have three 55 gallon compost barrels. I use this auger for mixing and aeration. It brings up the decomposing, microbe laden material from the lower part of the barrels, mixes it with the new clippings at the top and aerates the compost at the same time. I use a 3/8", 18 volt, cordless drill to power the auger and I can take care of all three barrels in less than 10 minutes.

I haven't tried to use it on a compost heap, I use it for digging holes for planting roses and other plants so I think it should be fine with a compost heap.

Yep. I used it to dig a horizontal tunnel for PVC drainage pipes underground. Used a corded drill and will rip your arm off if you hit a root.

The shaft of the auger is 3/8" diameter and the end that fits into the drill is closer to 1/4".

yes. it would be great for that. if you use it for bulbs, i would recommend a drill with a handle, when it bites it hurts, but for breaking up garden soil or compost any drill would work great.

Yes it will hold a 3/8 drill but not sure of the size of grinding bit or wire wheel you will use.

I bought to use with a 1/2 rockwell drill, and a b/d battery powered hand drill.....I,ll be using mine tomorrow to replace the floor inside of a closet...

Yes, this also works well as a drill. I used it to pre-drill holes into aluminum balusters using the DEWALT DW2551 6 Piece 1/16-Inch to 1/4-Inch Hex Shank Twist Drill Assortment. You have to use drill bits that are hex-shaped at the bottom.

May can, but generally, digging in the dirt does take a little power, especially the deeper you dig with these augers. 1/4 inch drills may not have enough power, other than to go down maybe 4 to 6 inches (might be able to go deeper if you frequently pull the auger out and get rid of dirt). I use a Dewalt 18V cordless, (1/2"), and it works like a charm.

Will work fine with either size chuck. I prefer to use compact lightweight 3/8" cordless drills but as others have said, if the shank fits a 3/8" chuck, it'll certainly fit a 1/2" chuck.

As long as it's 18 volt batteries this will work on it. I had a cordless hammer drill and these batteries work amazing. Best investment I have ever made.

Motor will work idk which direction your auger turns, but if the motor turns the wrong way, the included instructions w most motors explain how to reverse the polarity. Its quite easy and usually only requires a screwdriver.

no way!, this is a hammer drill , i HIGHLY recommend against using this for screws. Use a smaller 3/8 power drill like this one PORTER-CABLE PC600D 6 Amp 3/8-Inch Variable Speed Drill However i always recommend using a cordless drill for installing/taking out screws. If your drill does not have enough power it may seem that way for other reasons, maybe the batteries are not good, or maybe your screws are big and need to be pilot drilled first.

I doubt this would work well in compacted soil like under a walkway. A standard drill would not work. You would need a drill with high torque and an auxiliary handle to keep it from twisting your wrist.

It depends on your application. If drilling into lose dirt, sandy soil, it should work as long as there is the correct chuck. Battery driven drill typically has lower torque than AC driven hand held drill. What you need to be particularly careful is not hurting your wrist, as to operate it, quite large torque is involved.

It will fit in any 1/2" drill. Should fit in a 3/8" too, but having the power of a 1/2" helps. If you are planning on boring holes to water trees and shrubs, I found that I did not need this to pre-drill hole for the tree root waterer as the stream of water made it's own hole.

yes but be sure the shaft has a hole in it to hook to the auger good luck i wish i could fix it for you

It will work, but it is a big heavy tool. I use mine to drill concrete and mix thinset(the real reason I bought mine-I burned out two 1/4 drills mixing thinset). I use a Bosch battery powered drill for all other jobs.

YesI use the same battery for my 3/8" Drill too. The battery usually lasts about 4 hrs on this Impact Driver with average use.

If you have a 1/2 inch drill that you can chuck the auger more than hand tight and the drill has an auxiliary second handle , then I'd say yes. Anything less than that detracts from your successes. I personally would not want to use this auger with a one handled drill. You could hurt yourself.
