Well guys after looking around at adapters for hand augers i finally got a good idea. hope it hasnt been posted before but i just thought i would share with you what i made.
in my garage i started digging around in my old sockets and what not and found what i was looking for. an old 1/2 socket with a allen head on the end. i just drilled a 1/4in hole thru the center of the socket. works great. now i just need to add something just in case it comes off the drill.

That's pretty cool.
What size auger and how many holes can you drill?
-
i have a 6 and 8in. only tried the 6 on a about dead battery lol. drilled 2 holes before it died an my charger is stuck outside lol.
ill have a bit more info if i get a chance to go out this weekend.

Just a word of advice: Murphys Law says it will come off of the drill at the most in opportune time and when you are further from civilization than you ever thought possible.
I saw a rubber fitting that clips on the drill and adapter but I can remember where I saw it Maybe someone out there knows what im talking about and where it can be found. Dave
