Unit is powered by a standard two speed Milwaukee ½” Hole Hawg Drill 300/1200 RPM used by most electrical contractors.

The auger tip has a steel cone shaped insert that is cast in the zinc auger body to allow effortless attachment of the auger tip to the ground rod.

Installation Procedure

  1. Attach the Milwaukee Hole Hawg Drill to the driver assembly using the two rubber tipped pipe thread handle attach points on the drill with it set at 300 RPM.

  2. Set the driver assembly on the ground and slide the pointed end of the ground rod through the cam chuck from the drill side to about the ground rod center.

  3. Hand screw the auger tip on the ground rod until the threads bite into the rod.

  4. Lift the driver by the handles with the auger tip at the desired site of the installation and activate the drill motor with a clockwise rotation (this may require using the reverse switch).

  5. Drive the rod in about 2 feet and stop the cam chuck will release by a slight movement of the handle.

  6. Lift the unit about two feet and drive the rod in another two feet. Note: if the tip is stalled on a rock, then reverse the driver and pull the rod out to try another spot.

  7. When the rod reaches a depth of 6 feet, remove the driver from the rod and dig a hole around the rod about 4 inches deep and 8 inches in diameter. This will allow the cam chuck to drive the rod to the ground level and leave room for the wire clamp. Continue driving the ground rod to where it is below the ground surface.

  8. Attach the wire clamp and ground wire.

  9. Fill the hole with the conductive slurry.

  10. Refill the hole with additional slurry until soil is saturated. The job is complete with about one tenth the effort of hammering the rod.
