Default Do hammer drills really work for driving in ground rods?


" The nut driver that I posted about was for SDS+ drills. Adapters
probably don't exist for the larger size of drill that you were trying to
rent.

You're still thinking too big, Rick. "A bigger hammer" is not always the
answer.


Another solution may be hiring a small compressor and an air chisel, or go
the whole hog and hire a Kango hammer.

Nope, we're still missing the point. Pounding everything into rubble is
NOT the answer to this problem.

Yes, I use a pair of gloves and a water hose, or a bucket of water.
