Interesting and the closest I have done to this is a ballast mount.
I will say I have broken quite a few cordless drills and killed Lithium
batteries with big torque.
My vote is a genset/ extension cord. Good Luck!

Hi all,
I am going to try out the Nuance OSPREY PowerRack as a ground mount
option that does not require an excavator. I am wondering two things
about it:
1. Does anyone have experience with this, and do you like it?
2. What drill do you use for the drive rod?
It seems like the Milwaukee 2" SDS max drill is the standard -

I am wondering if it is possible to use a cordless drill though. DeWalt
makes both a cordless and corded version that claim to have the same
impact energy as each other, although both are less than the Milwaukee
Drill. Milwaukee has 19.9 ft-lbs of energy and the DeWalt ones have
19.4 Joules, which is 14.3 ft-lbs of energy.

Corded Kit -

The cordless drill is tempting because I already have a bunch of DeWalt
equipment, and it would be nice to avoid needing a generator or some
very long extension cords.
Thanks!
