    Hi all,

    I am driving an explorer and cannot continue with the jiffy gas leaks/smell due to my wife getting migraines from the smell. I am looking for a cheaper set up. I have looked at many different options. I think I would prefer a drill/hammer drill setup just due to being able to use the drill for other uses. I have also looked at a cordless mud mixer set up via harbor freight. So my questions are:

    I have a metal hand auger, the jiffy auger, and a drill conversion kit. So do I use one of those augers/conversion kits ornos it better to go with onenod these type augers- https://share.temu.com/IlIy3PbYcrC

    And what cheaper option drill do you recommend (mine does not have enough torque)? I was looking at greenworks (as I already have the batteries/charger system for my string trimmer): https://www.greenworkstools.com/products/24v-cordless-battery-1-2-hammer-drill-w-4-0ah-battery-charger

    As far as the mud mixer option this is what it would look like: https://www.harborfreight.com/20v-brushless-cordless-12-in-mud-mixer-tool-only-58152.html
    Plus batteries and charger

    Thanks for any recommendations

    If you ask me anything from temu is a waste of money. that green works battery will not last long.

    Temu was just an example. They sell the same ones(Vevor) on Amazon. Battery wise, like I said I have the system so I would just buy a bigger battery and use the one that came with the drill with the string tree trimmer. https://a.co/d/dSg8UDy That said I am not beholden to that choice if better suggestions are offered.

    For how much you’d be spending I’d look into just getting a 24V Strikemaster.

    They’re starting to go on sale new for sub-$300 and I’m sure you could find a used one for around $200, especially later this season.

    What B-man said except i would look for a 40V if you drill many holes.
