I live San Antonio, TX. What is the best spade bit for breaking up rock? I want to go down at least a 1 ft and place 8" quick-tube filled with cement

I used milwaukee tungsten-carbide tipped drill bits to go down 24" into rock followed by demolition cement to break it up - we quarried about 50 tons by hand with this equipment

Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

You could probably damage it if you tried, but it can be emptied by putting you. I Rainer underneath and using gravity. There is no need to put a spade inside the barr.

If you are talking about the part you push in the ground you can't buy replacements. Here is how I fixed mine. I bought a piece of pie almost the diameter if the sleve the stake lashes into. I cut them about 6" longer then the tube and pounded them in the ground then I simply put the tube over the top. If your piece of pic fits snug enough this works perfectly. Take the tube to the hardware store with you to be sure you get a goof fit. Since pic does not rot you'll never have to replace these. Works great give it a try

Whether target concrete is raised as a step or slab excavation, drilling and chiseling will get the job done. My following note addresses slab excavation. By drilling an outline of area to be removed - say 1" to 2" apart using a smallish ( I used 1/2" SDS ) drill bit - your concrete will crumble when hammered with a chisel bit - I used 3/4" wide Viper chisel ). Removal of about .5 sq.foot took maybe 1/2 hr. You are removing about 3 times as much material but I'm sure you will excavate at a faster rate as you learn how your tool operates. Apart from perforating the concrete ( avoids cracks outside removal zone ), a sledge hammer helps greatly when broken concrete lumps lock up on each other. Good Luck !

These bits are for concrete drilling. You will need a drill that will be able to take a 1/2" shank for larger bits . If you're drilling many holes go with heavy duty electric hammer drill. If you're a homeowner go with heavy duty hammer drill 18 volt or above. Hammer drills take a beating don't waste your money on cheaper models. Go with any heavy duty model bosch hammer drill either electric or 18 volt cordless and you will be able to use these bits.

I have used a 1" drill bit to get through paver stones and cinder blocks. It does the job very well and most of the time the bosh bulldog stays in the truck. The speeds are great and will get you through stucco in seconds and is great for not blowing out the back of a stone. Wood drilling is fast too and rarely binds unless your using large hole saw or spade bits. I highly recommend this set, I have been using it for over a year on pavers, concrete, stucco, wood, metal, the battery life is surprisingly good with the 3.0 battery and they get the job done.

I would try it, I have never used that tool , I have always used the ( chisel and point) it will take care of most anything. The point will help you bust up concrete (Be careful and don't get them stuck). If you have a lot too do get a couple of each. They wear quickly.Have fun messy job:-)

I would try a lowes or home depot, local hardware store for a high strength carabener , may need two , im sure they could hook you up with something, take the chains with you also. I had to lengthen the chain that completes the triangle on the outside of the tire. Good Luck!

It's good going in. The problem is when they come out the other side they do tend to "blow up" the wood. Especially when they start to get worn down. I would not recommend it for finish wood. Any other wood is great. These are still the best spade bit with the threaded center that I have used. I usually drill through one side until the threaded center comes out the other. Then I drill from the opposite side where the threaded center came out of. Works great.

Digging holes in dirt/soil I presume? Sorry I couldn't say, however I did use a Bosch HS1917 2" spade bit to remove mortar on a masonry stair tread & it went through it like butter.

If you have room to maneuver the drill, the soil is soft enough (will not go thru rock or concrete), and the drill bit long enough, I do not see why not, but there are curved shovels for this that probable work better

Staples work best. The smaller shafts are less likely to split. You may have to adjust depth pressure

I just use a flat rock if I need something under my kickstand. We have a lot of flat rock here. ☺

I am puzzled about number of questions, I got about this piece of junk. Do not buy it. PERIOD. It is too small for a shovel bit. You may be able to get a small chisel to use as mini shovel. SDS is a system of grooves in the drill bits, allowing fast change and does not require tightening the bit in the chuck by rotating the chuck. If you need a shovel capable tool. Get this one -http://www.amazon.com/TR-Industrial-TR89100-Demolition-Jackhammer/dp/B002VN6TDG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1431540716&sr=8-3&keywords=demolition+hammer TR Industrial TR89100 Electric Demolition Jackhammer with 3 Bits Point, Flat, Scoop Shovel, Spade and Chisels, Silver, 4-Piece. I had very good luck with it. Still works about 5 years down the road. Make sure put the oil for lubrication.

It will do everything you want, with the right bits. A 1" pad is not an issue. I use it to put 4" holes through concrete using a core bit.I'm an electrical contractor. I drive ground rods in with it too.

Assume that's the size of a post hole digger, get the smallest bag (about 25 lbs) of Quickcrete (with gravel), takes about 1/3 of a bag, can mix in wheelbarrow
