Default Drilling holes in PT posts

You don't say what size holes or how many.

Your 3/8 drill will probably do just fine unless it's a really
elcheapo. Buy 2 new spade bits of the size you want to drill - 2
in case you dull one if you are drilling quite a few. If you can
get one of the new Irwin speedbor max bits, they're awesome, but
pricey.

Would a 10 amp 1/2 Drill motor be powerfull enough to drill
holes into 6x6 pressure treated beams? I have several that I
need to drill holes through and I know my 3/8 drill would be
toast after one or two...
