I was thinking of trying to use it with some socket wrenchs. *I'm not
sure what this type of drill is called. I've always called it an auger
drill, but I don't know the exact name.
It has two teeth which grabs the drill bits. *I was wondering if
someone makes an adapter that would securely fit this drill that has a
3/8" square end for deep sockets

I know this is odd, but I sometimes work out on a farm putting in lag
bolts on fences. *My cordless drills seem to die at the worst time.
Utilizing this type of setup would help in a pinch.

A rachet has more extension and torque than a hand drill I have one
and by how far the handle is spaced I dont think you will get much
torque from a hand drill, is a vehicle nearby, a 12v charge adaptor
would be easier to charge up, or an inverter and 120v drill impact
driver is best, or a rachet would be quicker, and longer lasting since
it is designed for the job. Quickest would be a 18-24v Liion impact
driver, Popular Mechanics magazine just did a review of 9 of them for
bolts its the tool of choise, or if you have a vehicle a gas
compressor and air impact driver, the bolts will fly in place with any
impact driver.
