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.


Just cut the female end off a 3/8" extender, or grind off the sides and leave a
nub on opposite side to get a better grip in the brace.

They do make a tool which is the same as where you are aiming. A brace with a
socket end, essentially.
