Just to throw in my experiences with drills powering my auger.
I started with a 12v Ryobi and a 12v DeWalt, not enough power, but by a fluke, Cabela's was selling a gear reduction transmission for their meat grinders which has a 6-1 gear ratio in their bargain cave so I bought it..
When I rigged this up between the auger and drill it worked fine, but only for 6 or so holes per battery.
Fast forward several years.
I still use the gear reduction transmission but now have a Ryobi 18 volt and 9ah batteries. I can drill about a dozen holes per battery of which I have 4.
