If its all you can afford, don't try to drill 30 holes a day and go every weekend.
It works in a pinch, dont make it your go to setup! Hindsight would dictate that buying a decent used gas auger would have been much cheaper! I ended up buying a new drill, and and good used 8" gas auger.

Fool me once....
