Awesome, how many holes did it bore?  About 5/16" ?

yuuuuuummmmmmmm.... I loved visiting a sugar shack where they were boiling down the syrup.  Grab a board, load it with snow, pour a bunch of lines of hot syrup on there to make fresh maple toffee.  'cept you have no snow.

Great idea

I don't have any maple trees, but I've used my C15 to screw big-heel fasteners to hedge posts while fixing fence on our bison ranch.  My 2 batteries last longer than I do on 3 miles of fence!  [scared]

Love it!

But a question.  Is that video from last year or taken recently?  Only reason to ask is my curiousity and thinking that it might be early for sap running in Indiana.

I think normally its early but the last two weeks have been warm and the sap is running nicely.  The video is from yesterday afternoon and I have gotten 4 gal off that one tree already. I am going o try to get about 20 more trees tapped today.  The warm weather snuck up on me so have to clear some brush out before I can tap the rest.  I like using that drill for putting up grape trellis, have more of that to build this year too.
