We had an Amish group build a storage building recently. They had a Stihl gas circular saw and a Dewalt compound miter saw with a 4 stroke Honda Engine. From discussions they have had someone fabricate the components to adapt the Honda to the miter saw. It worked well. not sure about the Stihl circular saw.No this is the wood boring one, I think its the same, without the side arm handle and the earth bit.

Gas drills were all we used for drilling and framing poles that were not bucket truck accessible then Milwaukee came out with the Fuel brushless battery powered drills and the rest is history, no more gas drills.
We liked the cordless drills so good but when Milwaukee came out with a big impact with a 1/2 hex tip that takes our utility bits thats what we went to, the problem we always had with the gas drills started when ethanol gas became the norm, it caused us problems with all of our gas engines because nothing is worse than being 50' up a pole and the gas drill wont run since the next option was drag out an extension cord and generator, we finally figured out about ethanol free gas for our small engines but by then we had already switched out all the old gas drills.Yes, the cordless drills have replaced the gas. I’ll tell you this much, the gas drill is way more powerful and the size of it really makes a difference when bearing down with it in telephone poles. It just chews right through.
Battery drill kind of jerks around and the speed varies quite a bit.
No doubt cordless drill works great indoors and is lighter, but this thing has it’s place for certain jobs. It’s in my service truck to stay (but so is the DeWalt 60V drill lol)
Me too..i have seen rea linemen drilling holes upon the poles.
Isn't that an earth auger for planting flower bulbs? My employer has one.
