The sds max shank ground rod driver will fit a sds max drill.

Ground rod hammer drill.

Drive the rod into the ground. The style of the shank should match the style of the hammer chuck. Please contact your local home depot or dewalt at 1 800 433 9258 for any further assistance. Pull the drill out and just drop the ground rod in.

The sds max bits will fit all brand of sds max rotary hammers made by dewalt. From then on you can drill an eight foot hole in about a minute to two minutes. Make sure you put the drill in hammer only no rotary action and your are set to go. Sds plus coupling mates right up to my cordless hammer drill and is excellent for driving copper clad steel ground rods in the field.

The electrical code states that it must have 8 feet 2 4 m of contact with the ground. You need to drive your rod all the way into the ground. Forcing the drill can plug the end or in some cases bend the conduit. Using your hammer drill or driving tool gradually drive the rod vertically into the ground.

Works for both 1 2 inch and 5 8 inch rods it sure beats swinging a sledge hammer.
