Q:I would love to review this auger on my YouTube channel, Reverend Colonel. I review tools and DIY. I already reviewed your 10" miter saw which is awesome I must say. I also run a small construction company and would love to see how well this auger is.

    A:  I don't think Ridgid really understood your question. Pretty much they say to buy the tool and review it at your own expense. No free tool for you buddy!
