having subordinates is a role that is earned and appreciated I'm sure.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do so as to keep getting the revenue. ????

yep.
until you get killed in traffic.
limits are real.
I had a hammer drill of that style and make. It went through a lot of bits and would only drill a few holes per battery charge. We had to replace the chuck once and when I last saw it was due for another. When I got to my current job my first purchase was a Milwaukie hammer drill with SDS-Plus chuck. A bit more money but much better for the purpose. I've installed 150+ plugs with it using the same set of 4 bits (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", & countersink), plus some exploratory excavations in asphalt for monument recovery. The extra money I spent on the drill will quickly be recovered with savings on bits and service life.
I suggest that you get yourself another tool bag and a 2 lb drilling hammer, dedicated to the single purpose. Make it your plug installation kit. Drill, batteries, bits, plugs and hammer. I include epoxy putty and a knife for cutting a small bit off in my kit, but that is optional.
yep, I'm only sporting the cheapy batteries that came with it, because it is my personal drill.
When I first started the position, I asked where we kept the hammer drill etc for monuments and such and was met by uncomfortable silence...and a follow up " we don't really set that many monuments.."..was an interesting intersection of when I was learning about what I had committed to by accepting the employment offer.
Still trying to figure out my role here and where I go from there too.
Either way, yeah, tools are important, esp when you left the most important one in the truck.

Understood. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
I'm wondering if I should have taken the job at Clakamas county. That seemed like a real winner, just farther away from my life and sign other.
c'est la vie.

It might still be open.
