Can this be used to drill hole in the sand for beach umbrella?

YES! The highlight of a free weekend at the Ritz Carlton at Key Biscayne was watching the staff insert the beach umbrellas into holes made in the sand by a drill with the auger bit. As an avid gardener, I fantasized about using the auger to make holes in my garden for my plants. It is also used at flea markets to set up tents and even at circuses. I am excited about planting with my new auger!

I highly doubt it. You might need a sand blaster or other power tool for that...

You could, but I think this has more power than you need. I would try a rotary hammer drill (set to hammer only), with a chisel bit.

It would depend on wind. the pole can be driven into the sand with no problem, but if it is windy, you will need to use the anchor straps that are already attached to the umbrella, but may need some better stakes to hold it down. Hope this makes sense and helps.

If you are drilling with a portable hand drill it is probably as good as any method of trying to drill a straight hole. Just clamp it in place. If you are using a drill press it might not be usefull

I would guess it would depend on how deep. I've used mine to drill about (14) 1/2 inch x 4 inches deep holes into concrete without a problem.

The hole is big enough; however you might want to purchase two bags to hold the larger umbrella up. Our small umbrella fell over when we tilted it so a bigger umbrella would need more weight. Also you need to get the umbrella as far into the sand as possible so a flat bottom may not work.

When I bought my table it all ready came with umbrella hole. You can cut your own hole with a hole saw to the size you need, make sure to measure well and then cut the hole.

I wouldn't try to use this for sandblasting. It would run a couple of nail guns but not for constant use sandblasting.

Sure you could. Just use a hole saw to make the hole whatever diameter you need for the umbrella. (Drill bits would work too but not as clean)

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

Yes as long as u fill base with sand which can hold over 50 lbs. the only other concern is the screw that holds umbrella only puts pressure against pole so strong wind could blow it out what I did was drill hole in my umbrella pole so that the screw actually went into the pole itself and there was no chance of it slipping out

If you have room to maneuver the drill, the soil is soft enough (will not go thru rock or concrete), and the drill bit long enough, I do not see why not, but there are curved shovels for this that probable work better

We have this and fortunately had umbrella holes already in the right places so this slots right in. If you don't have holes, you would have to drill into the deck and install holes.

Should work okay as long as you comb the sand and make sure there's no larger stones. Also works best if your using coving as well.

It would probably work, it is kind of cone shaped, its 2.5 inches at the top and tapers to about 1.75 inches at the bottom, so when you put it in your table hole, you will have to push it down untill its tight, it will not sit flush with your table top, but it will keep your umbrella secure.

Yes; the fill hole is about a 2-inch diameter so is large enough to do so with minimal delays. Also, the product description states that it can be filled with either sand or water.
