A corded impact will have more torque than that auger. A good cordless or air 
impact will run circles around the corded one. Can you rent or borrow one?  

Hand held augers are limited in torque transfer by having to use the operator 
as the reaction. 
Impact drivers us a rotating hammer, and can way out perform a regular tool.
