69.00 on the sticker, they may have been discounted tho, they were shutting down our hardwater section most of whats left out is discounted at this point

Think those Clam Gear Boxes will go up in price next season based on RR&D&D (ReRedisigned  & Development & Distribution ) so purchase discounted box and send it back for recall .

I wouldn't be surprised if the price went up when they start selling them again...

I received my replacement gear box. Anxious to try it out with Milwaukee and Nils 8 in.  The extra products that came with the new box were a really nice touch. Even though the origional box had issues, Clam handled this really well from my perspective. Hope the new box works as well as the Customer Service on this issue.  Good job Clam. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Something to think about, might be worth it.. I paid $62 for mine and ended up with over $100 Clam gear... The hoodie alone is worth it...

Glad they're getting it straightened out!!!

So......anyone think the milwaukee fuel 1200in/lb brushless drill on a clam plate with a gear box could maybe run a 10in nils auger?

Be perfect setup for the wheel house.

After running my rig, and everything everyone says about how easy Nils turn, I think it's entirely possible..

There is also that Ice Kicker rig, with a 2.5 to 1 ratio, just a lil more oomph..

Finally got my replacement gear box in the mail yesterday. Took a while to get it. Hopefully these new ones will work good. I wonder when the warranty starts on the new ones. Ice season is done for me so no testing till next ice season.
