Hey, is that you? Sorry if I can't remember your name, I'm bad on names. If so welcome to iceshanty, best ice site online. I made a little modification on those jigs you showed me you made. Check them out, I am thinking maybe they will make a slight rattle or clinking noise since the eyes hang loose and move. Gona give them a try this Sat at the trny on Maxinkukee. You going to go? I'll be out from the ramp around the 19'hole. Was gona go to Nyona Today but didn't make it. Gona have to remake a few more of the left one, its to dark trying to get that slurple look.

Thats my uncle. I fish with him all the time though. He is using a 6 in. lazer. We finally drained the battery last weekend in one outing but it took 30 holes to do it. We will be out on nyona tomorrow morning. Not too sure which end though. Nice looking baits.
I've been using a Craftsman 19.2 volt for 3 years now and have had no problems with it. I use a six inch Mora and can get around 20-25 holes in 10" of ice. You have to keep your blades sharp though.
Since when does Craftsman offer a lifetime warranty on their power tools? Asa far as I know, they offer free replacement on hand tools, not power tools. You might want to check on that one. Heck they gave me flack when I went to exchange a broken tape measure! Don't buy one thinking you will get a free replacement, because that ain't gonna happen! I can't tell you how much I hate Crapsman tools. They used to be great, now everything in the store is from China ... total crap. Now they have made many changes to the so called lifetime warranties, so I've found out, the hard way.The only company I know offering free lifetime replacement of batteries is Ridgid tools from Home Crapo ...
I really appreciate all the input. Like I said, I have a gas strikemaster but with all the other equipment(viking 2man,UW Cam, Vex, minnow bucket, etc...). I just can't pull the load anymore with the gas auger and the hand auger bothers my back/shoulder. I am looking for other routes and that only leave the drill. One thing for sure, next year I will have a big drill. I see many used one sell at auctions but didn't have a need before now so I never bid on one.
I have several routers from them, and they all carry a lifetime warranty, as well.
You're right, I checked into it. They won't offer a lifetime warranty on the NiCD. They do on the LiIon drill, except the batteries. I have several routers from them, and they all carry a lifetime warranty, as well.
you need to understand sears has 2 line of tools proffesional and the ones that are in the store there is a difference.
I made one of these power packs and use the Sears 19.2v 410 ftlb torque drill. There is NO comparison between the home made power pack and the supplied battery. Like the guys thread title suggests, it's as if you turbo charged the drill.http://www.chitown-angler.com/1fish/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=46395
I was at Sears last week, talked to the Rep. On the 19.2 lithium it comes with a 1 yr limited warranty. Which he said that means if it fails they look at it and decide if they will replace it or not. He also said they sell a 2 yr warranty that starts the day you buy the drill. And if the drill fails in those 2 yrs its replace no questions. There was no lifetime warranty on this drill, no idea about any of the others.
i am going to try one more time i just bought a 20v sears proffesional hammer drill 540 in/lbs torque if this doesnt drill thru the ice i dont believe any will this has a heavy duty clutch system. any thoughts
