Ordered it today have to wait a week at 3 pounds to hard to pass up. My wife thinks I'm nuts having augers all around the house she does not understand. When I ordered it sounds like the top part comes off maybe work for K-drill don't know but will see. I have 4 augers now is that to many? It's a fun hobby if the Eskimo works out I will sell the K drill. The Mora I think is a great back up. It's fun when I take kids out ice fishing for the first time to see them drill a hole they think it's pretty cool. My wife says i need to be relocated in a witless protection auger program. Oh well.

Real curious how good that Pistol works. Is that the 6"? I want to get one if I don't get the Nero in a 6".

Mrpike1973 may the new Eskim0 pistol auger preform well for you this ice fishing season. Be careful not to get transfer to the "Dog House" by your wife. I also owned 4 augers at one time now down to two. I see another thread here on IS claiming Eskimo will eventually stop selling hand /manual powered augers . I hope when that time comes they make/design their augers so you can attach a handle and convert to hand power as a back up if you hand problems with you electric drill.The handles may become an accessory item similar to auger length extensions. Please post a review once you have the Pistol auger.

Mrpike1973 if you're talking 4 power augers you got me I have three. As for hand I think I have 6 or so. Tell your wife and she should be easy on you. I have two clam plates powered by Dewalt 20 volt. One is a six inch lazer the other is a 8" nils. Let me know how that works out I may need one.
