Title: Should I buy the new lite flite auger
Post by: Mrpike1973 on Sep 24, 2019, 10:29 PM
So I was pretty set on getting the new lite flite auger. however not sure it will fit a clam plate you would think they would want it to fit there other lazer augers I believe you need the adaptor or is that just for K drills? I know the regular lazer is only a few pounds more but no center bit after what Eskimo did about the pistol bit I believe I will not be buying any more of there products. $180 is a lot for 2 blades and plastic but it is lite your thoughts

I remember using a lazer for a bit  I was on dirty ice and after 1 try could no longer cut this would mean I should stay with the shaver style blade live in central mn seems like a lot of open winters lately.

Based on this video I would think that the Kdrill to clam plate would be what would work

I would love to have someone confirm that the Kdrill adapter will work.  I'm one adapter away from buying the Lite Flite and that would sell me on one right now!  I love the Lazer and can't wait to have a lighter version.  I personally haven't had many issues with dulling blades that are rendered nearly useless.  Especially if you get them sharpened every once in awhile and have a spare set just in case.

I just love the speed of them

Looks like its the NDA-3 adapter...18mm and 22mm I am assuming the Clam Plate to Kdrill adapter is 22mm

Ok ..I removed the powerhead off my StrikeMaster Mag 2000 8 in Chipper ..and I was able to put in the Kdrill's Drive Adapter ..the holes lined up and I was able to apply/tighten the Allen bolt ..no slop fit perfect

https://kdrillauger.americommerce.com/drive-adapter-38

so using the above link/Kdrill to Clam plate adapter in my previous post should be fine ..NOTE there is another adapter to Clam Plate that probably will not work .

At my local Bass Pro Shops I see there are this StrikeMaster LITE-FLITE 8" LAZER auger in stock, and on the package it says

"includes NDA-3 Two Stage Drill Adapter"

Does this adapter directly fit the CLAM auger drill plate?

Thanks

No ..you will need the K-Drill to Clam Plate adapter...the Lite Flight will bolt directly to a auger power head(gas/propane/electric) 22 mm...

I have the kdrill adapter for my lite flite/clam plate combo. Works great. I also have the kdrill extension and it works well with the lite flite as well.

The one you posted could work just fine ..if you can get it and the store will take it back EZPZ if it should not work I would try that ..unless you can search and find the adapter I posted ..

I believe FishUSA (site sponsor) has them and ships up that way ..

Thank you, and yes I will try find the one you posted (the one I posted above from K-Drill is also from USA, asking for over $40 U.S. to ship to Canada!:-)

Yes I will.

(I mean $45 U.S. for shipping, that's real highway robbery in my book!:-)
