Time and place for the gas auger. I think everyone knows I'm a fan of them but my nils/Tanaka is collecting dust and even if the ice is 20" I tend to enjoy using my finbor the old fashioned way. However I do have a urge to get a Fuel or equivalent drill to par up with my nils...
I own 3 gas augers and an Ion...the only time I use either of the "modern " jiffy augers (the other is a 1 armed bandit ) is when I'm feeling nostalgic and miss the snell of gas and smoke...
you'll have to pry my 40 year old Eskimo gas auger out of my dead cold hands...burp
Does anyone here use Dewalt ? I am trapped in Dewalt batteries and chargers. I have a Dewalt drill but doesn’t have the balls for an auger attachment. I hand auger as of now but would like to convert to electric.
I’m using the DCD996 hammer drill (XR brushless 20v max) attached to a KDrill, I have no issues, yet. I’m still new to this electric drill/auger combo, but if first impressions hold, I’m probably never going to use my Jiffy ever again.If you’re still using the older ni-cad 18v system, I strongly suggest updating the drill & batteries to brushless & lithium. The new stuff is FAR more powerful. There’s a 20v/18v conversion kit available to still use the older 18v tools with the newer lithium batteries, if you’ve got a crap ton of 18v stuff you don’t want to replace.Or if you don’t mind jumping ship to a different manufacturer, it seems that the Rigid Octane is the strongest available drill as of now, and it’s reasonably priced to boot, as long as you buy soon anyway.
Thanks. I have the 20v max Dewalt set that I bought last year with the house... I might try the octane , as it’s cheaper than the Dewalt drill. Still on the fence anyways right now, might save the money this year and continue with the hand auger. Bought 5 lakers which isn’t cheap, plus I could use the excercise . Thanks for the help
Love my Propane Auger
What are you using for an adapter John?
