why would any one buy a dedicated auger?
The Ion weighs 26 lbs that is not that much lighter than any modern gasoline unit and heavier than some. I had assumed that they would be under 20 lbs. I think something like the K drill would be pretty useful for the first month or so of the season.
Rarely drill more than a couple of dozen holes in a day, and am wondering how many holes can you drill on one battery charge?Also, can they be charged while driving in a vehicle?Thanks,Ted
Because they want one?
4amp battery on 6" auger with decent blades on a 600" pound 24volt drill does 50 holes in dry ice that's about 15" plus.wet ice takes that number down quite a bit.
Using a 6in auger I get about 40 holes per battery thru 18" of ice.
