i reopen holes for years on my lazers.
Still wondering if I can get a 8 inch laser power head bit to work with my drill?? I think the shaft couple on the power bit is 7/8 inch were the other is 5/8 so I would have to have adaptor for it made?? Probllay easier having a adaptor made turned out of steel then it would be to buy a k drill ?? Like a sleeve adaptor for a regular drill adaptor?? The sleeve would have to take up slack so it don't woobe like a duck walks..
Hey Chilly.. the 8" LazerMag ( power units) bits have the ripper teeth and will definitely work under a drill, at least my Milwaukee spins it with no problem. I run mine under a Clam plate and with the Clam adaptor. Wobbles a little as they all do but settles down once it bites the ice. No need for the high spec machine shop. This ain't rocket surgery. I'd take the LazerMag bit over a KDrill any day.
Not sure how you'd do that but let us know if you figure it out.
For sure will do..
They make drill adapters for the larger diameter Lazer power auger bit. I have one at home that I no longer use.
I'm giving a lot of thought lately to joining the electric auger revolution. I currently run a 10" Jiffy STX. I'm getting tired of lugging that tank around, and I have a permanent shack that is unusable for a good 15-30 minutes after I drill holes from getting fumed out.I'm thinking 8" Kdrill, but the price is pretty steep. Is there anything else out there than can run on a drill (DeWalt DCD996 w/4ah batteries) and reopen old holes?
That's exactly what I was thinking bUT maybe making a sleeve for the shaft so it don't wobble so much??
Well, I splurged on a 8" (7.5" 😤) Kdrill. The float on this thing seems small for the weight of the auger. Anyone add a plate to it to make sure it won't fall through if it slips out of the chuck? Or maybe add some pool noodle to the existing float?
No, Cabela's with a veterans discount. I'm picky about what I buy on the internet, this is one thing I needed to have hands on to make up my mind.

Model 30 Tecumseh? How much you selling it for?
What's the attraction of re- opening old holes? What's wrong with drilling a new one right next to it? Unless you're inside a permanent shack. If I can't kick one open...
