i just ran a search and found a great deal on a ridgid drill and driver kit you want for sure if your going to use ridgid brand for augers. they are giving extra two 4amp batteries in this deal for a total of four 4amp batteries at sale price of 250$ normally 280$ with only two of the batteries.

each battery normally sells for 100$ each,  buying the batteries in this kit assures the lsa compliant offer made from ridgid.

Note: Registration will claim the extra 2 batteries are not covered for LSA. You may need to message the Ridgid team from within the system. It seems they haven't automated it.

I had that model several years ago. If you look closely you'll see that the handles are offset. This requires you to have both hands in motion in order for it to work properly.  I hated it and ended up giving it away. I prefer the other style with the knob on the end inline with the the auger. Good luck though, I hope it works for you.

Sweet deal.

Such a good deal. Connect to a drill and you have one fast auger.

Theirs three or four kits now the one shown is with a hammer drill and 4 batteries and a impact driver..


The one for$ 278 has a reg non hammer type drill a impact driver and 4 batteries two are 4.0 amp wich this one was $180 aprox.

Then theirs one for 159.99 with out the two spare 4 amp batteries you could easily by the spare 4.0 amp Batterys for 99.99 but they won't be included in the lsa.. for cheaper then the one above I think they miss priced it at $180 the secound kit with the two extra batteries thinking it was this kit??  Don't know for sure??

Then there's 2 other kits with more then five tools in them for over 499.99

The two additional batteries aren’t covered in the lsa

Correct .. unless they come as a set with the $278 price tag they got now...

15% Cash Back at Cabela’s, Sierra Trading Post and more via Active Junky!!!  Today only!  Whoohoo!  Should I buy the HB Solix 12 or the new Ravin R20 Sniper?  Decision time...   Nice to have $3K worth of Cabela’s Gift cards in my back pocket for $2,400.  Total savings (35%) on the Solix would be about $1,015 and about $910 on the crossbow.   Gonna be a tough day I think. 

DN

How does the money back work on Active Junky?   I have 9 or 10 of the Cabelas $100 cards ($80) and usually wait for a 10% OFF day. 

I need some Swarovski Binos, I was saving for a Helix 10 Mega but decided to let that sit for a year, something better will prolly come next year...

Not sure how Active Junky works.

Thanks

ABSOLUTE STEAL!!!!  Eskimo EVO 1 IT - I just bought this for a spare @ $176 and it actually DROPPED another $4 to $172.  Lowest price ever by about $17.  Regular price is $329.99  Act fast.  It won't stay this low for long, I promise!

The Evo 1 IT is back down to $180.21.
I'm tempted, but just can't bring myself to pull the trigger on it. I really think I'd prefer a standard flipover. DealNinja- have you put yours together yet? Any thoughts on it? At this price I'm tempted to just buy it and sell it for what I paid if I don't like it.

I’m not thrilled with it, but had the same idea you have.  I could probably sell it for more than I have in it.

Cabelas rebate is 7% that would mean the crossbow was $6314?

Eh, after seeing your review, I'll hold off. Looking at a Wide One Inferno or Shappell FX100i. Maybe another insulated 1 man, but I want lighter weight ideally.

$2,944.89 X 15% cash back (at the time) = $441.73 to be precise.  To be clear, I also ordered two targets, extra arrows, nocks, sling and soft case.  The bow itself retails for $2,599.99.  The cash back percentage off can change daily from just a few percent to 15%.  I’ve never seen it go higher than 15%.  I was patient and waited until it went to 15%.  Was worth the wait.

No kidding! I go through ibotta, and from time to time they have 18%. That stacked with gift cards, and with the Cabelas 10% off then run occasionally, you could score some deals!

Helix 7 CHIRP GPS G2 for $299.99 and free shipping!

https://www.reedssports.com/humminbird/humminbird-helix-7-chirp-gps-g2-276541

Think they're blowing them out for a new model?

[piersm2]

Damn just bought this for $360

[JaminWI]

I was going to buy the DI model for summer use, but at that price I'm now on the fence. Waiting for Cabela's to drop the price so I can use my $100/$80 gift cards and active junky rebate.

[piersm2]

My guess is because of the G2N model, thats why they are dropping the price so much, and apparently they are coming out with a G2N ice model as well.

A nice deal from Acme Tools on TWO 9ah Milwaukee High Demand batteries and rapid charger!  $199.  Like I said in a post yesterday, I'll run out of juice before a 9ah red lithium from Milwaukee does!  All you fellows wanting to go the Mud Mixer auger route for this coming season, this is a great start to putting that package together!

[DBV]

That is a good deal.  I think they have new batteries coming out soon or now.  I wonder how much better performance they will be form the existing ones?

Yes, the new 12ah batteries are available, but imho, are overkill for ice augers.  For the vast, vast majority of ice fishers, the 9ah are even overkill.  I also have two 5ah batteries and even they will drill more holes than I care to drill most days.  Given that I can drill an 8" hole through 10" of ice with my Mud Mixer and Nils auger in about 5 or 6 seconds, even a 5ah battery will drill many, many holes...   Some claim that the more ah the battery is, the more power it generates through your tool.  I don't believe that, but I did do a test last year with the 5ah vs the 9ah in run time in my Milwaukee Wet/Dry Vacuum and the 9ah did run the vacuum almost twice as long as the 5ah battery did fwiw.

Not sure how great of a deal this is because the 3rd Gen Milwaukee Hammer Drills (2804) are out now, but the 2704-22 kit with (2) 5.0AH batteries are all over eBay for $190 with free shipping and no tax.  From what I've read, for us ice guys, the biggest improvement in the 2804 is the design in how the auxilary handle attaches.  Some people had issues with the 2704 handle breaking off, but never had any issue myself...

I don't know about the overkill Mark. My custom magnum K-Drill was just delivered this morning. Here's a pic of the delivery pulling in the driveway. Hoping the 12Ah will be enough...
