Seems like it might be a bit unwieldy, trying to operate the drill with one hand while keeping tension on the line and balancing the tip-up & spool with the other. Great idea, especially when fishing w/ tip-ups in deep water. Just curious.

Even with the variable speed trigger on most drills it is probably a learning curve at best and a two man job at worst.
