Did you need an adapter to put it on the clam plate? I was eyeing that up for sturgeon but was under the impression the mounting collar was larger diameter than a hand auger.
Yes you will need the strikemaster adaptor for clam plate but I already had one for the 8" lite flite bit and it's the same one for the 10" lazor lite bit.
Awesome, thanks for the info. Really surprised the drill gets it done without a gearbox, maybe this will be my big purchase for next season, if we have a winter anyways.
I already have a Dewalt grinder that came with 2 flexvolt 20/60V batteries. So, I ordered the DEWALT FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE 20V MAX* Hammer Drill. Hopefully, it's the right rig as I already have a bunch of battery Dewalt stuff. Using with 8" Mora bit. I bought the plate and attachments a couple days ago. "How much torque does a 20V DEWALT hammer drill have?DEWALT Drill: 20V DC, Compact, 1/2 in Chuck, 1,650 RPM Max., 1,650 in-lb Max Torque, Brushless Motor"
I bought the gear box, tried it and immediately took it off. I was using an old 8" Mora with it so maybe I'll try it again with my new lite flite 8".
The 900 series is what you should be looking for:I got this one (DCD999B)
The gear box shines on under powered/torqued cordless drills..or larger drill bit units 10 inch.I've looked everywhere online trying to find the Clam power drive gear box only to add to my clam plate (Gen 2). Gearbox only is sold out everywhere and on backorder at Clam Outdoors. I know it definitely slows down your drill to help protect it and supposedly makes drilling through ice smoother and eliminates the abrupt stop. But I don't think I need it with my Dewalt DCD999b drill using flex volt 20v/60v 6AH batteries. May pick one up in the off season if I find a really good deal.
