Not everyone goes to a drill to save weight. Some of us don't mind carrying around a little more weight, and appreciate not having to drill a half hole to keep our drill off the ice. I absolutely love the clam plate, and would never consider owning a drill without it. I've hit too many logs just under the ice, I'd like to keep my wrists intact. Aside from the plates with the soft shafts like we mentioned, every other "issue" Ive seen posted has been user error. Improperly mounting the drill, not tightening the chuck correctly, mounting the trigger mech incorrectly (breaks the drills trigger), etc.
Very well put. I love my clam plate....but I bought when it was $45. At prices they ask now....I’d go a different way....or without a plate.
I had to look it up since you said that. They are 80 bucks?? I paid $49.99 for mine at Dicks.
Yep...Clam is so proud of them it is to the point of being absurd. By the time a guy gets a drill, plate, auger, adaptor, and extension.....The electric augers with power heads are cheap.
Lazer auger, plate, extension... $200. That's insane to me. if you go the fuel drill for instance, that kit is $230. So $430 for two battery setup, nearly identical to a strikemaster 24v and extra battery. I understand the multi-function use of a drill.. but still
Yep.....it's like ANYTHING clam.....Over priced and expensive. Besides a few adaptors for the clam plate....I honestly can't think of a clam product I bought in the last few years. If it is something new from clam.....well it's probably a product just re labeled and packaged like the leech spoon. Find the original for 1/2 the price.I remember when clam came out with the clam wheel house and basicly charged twice what a wheel house shell cost.
My Clam plate and extension are all I can think of that I own of Clam. I might have one pack of maki plastics somewhere.
