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...
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.
networking on the ice would be pointless but the probably will phase out the non n's in the 7 series to focus on producing a single line. However, they are coming out with an all season pack that will include the normal ice unit with ice transducer and shuttle plus an open water transducer and gimble mount. This way you can pull double duty with only one purchase.
Make sure you got the clam plate attached!
3 6 and 9 ah batteries. https://www.ridgid.com/powertools/promotions/Scroll down on this page to also see the 1300 In Pound drill.
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 knew you would be interested in this. I guess you can use those Batteries on the Gen5 we have now.
Just received my 4" laser today for $15 from Cabelas ...ok I had the help of a $75 gift from my daughter for building a shed for her. I accepted the gift but asked her not to do that again...dads do things because we care, not to be paid. She understood.
Why did you go with 4in and not a 6in? Hand cranking?
Boot STEAL! Baffin Shackleton in size 10 - $70.86. Buy if your regular shoe size is between 8 and 9. Please read the reviews and sizing comments to make an informed purchase. I actually own these boots in size 10. They are incredibly warm and comfy, but if your shoe size is any larger than 9, they will be too snug.https://www.amazon.com/Baffin-Mens-Shackleton-Snow-Black/dp/B004YGRAX6/ref=pd_ybh_a_39?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=XQH6ZMVRSRJFXV68VJHT
Are they going to be a good fit even though they're smaller than your current boots? I was worried about them being too small, i wear a 9 as well.
Pflueger President (newest style) Pressp20x - $39.99 or 20% off. Not a steal, but a solid buy. This reel is generally considered the 'gold standard' among affordable ice reels. Note: The 20X size only has 7 bearings. Larger versions have 10.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WHMG12?psc=1DN
Frabill 371 Straight Line Bro Light Combo - SUPER SWEET DEAL! @ $36.10! These normally run $60 - $80!https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XD5HPL6?th=1&psc=1DN
I would skip past the temptation of going to the smallest, 2020 model and go with the xx25 and up models. Loosening the handles to flatten them is much easier in all of the models other than the smallest reel.[/quote The new version of the 20x has the folding handle.
