Title: K-Drill vs plate and hand auger
Post by: mt_ice on Feb 22, 2018, 02:07 PM

Saw this video and seems to me like the k-drill might be a spendy alternative anyone have both or used both and can speak to this guys findings?

Built my own cordless drill adapter for couple bucks. Attaches right to my hand auger. Working great. I challenged a gas powered auger and outdrilled 18” of Clark canyon ice at least 2 to 1. I do think my Milwaukee drill is the very powerful and doubt a cheap cordless would produce the same results.

I have drilled over a thousand holes, guessing with my clam plate, over the last couple years,  and never broke a trigger. Maybe that guy should adjust it so it hits differently to push on trigger. All my buddy’s have the same setup as mine , and I’m sure someone out there has broke a trigger, but I bet few and far between !!   It’s called a extension, then u can stand up like u are supposed to and save your back, I know it costs $15 , but it don’t cost $200 like the k drill!!!  Then u can drill 25-30” just like k drill, and it’s still cheaper than $200 !!
