Not necessarily a deal but Cabelas has the K Drill in stock now and I know a bunch of us got great deals on drills thanks to this thread and are looking for the auger part.

Since there are a bunch of us looking and it’s really slow on here I’ll go ahead and ask. Does anyone know if the k drill (or the others) need any sort of adapter for the drill?  Also does anyone have any opinions on k drill versus eskimo pilot bit or the strikemaster lite flite?

The K-drill ...Eskimo Pistol Bit ..Cabelas EZE drill..HT E-Drill ....Strike master lite flight all come with the drill adapter .

If your going onto the Clam plate ..The K-Drill ,SM Lite Flight need the Clam plate to K-Drill adapter ..18mm to 22 mm

if using the Clam Plate for hand augers and shorter composite auger drill units you will need the Clam Plate extension

As for the Comparison between auger drill units

All about the blades .1).K-Drill has Chipper style great for dirty ice Slowest and uses more battery ..2)Shaver style blade or Mora type ..Pistol Bit ..HT E-Drill ..Cableas Eze ..pretty fast and can be hand sharpen with some practice ..replacement blades fairly inexpensive . 3) Lazer/curved style blades or  ..Lite flight .. ..fastest but if used on dirty ice game over ..ie paper weight..replacement blades lil pricey.. I am not familar with the Razr ..but believe they have Lazer style blades .. next is weight ..metal heavier ..composite lighter . Having a center point is a great option ..most hand augers do not ..so skipping on glare ice is quite possible/dangerous . As for the Drill you will be using ..Brushless 725 in/lbs or better with 5ah battery or better..IF YOU GO WITH A UNDER POWERED UNDERTORQUED PICTURE HANGING /SHE SHED DRILL SET UP IT WILL BE AN EPIC FAIL EVENTUALLY..Buy the right drill and battery set up .

Make/Model                                          Price

HT Enterprise E Drill..   Mora/Straight    $$$
Eskimo Pistol Bit/ION.. Mora/Straight     $$$$
Strikemaster Lite Flite.  Lazer/Curved    $$$
K Drill...                      Chipper             $$$$

Thanks. I bought one of the Milwaukee deals you posted and I’ve used the K Drill my neighbor has and that’s perfect for me. I have almost enough in gift cards to get it for free.

The 2803-22 is the one I bought when you posted it (thanks again!). With 2 batteries and a charger it went for $159. I have an Eskimo shanty and would go with the Pistol Bit but I can't find one. I'm going to order either a K Drill or StrikeMaster Lite Flite today. I By the way we're not too far away - I'm in Albany so we should hook up and get out sometime.

Heads up if you use camofire to buy from. If you need or want the item you order any time soon then find somewhere else to order from. Yes, they do have some nice prices for some things but the shipping is absolutely horrible. I ordered a few items back on August 24 and they shipped them out on August 29 but the tracking shows I should receive it on September 13. Three weeks is just a little ridiculous when it is coming from NJ to NY IMO.
If I agreed with you we would both be wrong!

Agreed. Ordered the predator jacket on 8/28. Wasn't shipped until 9/3 and has a deliver date of 9/13 via Fedex from UT to NJ. I have gotten ebay orders from China in less time.

The Camofire site probably got alot of street cred from posts on IceShanty ..maybe a super influx of orders from members as well as looky lous. But good to know that they are slow . After looking at some reviews/comments on their site ...seems to be common . Also some online searching kicked up some return/replacement/refund issues . Buyer Beware .

I get emails from Camofire every day for the 80 items they have on sale that day. I will simply send them to the circular file trash every morning after this garbage.
I recently bought an item from an Ebay seller in VT. She shipped it that same day. Same garbage with the USPS, it was in Newburgh the next day and then it went to Albany passing right by here. Albany sent it back to Newburgh and Newburgh sent it to Saugerties where it has been sitting since Friday. It passed right by here three times so far and will probably be destroyed by the time those idiots get it to me. They will blame it on Covid or Trump!!! >:(

I envision the shipping crew sitting around drinking coffee and making minimum wage laughing. Snail Mail is certainly the option I chose as well but I didn't think they meant it!

BTW, The My Pillow guy is running lots of good sales also and doing the same with shipping and even worse. Allow 2-4 weeks for delivery and I am at the 4 weeks now still waiting.

I would be perfectly fine with graduating idiots as long as they have to pass a test to vote!

I do blinds and shades for a living and let me tell you the entire shipping industry is a mess. It’s not necessarily the shippers fault.  We’ve had stuff sit at the local terminal waiting to be unloaded for two weeks before it can be delivered
