Yeah buddy. Vertigo is under control. Gonna ice fish as much as possible. Gotta make up for last year.
So found the link to the Rigid warranty on another thread. This paragraph voids out how AWESOME Rigid is.Here is the rest of the "Lifetime warranty". Kinda reminds me of your boots. Rigid decides the "Lifetime"https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/full-lifetime-warranty
I thought you were dedicating your ice season to that craft you bought? You can't be buying fancy drill augers if you own a boat!!!
You guys use those drills in speed 1? (Low gear)I burn up drill clutches left and right, and I m only drilling metal studs up to 2 1/2" tops, and not the heavy gauge ones. If I lay into it too much, it overheard and shuts down for a few minutes. I use speed 2 just so I don't tear up a wrist, maybe I'm doing that wrong. I got to see one of the drill setups in person, and how well it can handle the task.
wow, is that a 1/2" chuck!
I think I'm done carrying around those super powerful, reliable, strong torque power augers (propane or gas) Even though my first one lasted over 15 years cutting 10's of thousands of holes (9").
I had a dream...went down to my favorite piece of ice and everyone was using a hand blender with auger attachment! Meanwhile on shanty a debate raged on about whos blender had the best warranty!
I think I'm done carrying around those super powerful, reliable, strong torque power augers (propane or gas) Even though my first one lasted over 15 years cutting 10's of thousands of holes (9"). Does anyone know where I can get an attachment for my new "Hercules powered" drill, ( 9" auger blade)
10's of thousands of holes equates to roughly 8-10 holes per trip if you fished every day starting in Dec till the end of March, without missing a day, for 15yrs.Thats alot of fishing good sir.
I know you like formulas & statistics. I'll do my best to shed light on the matter. Note that these figures are approximate. I can't remember every season by heart.If I go by how some seasons have run in the past. Half of December, all of Jan, Feb, March, half of April. This is every weekend and estimating 2 days during the week (some years more than 2 weekdays) . That's 48 days per season (sometimes more). After speaking to the wife, she told me the auger was 17 years old, not 15 (same age as my daughter). So we take 48 days at usually 15 holes per day, that's 720 holes per season. Now multiply that by 17years, its 12,240 holes. Now for the fun part, My friend Rich doesn't own an auger and only fishes when I go. Let's say he fished half the amount I did, that's another 6,120 holes in 17 years. Total being 18,360 holes! Let's break it down a little bit. If I only cut 10 holes per day, that's 8,160 + Rich 4,080 total being 12,240 holes. So I'll stick to my original estimate of 10's of thousands. 👍👍🍻🎣😎 P.S , I forgot to tally in all the holes for other friends and strangers that I've cut holes for. Add 25-50 holes per year for a good estimate.
Whoa good sir, here i thought this was a post that was about auger ball busting
