I just bought this Clam setup plate , a New Dewalt 20v , gonna try it with my Mora 8 in bit . I used a New Ryobi 18v Saturday and only got 7 holes out of 1 battery pack 1.5 lithium. Returned Ryobi today and bought the Dewalt . I can't wait to compair between the different drills

I have read the real issue is with the 8in auger. People are seeing MUCH better performance (20+ holes) with a 6in auger.

People you are not fishing for sharks! A 6" hole is plenty big enough.

RIfish · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 16, 2014, 11:03 PM »

Lazer 6 inch or Mora 6 which would work better ?

BaitBucket · « **Reply #34 on:** Jan 17, 2014, 07:06 AM »

Lazer. You may get a little "skidding" when you stater to cut a hole, but it will cut better than the mora. Also wont get hung up when you pull it out of the hole.

Dewalt 771 with 1.5 battery 6 inches of ice and a Mora 8 in drill = 10 holes

ridgid x4 r8611501k life time warranty on batteries and drill 200.00, bass pro 6inch auger 43.00, I drilled 50 holes in 9-10 inches of ice and still had battery left, didn`t even need the spare battery. This is awesome and my back doesn`t even hurt, love this setup.

RIfish · « **Reply #37 on:** Feb 01, 2014, 07:34 PM »

Should I buy a clam 6in drill ( that comes with mount as a package 79$ replacement blades are 20$ ) or a Lazer 6in 89$ replacement blades are 29$ . Any opinions?

kc_ · « **Reply #38 on:** Feb 01, 2014, 09:38 PM »

Are you saying you can get the clam auger plate plus the auger for 79.00? Buy it.

RIfish · « **Reply #39 on:** Feb 01, 2014, 10:07 PM »

Sorry , !50$ for drill plate + 6in clam drill combo in Reeds catalog or 59$ for plate and 80$ for 6 in Clam seperatly , I bought drill plate for 50$ at Bass Pro they didn't have the 6in Clam drill .so I am using a 8 in Mora

but its to much on the Dewalt 20v ( I got 6 holes threw 8 inches of ice with 1.5 lithium batt. today)I just ordered a 6 in Lazer for 80$ delivered on line. It is supposed to be delivered on Thursday

kc_ · « **Reply #40 on:** Feb 02, 2014, 08:08 AM »

I was just curious about the price.
I made my own adapter for my 6" lazer. Did 21 holes threw 7" of ice on one 3 yr. old 18 volt battery.
I like the clam plate though.

BaitBucket · « **Reply #41 on:** Feb 02, 2014, 10:32 AM »

Just got my adapter in for my drill. Attached nicely to Fin Bore III 6in auger.
I opted to not use the clam plate because it renders your drill useless for anything other than an auger. With this setup i can take the auger off and use my drill as needed.

Total weight is 11lb 5oz.

I will give its first try out next weekend.

kc_ · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 02, 2014, 03:46 PM »

Better hope that pool noodle will float that auger enough so it doesn't go down the hole.
When I made mine I drilled a hole horizontally and put a roll pin in it. So between the auger and roll pin I put a 7" disk. I have dropped mine several times but have never lost it because of the disk.

The upper roll pin has been cut off because it caught my glove and about ripped my finger off.

BaitBucket · « **Reply #43 on:** Feb 03, 2014, 08:14 AM »

Im going to be adding a disc similar to yours made of 1/8in aluminum.
Not sure if i want to go the route you went, or make is so it spins like the ice master adapter.

Townie · « **Reply #44 on:** Feb 03, 2014, 01:15 PM »

Forgot the manufacturer of this adaptor, but it's held up better than my drill over several seasons. The lexan disc has saved it a few times falling down hole...

http://www.farmandfleet.com/products/657280-hi-tech-fishing-11-power-ice-auger-saver-disk.html#.Uu_r8TYo74g I made one from a dollar store aluminum cake pan....worked well but got beat up ...so now I made one out of a 5 gal bucket lid ....thats working great ...if I could of found a frisbee that would be the real deal.

BaitBucket · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 03, 2014, 04:42 PM »

My concern with plastics is in real cold temps if the auger drops and that plastic plate shatters...

RIfish · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 08, 2014, 07:33 PM »

I put a 6 in Lazer on a Dewalt 20v and Clam mount and drilled 24 holes in 8 in of ice with a 1.5 battery

Cali009 · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 09, 2014, 09:22 AM »

I caved in and bought the auger plate and a new 6" more hand auger. both items where on sale. the clam conversion kit was no tax and the hand auger was 704 from 110$ plus i had a 25 gift card from xmas

we tested it with a 18v makita. we got ab out 5-6 hole on 2 feet of ice.

i will need to find a stronger drill on sale.

but it sure is nice to use.

I ordered the drill plate 3 weeks ago from bass pro and i used the craftsman 19.2 and it works fine.

i got my clam extension after my plate because they were all sold out. took at least 1 month or more to get extension after plate.

Does anyone know if the Strikemaster extension would work with the Clam Auger and Plate? My other question are the blades on the Clam Auger, the same as the Strikemaster and will they be able to interchange them

?

i think the strikemaster extension will work fine, just a fixed 12" length where the clam is adjustable up to 16".

if you have a big enough drill you can put 8 inch on it.
