bass pro hand auger with drill adapter

[xjam721]

I've been waiting to try my new setup and today got to finally try it out. It worked great I was cutting through 8 to 11"s of ice and cut 12 holes with an old battery on my 18v ryobi lithium drill I picked up two new batteries and didn't need them. The auger is a 6" bass pro shop auger looks identical to a strike master Mora just red. I would recommend the drill adapter and auger.

Nice set up- I have the 6 in strike master for crappie and a 5 in when targeting other pan fish, 18v snap on drill usually drill 100 or more holes a day 3 to 5 batts

For a cheaper drill and old battery I was thrilled.

All tools are cheaper than snap on- Ryobi is a lot of tool for the $

This is my six inch mora I made to work with a drill it dose about 15 holes on one batt perfect light weight set up for trout

The kovac 2 ice master is a perfect adapter. I would recommend it to anyone.

i tried this with my eskimo 8'' and the drill just drilled about 1'' and it stopped and started making a weird noise.

You really don't want to use anything bigger then a 6" with the drill setup.

[fisherhawk55]

6" is tops with a drill and you have to adj your clutch to the highest setting and your speed to no 1 at least that's what I use otherwise it will die quick or slip

This is my setup, never had any issues. We've done 25 holes and still had over half a battery left.

[perch_slayer]

is that an 8 or 6?

[Hyland33]

8"

This is my battery powered 6" strikemaster setup! I love it...I have had this attachment for several years now and this is the first year Ive used her...impressive!

Here's what I have been using this year, really impressed, the only issue is if it is snowing, but I am working on an idea to make the drill weather proof with some sort of cover. Over 40 holes and still going with 14 inches of ice. I have a strikemaster laser auger and put brand new Swedish blades on it. Very light.
