Drill adapter preference

[mvanhank222]

Does anyone have a favorite adapter I bought an HT and it snapped at the taper this weekend just looking for opinions. I am running an 8” mora on a mud mixer and need to mount a float or frisbee to prevent loss.

only one i ever used and it saves the bit from the dunk. it's the ice master.
you might have to get custom made hardened steel for the mud mixer because of the output torque.

I was a little worried about that I ran the mud mixer for 1 weekend I may have to try a few adapters. I will probably have to do some trial and error and report back. At some point once I get the mixer / adapter combo correct I will do a review of the whole setup.

recently some one here (maybe prospector) used a 45$ quick connect and adapted that into it. the auger was a different make tho. look for mud mixer here to find that topic.

Thanks for the replies. While I was out yesterday I picked up a Beaver Dam adapter this has a free spinning hand grip. Which is a 1” id peice of pvc with a large washer on either end held I’m place with a pin. I removed that as I don’t see a reason to have it while using the double handled mixer. I did leave the top pin and washer to use as a frisbee stop to protect from chuck detachment. It seems like a much higher quality product than the HT going to use it for a few weeks and report back. As a quick side note I really like the mixer so far but I want to get a full season before I make grand claims like “this is the greatest 8” ice drilling system imaginable.”

Just received my mud mixer. Ordered a adapter from Cabelas (Strike Master) that was supposed to be correct. Not , needed a 3/8” hole came with 5/16” . No problem make a bigger hole. It’s going on a 8” Eskimo bit. Hope to check it out this weekend.  I’m making up a 9 inch disk of aluminum to add on to the adapter.

I just used a Frisbee. looking at the stikemaster that would be difficult as it doesn't have a very large flange.
