Good video. I still can’t get over how fast that thing cuts thru that much ice.
Cool, surprised you made another video though
Nice job on the video. It's making a believer outta me. But, I can't seem to bring myself to get rid of the lead weight jiffy 30 or my propane jiffy. Maybe someday though
That's a great video .I have the same drill. But with a k drill . Looks like you have it pushing a Nils??
Great video! I know my brother is interested in getting something Similar.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the 12 volt augers that can run off of a snowmachine or wheeler battery?I have one of the new lithium ion battery booster packs that is smaller than a small shoe box and will start a v-8 a bunch of times before it needs to be recharged and it can be recharged in a cigarette lighter outlet.95% of the time it would be run off of a machine but could be plugged into the battery pack
Thanks. Wish I would have switched a long time ago
Love your vids. Made me want to switch from my ion to one of those.

I geared up for this sport back 2013/14, and started myself off with a 7” lazer and a clam plate with m18 drill (725in/lb). I’ve yet to have it fail on me in the last 5 seasons. I can’t imagine lugging around a gas auger and dealing with all the gas and maintenance that goes with it.
Pike - did Ridgid extend the warranty on your charger and battery? I got confirmation on the drill but for some reason they are not confirming lifetime warranty on the charger and battery. A bit disappointing, on my list to call them.
Mine went through the same times a my drill. I did have to re enter my battery numbers a few times tho. They weren’t as clear as the drill was
I returned my Rigid to Home depot for full refund. and bought a Milwaukee fuel brushless with M18 batteries it worked well tru 30+ inches of ice. My 8 " k drill got forced tru too much slush and 5 of the fins which are plastic were stripped I have them on order for 5,95 each .I think I am very satisfied with its performance . The first two drills a Delta and a Rigid just did not have guts enough to drill tru ice. Just make sure that any one drilling lift out slush every foot so the plastic fins do not get overloaded. The drill cut very nice its lighter and no need to carry oil and gas. Hope for a better winter next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pike and others - just as an FYI, the registration of my battery and charger did not complete online. I called Customer Service and the feedback I'm receiving directly from Ridgid is that the battery and charger is considered an accessory and therefore not eligible for the lifetime service agreement. They will only honor this if it all came in one kit. If you're banking on Ridgid standing behind this product with a lifetime guarantee for the purchase, purchase elsewhere.
