K Drill Video

[Sebago Bait]

This is worth a re-post.  I have had my K Drill now for 2 years, and it has never let me down.  I haven't used my Eskimo Propane Auger in those 2 years.  These are fast, efficient, and weigh about 10 pounds with the Clam Plate attached.  Many people use them without the Clam Plate, hooked straight to the drill.  At this time we have 17 in stock as well as Clam Plates and the adapter needed for the Clam Plate.

   The clam plate is a necessity with the 8"!!  Alternative is a sprained wrist or worse!

my buddy has one without the plate and no problems but we're a little younger.

Save yourself 150 bucks and put a Lazer auger on the drill and save another 60 and ditch the useless clam plate.  Lazer will drill just as fast if not faster.

have the strikemaster lithium lazer 10in. and love it!

Not the fastest drill for sure. They have lifetime sharpening on the blades as well. The clam plate is nice for setting it down on the ice and helps with torque on the big drills. I have no complaints. I have an 4 1/2" and 8" Nils that I drive with a drill all by themselves (no clam plate). Lazer blades are not cheap. Sounds like you have something that works well for you, which it what it is about.

Clam plate as Wayne said also mages a nice stand. Keeps drill and battery dry.

This is a serious issue.  I have an 8” nils hooked directly to a Milwaukee M18 fuel.  Rips through the ice in seconds, but a couple of times last year the drill got stuck in areas where the ice froze and reformed several times so it was uneven underneath.  Wrist hurt for months afterwards, not too bad, but I work a desk job so I was able to let it rest and heal.  For someone who does heavy work with their hands every day, this could have been a major problem.

With no clamplate place battery along right leg . Fallow it down against your leg as you drill down . If the drill catches it will twist into and stop against your leg and won't hurt your wrist . You just have to be smarter then a drill .

I had one of those old side-handle Jiffy's.   On a good day they didn't carry well and you'd burn a hole in the front of your coat or sleeve on the hot muffler.  On a bad day you'd twist your wrist real bad and after enough of that you'd fish with only four traps that day. 
Don't miss that relic at all.

These new augers are real nice.

My father broke his hand with the 1 arm bandit. I was 6 or 7 we were on China lake chasing pickeral.a nasty day. It was a very long drag (for him) back to the truck. He got 6 pins in his hand and its never ever stopped bothering him after 50 plus years. We never used a power augar after that until I got my own many years later. He got a spoon auger which was junk, good memories

No problems here with the M18 and 8" NILs.  No Clam Plate.  i wouldn't waste the money.  Use the side handle that comes with the M18.  Maybe the K-Drill is harder turning than the NILs.  Get your muscles out.

I wouldn’t trust the side handle.  When mine got stuck, I was using the side handle and the part of the metal housing on the drill where the side handle clamps onto cracked and the handle tore off.  Torque on the drill is stronger than the handle can take.

Got to keep it tight - and regular inspections, just like any other equipment. I'm going into my 3rd year with it and absolutely no problems.

With those adapters does anybody have the the auger wobble a lot? My 8 inch auger makes a 12 inch hole with it, this is the second one after the first one did the same thing.

I can make two sizes of holes with my 6" Mora...

Low gear, keep it in place, 6" hole...

High gear, let it walk in a ten inch circle, 10" hole....

Don't let it walk...
