I searched and didnt find any info on it so I'm posting here. Does anyone use a gas auger bit on their Milwaukee Fuel 2700/2800 series drill/drivers? Any issues?
I have a 5" lazer gas auger bit and a 8.25" chipper style auger bit. The powerhead died and they're just sitting in my basement. Wondering if I can use these without any issues. I'd want the 8.25" laying boards for pike. The 5" for panfish.
TIA

the 5 shouldnt be an issue. But the chipper would be too much for the drill imo. the chipper just takes too much power to turn.

I have a 6” chipper blade from a Strikemaster auger on a Milwaukee Mud Mixer drill head. It works great! Plenty of power and RPM to drill through 12” of hard ice in seconds!! I have the power head still, but don’t think I’ll ever use it again. Thinking of posting it here in For Sale if you’re interested.

Yes, you do need an adapter. I got mine on Sportsmans Guide website , made by Strikemaster.
