We are getting into some pretty thick ice here. I want to hook a Dewalt or Milwaulkee drill to my 6" NILS. I can't find a dam thing on ebay for an adapter. So I am looking for part# or brand #'s to get going on this. Thanks in advance

i know its not what you want, but home depot garden stake, 2.70 , was tiniest bit loose in my auger until you put the wingbolt on.  I drilled it for the wingbolt and took grinder to make a hex chuck.

I've got the Kovac as well.  The bungee cord has saved my auger a couple times when I was just learning how to the drill.

I also added an adjustable clevis pin instead of the bolt to attach my auger to the adapter.  That way, if the drill ever died, I could quickly attach the handle back on the auger without the use of tools.  I forget the size, I just went to a local hardware store to pick one up.  Something like this, for reference:  https://www.amazon.com/RanchEx-102296-Universal-Adjustable-Replacement/dp/B073HC161P/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516715446&sr=8-1&keywords=adjustable+clevis+pin
