finally went with the drill set up.
totally amazed by the power the speed of this set up. i can drill 3 holes to 1 compared to my mako 43.
weighs under 20#. i just cant see going back to gas. first outing i drilled 40 holes and still had a little charge left. i guess if you cant beat them, join them.
btw, ice kicker geared auger plate is amazing. should save alot of stress on the drill/bat.
only con that i can see is when you let go of the trigger, it slams to a complete stop. doesnt sound the greatest and possibly could cause some damage. otherwise super happy!
