Cordless drill ice auger
« on: Dec 22, 2010, 02:26 PM »
Here's a video I made testing out the Ice Kicker II adaptor, 36v drill, and a 7" Lazer auger.  For those of you thinking of getting a similar setup, go with the biggest drill you can find and the smallest auger you can get away with (I recommend 7" max, 6" works awsome).  I also recommend slowing down the RPMs as much as possible.  I use the 1st gear (slow speed, more torque) and even then it's a little too fast, so I slow it down even more with the Ice Kicker II since it has a 2:1 gear ratio and it's chain driven.  The whole setup costs me around $340 for the 7" Lazer, Ice Kicker II adaptor, and 36v Bosch drill with 2 batteries.
