The adapters and plates are still throwing me off. If I buy the M18 and a lazer, I'd like to try it witout the clam plate first. What adapter would I buy to use these 2 together?
Am I hearing correct that even with a Clam plate, the new 1200# torque Milwaukee can still be a handful occasionally if the auger bites ? That you still better hang on tight.

What adapter would I buy to use these 2 together?It sounds like a lot of you guys will recommend buying the Clam plate, but I'm thick and I'd like to try drilling holes with just the side handle on the drill first.
The current Gen 1 M18 Fuel drill already is a hand full when it bites. Best be ready when that happens or you will be thrown and shook like a rag doll on the ice.
Am I correct in saying we need to go from a 1/2"-20 female to a 9/16"-18? If so there is plenty of material, as the tap drill is 1/2 to 33/64". Piece of cake. Just getting back on the site, guess I have some catching up to do. Don't throw away the old clam plates, they can be modified for sure.
Ok guys been out of ice fishing for a long time. 63 years old and this clam plate and this forum caught my eye, first post. I have a milwaukee 18v fuel already. Would a Srikemaster lazer 7" work or is there something else in 7" that would work better? Would really like to go bigger than 6". Glad I found this forum!!!
Did you get more holes with the 7" lazer or the Nils? Thanks for the fast responses guys.
One more question. How deep can you drill with a blue Nils without extension?
Does the 7" lazer hang up on the bottom? Thinking of going 7" mora read they don't hang up like a lazer. Worried the 8" nils is to much for the drill. Maybe could drill more holes with a 7" also.
I haven't used it yet, and I understand the reviewers on Amazon may not be the best market for reviews on a tool, but so far, the 4 reviews on the m18 Gen2 are ugly.
I bought the new clam plate no chuck removal. Having problems with the way it fits. The shaft for the auger is about .705 The opening on the auger is .750. The auger wobbles which I think would take away from battery life. Was the older plates made the same way?
The bad reviews from DIY'ers and Contractors on the Gen 2 Fuel keep coming in. Are any ice fishermen using it yet, or is everyone still using the Gen1?
