corded drill auger

[usneskimo]

Just curious if anyone has every used a corded drill for an auger and run a automotive jump start power pack as your power source? been looking in to it as an option. Just trying to narrow down which power pack would be best. Looking in to the units that are about 20 pounds to throw in a pack. Any opinions or inputs would be appreciated.

Too Much weight.

2x You would need that jump pack 12volt DC to out put 110 volts AC.  which would take a inverter, not cheap. You do NOT want to be messing with 110 volts of man killing electricity on ice! also a jump box is designed for a huge burst to start a car for less than a Min. It wouldn't even get an inverter to pop over and run 110 to the plug, thus killing said expensive device. Have you ever seen a guy on a boat or on the ice running around with extention cords? NO, do you want to know why, they only do it once

I agree with above posts.  Plus, you are going to need a BIG inverter.  A drill with any guts is going to draw multiple amps - probably need 500-1000 w inverter, big and $$$$.  Reconsider the cordless.

Last year I used my deep cycle battery from my kayak (the battery is from a handicap cart weights 12lbs) with a inverter I drilled 8in hole with a right angle it worked
