For one thing I think it only comes with one battery. And after reading the review it might be a Chinese knock off, beware.
One of the reviews "product was a combination of fraud, and bate&switch."

Look at the product details it doesn't really tell you anything you are getting.

I've asked the reviewer to explain his comment.  The seller doesn't have much feedback though and third party sellers make me nervous.  I've had some bad experiences.

for those of you thinking about the 8 inch K drill auger remember the true diameter is only 7 1/2 inches and not a full 8 inches. same with the 6 inch K drill auger. that measure 5 1/2 inches not a true 6 inches. also when mounting a K drill to the Clam Plate you need to buy the adapter to do this directly from Vexilar as the K Drill Auger will not hook to the plate without it.

Either do a Cordless drill or a ION, here on lake st. clair cordless drills rule the roost. I use a Lazer Systhinc 6inch with a 20v Dewalt and love it. My lazer I was also able to put a power point on.

I have the Nils auger with a Clam Plate , Dewalt 20Mx Brushless Drilll & Adaptor... Great setup and love it. It's truly made ice fishing less strenuous.
