Don't waste your money on an gas or propane auger. Auger and Milwaukee fuel drill. Best investment I ever made especially if you just fish mostly in Nebraska
Do you have any experience with Eskimo? I found a site with the 33c for $260 and the 43cc for 290 with free shipping. Is there much of a difference between the two?
Is there something about the fuel drill by Milwaukee??? I only see it offered in the 18 volt model. I was thinking that they offer a 28 volt model, would that be better or is there something special about the 18?
I went looking online and the only auger I saw was a Clam 6" bit auger with a handle. Can I covert any hand auger to fit an 18v drill? The Clam seemed like the only thing specifically made to be put on a drill. Or would I need something to convert the other hand augers? I love the idea of using a drill instead of a gas auger.
Check out the K-Drill. 6 or 8 inch. No need for the Clam Drill Plate. Just need a good high torque drill, Like the M-18 Fuel. I have both and they are awesome. With the Clam Drill Plate you can convert any hand auger to use with a high torque drill.
I have ran the clam plate for 3 years and will never go back to a gas auger. I dont agree that you need a milwaukee fuel drill, I grabbed my 18v dewalt lithium batteried drill off my shelf and I can get about 30 holes in 6" of ice on one battery. I will be damned if I ever drill more then 15 holes in an outing. I take two batteries in case. But never ran out of juice. BTW I'm using an 8" auger. I run the laser auger, never tried a nils.
Now, I know what "my problem is"! HA!Fortunately my health is going downhill with age and soon I'll find salvation as I won't be able to drill more than 15 holes in an outing with my 4 stroke Honda Lite gas drill.Showdown56(Jes funnin' witchya, Jake!)
thanks... you may have saved me a ton of money. I have a Dewalt, and the Mora hand auger... there is a 17.00 adapter for a drill, but I think the clam plate is the answer. I don't want to pay 67.00 for the plate when the 17.00 adapter would work but I hear a bunch of guys saying that the drill alone will snap your wrists off! Spend the money on the plate and not the drill!!!
Could be worst then that!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ3MIXMbya4You see his glove get torn off lol !!!<°)))>{https://youtu.be/IMaAtCtkB4A
