Ran the 8" K Drill and Milwaukee Fuel setup with 2 5.0 batteries and 1 9.0 battery all season last winter. No complaints about any of it. Would never go back to gas or propane now.
yep i run a 8" kdrill 1st gen clam plate and older 2602 (750") fuel brushless milwaukee it was love at first drill also picked up the 9.0 ah battery this summer and their 7 1/4 saw love that too none of them are bad ; ie rigid , dewalt , makita its all about the battery
I have the 1200"# fuel as my Personel drill and the Dewalt XR max on my work truck. One doesn't outperform the other, they're both great drills. I run the Fuel on a 8" K-drill/clam plate and it has exceeded my expectations time and time again. It's a great light weight setup. Everone who try's it is amazed at how great it performs. I also have Nils that I run on the Fuel occasionally and as I'm sure you've seen, it shreds ice! I just prefer the slight weight advantage and the clean holes that the K-drill offers as my main auger.
Do you happen to know how much of a difference in weight the k-drill and nils are, either in the 6" or 8"?
What kind of hoops do they make you jump thru to get the warranty work done? What and where do you have to get the warranty work done?
Well the Bright idea of ordering a Drill that was refurbished didn't work out. Got it today and the chuck doesn't work. Turned it forever and it wont allow me to put a drill bit on it. Bummer. Called the people I got it from through Amazon and they tried to offer me a $100 Walmart Gift card. I told them I would contact Amazon and they hung up on me. Contacted Amazon and they got it straighten out and I am sending it back with full refund. This was a Drill with 2 5. ah batteries and charger and Case for $226.
