It builds up while I am drilling and then it won't cut any more
A guy on the nh thread was having the same problem with the 10" as your having. The slush would freeze and make it impossible to cut. When I use mine after i drill a hole and pull her out I keep it going a couple of rotations to keep the crap off.
i have a strike master lithium lazer 10in. i got last yr. and it doesn't do that. claims 56 holes in 24in of ice w/ 10in. bit. ion wasn't designed for the 10in. bit. they sell it but don't offer it in their line. heard strikemasters new 40v electric is even better than my model. cold doesnt effect the batteries these as much as the older ions.
Thanks for your comments, i will try the Snow Jet
I am DESPERATELY trying to find a 10". Tried Scheels stores in Indiana, online, everywhere. Apparently they are awesome and are completely sold out!! I did a lot of research and Strikemaster seems to be on top. I will wait until next year I guess, but am still looking. The bummer is, this year they were selling them with an additional battery. All for under $600.
