slipperybob, thanks for the update! so you like the aux handle that way, does it feel off balance much? that's what i was saying to the guy that broke his ear off to try.
Finally ran the battery down. Heres my cutting totals!! First day: +\- 50 holes in 7-8” of ice. Second day: +\- 30 holes through 10” of ice. Third day: +\-30 holes in 12” of ice. Fourth Day. +/- 20 holes in 12" of ice. Fifth Day: 6 holes in 14" of ice. All ice was hard, solid ice. The last 3 times I used this set up was below freezing. The battery still had a little juice today, but was cutting out every second or two. Id say thats pretty good. Have to say I chuckle every time I see/hear someone cranking on an old jiffy/eskimo.
still waiting for someone to try the clutch out.
One thing I’ve noticed about my Rigid after a few days on the ice now is that when the point of the auger is on the ice, when I pull the trigger it doesn’t always activate the drill. It does it sporadically and sometimes I can drill 5-8 holes in a row normally and then the next one the drill won’t spin but the chuck light does go on so it knows I depressed about the trigger. If I take the pressure off the drill and push the trigger with the auger in the air and under no load, it always will go. My Dewalt has never acted like this. Any advice or has this happened to others?
What's that dewalt model! He said rigid octane, no specify with dewalt?
your mileage may vary, and I would expect much more holes with a shaver blade, but I prefer to use the KDrill so this is how I tested it and how each drill handled it.I might pick up a 9ah battery for the DeWalt just so I can get a good fair baseline comparison.My thoughts on this. The Ridgid Octane is going to be plenty of drill for the vast majority of people and the cutout issue will be a non-factor. However, I don't think it can be ignored either.&feature=youtu.be
Wow!!! VERY unimpressive for a 9ah battery.... 14 inches of ice x 40 holes= 560 inches. I guess you get what you pay for, The Milwaukee does that many holes on 1-5ah battery and doesn't lay down on you halfway through the battery charge. Great video thanks for posting
I'm not brand bias. Only interested because I bought the octane. Something seems not right? i used a 8 inch lazer yesterday each hole about a 12 inch ice. I drilled over 20 holes and have 3/4 battery left and left out on ice. Now for some reason right when I started first hole just in beginning it cut out. Never did it again? Have 1/2-3/4 free movement in chuck. Like someone Maybe spinning a auger something is happening and not intended to do that lol Have dewalt products too. What's price point comparison between the two?I'll keep using see what happens. Next If I get a chance I'll drill bunch holes in a row
same thing I started out with chuck rock solid with no movement .now I can turn mine pretty far right or left.run it till it breaks.lifetime warranty anyways.i drilled about 75 holes so far and mine has cutout 5 times.so random too.sometimes first thing in the morning without even cutting a hole,sometimes after 8 holes,other times wont do it at all.the play in the chuck is not good I don't think.lol
