Here you go. I took the shaft out of the clam plate and mounted it to the drill As you can see it wobbles a lot and you can feel it while holding the drill. SO I tried it with out the clam Extension and it spins smooth. I then took the Clam Extension and ran it on a table and found the extension is bent. IT had to come this way because it always wobbled badly. I am going to contact Clam and see what they will do for me. I will try and send them the video I am uploading to Youtube. &feature=youtu.be
Its the extension... Did you tighten the wing bolt down really tight?
Chinese PartsChinese TolerancesDo you expect any better from the Kings of Chinese Ice fishing junk?
Lefty is your shaft inside the clam plate solid silver color or heat treated golden/rainbow color?
kev wants to know color of shaft that the chuck grabs. should be goldish/green like mine is.
Just a slight tint to it. Looks like oil to me.
Here's how mine looks when spinning. Very little runout.

mine looks likes lefty's.clam watched his video while i was on the phone with them. he said it is how it should look and go drill some holes. i told him lefty tried drilling holes with it and it wouldn't cut right and then he blamed not catting right on his auger. so clam corp is worthless. i told him mine has a measurable bend to it and he said take a phone video and email it. this means they don't trust me.he could have dropped a new output shaft in the mail for me instead of saying it's all good. i asked about the trigger mod with the spring and he said he did it to his was all i got out them fixing their trigger.Phone: 1-800-ICE-FISHFax: 763-231-4121Email: [email protected]looks perfect! too bad ours isn't any thing like that.so two totally different video's of this thing and the bent shaft version video is how it's supposed to look according to customer service at clam corp.
The crazy thing is the extension works great with the Kovak adapter but not while hooked to the Clam Plate. I will go out and get my Auger and attach it to the plate directly. OK I connected the auger direct to the clam plate and it wobbles all over the place also. SO now I guess I have to blame the clam plate. I have an email into Clam to see what they say. May never hear back from them.
Thanks for the update 3300. I still haven't heard back from them and now I don't expect to since they said it is my augers fault.
