Cordless Drill Auger Question

[dubob]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I started with a gas auger 15 years ago and went through 2 of them. When the cordless drill options started to become very popular, I bought a Milwaukee 18V Fuel drill kit with two 4 ah batteries and a Nils cordless drill auger (orange) and used it for 3 years. Loved it. Then last year, I saw the new K-Drill auger and watched some you tube comparisons against the Nils. I sold the Nils and bought the K-Drill. IMHO, the K-Drill is the best one money can buy. Very light weight and can be used with extensions if need be - you can't use extensions with the Nils (the safety plate prevents this).

A 6-inch K-Drill is all you need regardless of fish size you pursue because you can enlarge the hole with the K-Drill by placing the guide spike 1/2" away from the first hole and drill a second with absolutely no auger wander. And then you could even drill a third hole a 1/2" away from the junction of the first two for a very large clover leaf looking hole.

The K-drill requires almost no down pressure to drill your holes and last season I was able to get at least 30 - 35 holes drilled (depending on ice thickness) on one 4 ah battery pack on my Milwaukee 18V Fuel drill.

I've heard some rumors about a Russian ice auger (Nero?) that is supposed to be very good, but haven't seen one in person.[/#][/font]
