[quote wombat1947]Thanks guys for the help. Think I have decided to go with a Bosch 36 volt drill.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Wow; talk about overkill. [] But hey, it's your money and you will have to deal with the 50% increase in weight over a Milwaukee M18 Fuel. Like Joe, I get 50 or more holes with one battery charge from my 18 volt Milwaukee. Weighs about 4 lbs compared to the 6 lb plus of the Bosch 36. And the Milwaukee from CPO only costs about $220 shipped. What will the Bosch set you back? Or do you already own it?[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]And as to making an adapter, if you don't get it 100% perfect in alignment, it will introduce some unwelcomed vibration when turning.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Bottom line is the electric drill powered ice augers ARE the wave of the future and you will never want to go back to a gas powered setup once you've used a drill system for a season.[/#800000][/font]
