Before you buy anything come with me and try a Nils on a drill.... I got a new 10" Mako last year, its a great auger, but I got the Nil's this year after suggestions from a friend... I was just going to use it for prospecting holes, I didn't think the batteries would last very long and thought it would be tough on my drill... Well once I tried it I'm totally converted, it's the best thing I've seen... Wish I would have gotten the 8" instead of the 6" and I would sell my gas auger and not go back... but since I need a bigger hole for some lakes I'll keep the gas one for now... Anyway I use a DeWalt 20V cordless drill that I already had for home projects it is a 1/2" chuck size so it will fit the Nil's attachment but it goes through the ice so fast it's nuts... It is quiet and I can punch a ton of holes on a single battery, so far I haven't had to switch to my other battery and like I said, I have drilled lots of holes each trip... Anyway let me know if you'd like to meet up and see this thing work... Later J
