[quote kj]Still not convinced the cordless drill method is superior to or even equal to the 8" gas auger, other than less weight and bulk.[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I've had 3 gas augers (one 8" and 2 6"), a NILS 6", and now a K-Drill 6". The NILS & K-Drill were/are powered by a Milwaukee M18 drill. The NILS was the fastest through any depth of ice. But the K-Drill has the added function of being able to overlap holes for larger openings. There is no reason EVER to have an 8" or 10" auger. The K-Drill can make any size hole you need by overlapping. And the effort to go through any depth ice is very small - just let the weight of it work for you. Gas/propane augers are dinosaurs and are heading into extinction. Electrics do it all and start instantly with a push of the 'GO' button. [/#800000][/font]
