Electric ice auger options

[T-Boz]

I use a Milwaukee Fuel 18 with a Clam gear reduction adapter an 8" auger.  The 2 handles, with trigger, set-up is a lot easier to use than the drill with the side handle.  Also, the Clam outfit uses the auger's cross bolt to connect the assembly to the auger so you're not relying on the drill chuck's gripping ability to keep the auger from dropping down the hole.

I have the exact same setup and I’ve never been happier! The only thing I need is an extension since  it took every inch of my auger to get through strawberry last week
