M18 drill with two 5AH batteries. $300
Clam plate with gear reduction. $170
Nils 6" auger. $140
That comes to $610 which is about in the middle of the dedicated augers. Maybe I'll have to watch for some used parts.
I bought the M18 fuels a couple years ago on a Father’s Day sale it was $299 and had a 3rd 5Amp battery included. I paired it with my Eskimo hand auger just taking the handle off and the auger was $60 but they are often discounted at end of season. The clam plate is only $70 so total it’s more like $430 but the drills you’ll use year round for everything around the house so it’s a no brainer! I’ve drilled 20+ holes in an outing and it’s like cutting through butter everytime.
