Has anyone tried the Pistol bit? I just punched one hole with one a guy was showing me at Newton last year and I couldn't believe how light that auger was... It made a big impression on me, but I've never seen how they hold up after the grit and such that gets in the ice sometimes... I'm still using a Laser hand auger that I put a drill adapter on and it works great (Milwaukee 2804 drill), but it's not as fast as the Nils was and I can't center a hole exactly where I'd like it, but I got it for $40 plus $12 for the adapter and modified a 5 gallon bucket lid to keep it from falling through the hole when the chuck lets go unexpectedly... So if you're looking for one on the cheap let me know and I'll get you the link for the adapter on Amazon.. Make sure you get the stainless steel adapter, the aluminum ones are too soft and twist in time due to the high torque... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
