Cordless drill for ice auger

[DanzTuna]

Jeff, could you explain exactly which settings to use on the Milwaukee? Think I've got it right but like to be sure.

I use the M18 Fuel and use the screw setting (there's drill/screw/hammer settings) at 24 on the rotary selector and slow speed (position "1" on the slide selector).  I attach the accessory handle to the drill.  Word of caution:  If your auger hangs up, the drill has enough torque to serious harm your hand/wrist.

Second word of caution:  Make sure you have some means of catching your auger once it penetrates the thickness of the ice in case when pull back the auger, the adaptor slips out of the drill's chuck.  Ask me how I know.  If you want a free auger, there's one about a hundred yards off the Strawberry boat ramp in about 30' of water...lol (not!).  After purchasing a new auger (@#$%^!), I just punched a hole in a bucket lid and slid it over the auger stem just beneath the adapter.
