Gas auger vs Cordless drill comparison

[Webb_Boys]

I converted a 8" strike master to use with my 18V dewalt. This is when I lived in Wisconsin we were allowed 3 holes per person. On 16 inches of Ice I could drill almost three holes, I had to have 3-4 batteries just to get me through the day. I determined it was too rough on my cordless drill and opted to buy a used gas powered auger off craigs list. Used augers may be a little more common in the mid west as ice fishing is a religion there
