Electric drill ice auger???

[dubob]

I like the setup shown above where the drill attaches directly to the NILS shaft. The plate requires that the drill chuck be modified or removed to use it on the Clam plate. Didn't like that and won't do it. I can still use mine instantly as a drill. Not so with the Clam plate as near as I can tell, but could be wrong on that. One of our regulars uses the plate and really likes it. I'll stick with my setup. You will have to weigh the differences between the two and pick which ever one will work for you.
