2/26/2023 0 Comments Clam ice driverI was very happy with the results and this auger is now with me on every trip. It drills the hole in a matter of seconds, with very little pressure applied. I was able to drill 39 holes with ease through 12" of ice on one battery. I then remove the 8" auger and put on the 6" mora and a new battery. I could of drilled a few more but didn't want to kill the drill. I first tried the 8" mora and was able to drill one hole but the drill was working to do so. I tested this on Saginaw Bay over the past few days on 12" of ice and here are the results. On my second attempt to build a cordless drill auger with the Clam Ice Auger Conversion kit I paired it with a 18 volt Rigid lith hammer drill with 3.0 ah batteries and over 600 lbs of torque for $199.99. While the results were fair, I was not sold on this yet. When I tried to 8" lazer I barley got one hole drilled with a fresh battery and about killed the drill. This set up with the dewalt drill was was able to drill 17 holes through 6" of ice with the 6" mora auger bit on one battery. I also tested with a 8" lazer and mora auger. I paired this with a 6" mora hand auger and a Dewalt 20 volt Lit cordless drill with 1.5 ah batteries and 300 watts of power for $99.99. I recently purchased a Clam Ice Auger Conversion kit (plate only) for $59.99 from Gander Mountain. While researching this on the web it would appear it can be difficult to hold the drill and not end up with a broken or bruised hand/arm while drilling, do to the torque from the drill. I wanted to give a review for anyone considering using a cordless drill with a ice auger.
