Default nimrod

rather than buying a gas powered auger, im just buying this $20 drill bit you can put on an 18+ volt drill and it adapts to most hand augers with the wing nut on them. just curious if anyone has ever had any experience with one of these? i saw some videos on youtube and it looks like they work pretty well. a lot better than drilling through 16" of ice with your arms

Seen em advertised. I can't see them drilling too many holes through thick ice. I'm a contactor, have owned many cordless drills,... and I can't talk myself into buying one.
Let us know how many holes you get on a battery.

i would rather just spend 20 bucks since i already have the drills (18 and 24) than pay 300-400 for a gas powered auger. especially since i almost dislocated my shoulder last week on my second hole. ill let you guys know how many holes shes good for though after this weekend
