    Love mine, works great… I no longer run and gun so didn’t need to cut more than a dozen holes… I did keep one gas auger because when the ice gets beyond roughly 2 feet the electrics seem to strain at the last two inches and get stuck at the bottom of the hole…

    Love mine as well. Wife bought it for a xmas gift. Curently have the 40v as well with a lite flite. Going to put the 40v up for sale. See no reason to keep it after running the 24v. Went through 16″ of ice just as good as the 40v. I actually used the lite flight that was on my 40v instead of the new one that came with it. Wanted a true feel comparison on a bit that was a year old and blades that are a year old. Cut just as good. Will it struggle a little in 3 feet of ice, time will tell, but any auger going through 3 feet of ice is going to get slowed down. I would rather lift the 24v versus the 40v to clear the shavings. All in all, this thing is amazing. Need to get the 40v on the market before they become obselete.

    I seriously doubt the 24 will be the end of the 40. So I would not worry about selling it. As to having to pick it up to clear the shavings, I have not had to do that yet, but time will tell.

    Right its already been stated the 24v is targeting the “drill” market and will not affect the 40volt which is directed at the “gas” market.
