Here’s my report for using the drill for an auger. It was very disappointing!!! I had a very sharp 7″ hand auger with a Craftsman 19.2 volt drill. Air temp 42 degrees, ice thickness 8″-10″ & two fully charged batteries. I drilled 4 holes and maybe could have drilled another half a hole, using both batteries. To make things worse, I thought I would then drill a couple by hand for the tip-ups – nope!! the adapter bit was screwed so tight, I couldn’t remove it which meant I couldn’t put the “hand” crank back on. It looks like I’ll be shopping for a gas auger very soon.

I just bought an adapter at Scheels, cost me $14.99. I’m going to try it for the first time this weekend on a 7″ hand auger. I will be using it with a Craftsman 19.2 volt drill, I hope it works.

Count me in!!!! Thanks.
