This year I got the Eskimo pistol bit 8 inch with clam plate and dewalt XR drill. Couldn’t Be happier. 13lb vs 37lb jiffy gas. Ice is over 2 feet here and cuts with no effort .Battery life is good! Just added the extension . Only draw back is it walks a bit when starting a hole on glare ice because of no point . Once you get use to it and take easy when starting hole it’s no prob.
I couldn’t be happier!!!!

I bought a clam battery mount. Works perfect!!

You guys with your drill/auger combos…

Just retired!! nothing better to do…….. Right!!!! Lol

I have one with limited use because of not much ice here yet . Cut 45 holes in 6 inch ice and dewalt xr 20 5a battery still full. 13lbs vs 37 for my 10 inch jiffy. A little walking at start sometimes but not bad after I got use to it . Early yet but I like.
