Slush Buckets

[motley man]

Any info on the slush buckets for drilling holes inside house. Do they work good, or bad. Also wondering about the inhaler. Just looking for a better way to drill inside without mess.

cut the bottom off a 5 gallon bucket.

The slush inhaler works good but them slush buckets/trofts get hard to carry out. I like the inhaler dumping into a 5 gallon pail. Easier to carry and dumb.

They work well until the ice is 20+ inches then they will overflow. A little awakard to dump to say the least. I usually just drop mine as I flip it over. Then use the slush inhaler with a 5 gal bucket ,much easier to throw sluch with a pail out the door if you don't want to keep tracking snow in the house

I read on here somewhere that someone took a wide and shallow storage bin, and cut a hole slightly larger than the auger's diameter in the bottom of it. After augering your hole, the shavings either stayed in the bin or in the hole. Seems worth a shot for less than $10.

Same here.

Ice Hogger Shroud System looks like the way to go to me...But i'd probably just take a few extra minutes with an ice scooper and a bucket.

I have a slush bucket and it works perfectly for me. I suppose it does get a little heavy when it's full of slush but I've never thought it too heavy.

Thumbs up on the slush bucket from me.

I was going to recommend that as well. I've been using one the past couple of weeks and it's pretty cool how you can direct all the shavings in any direction you want.

Thanks for the input folks.

This is my first year using a slush bucket and hole sleeves. I think I should have bought them years ago when I built my house. First time I could walk around the house in stocking feet after drilling holes without getting my feet wet!

The slush bucket has worked fine for me. Get's a little full at times but fairly easy to carry with the hand holds cut in the sides.

Same here, slush bucket keeps floor clean & dry

Guys I know will bring the generator and plug the big shop vac in, works really good and you dont have to spend more money on all that stuff.

I have used both and to me there is no comparison. Those slush buckets are a pain to bend over and pick up and walk all of the way out of the house. The slush inhaler you just dump into a 5 gallon pail and so much easier.... I do love the Catch Covers they make though.

The slush bucket will contain what flys off your auger while drilling, agreed their not as easy to carry as a pail, but not that bad

[Hawg]

How about those Strikemaster things that go on a drill and push the slush down the hole? Anybody use those? My house has the holes too close to the corners to get a slush bucket into.

slush bucket works good for me as well. It collects all the shavings so they dont get on the floor. Dump it after every hole. Then clean out with whatever. My slush bucket has handles cut into the sides for carrying. If you cant manage that then wait till after set up to get all drunk

Are you kidding me with your lazyness. Come on get real.
