mn86 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 you ever though about a 4 stroke? its a little bit slower cutting but its smoke free. Buddy uses one for his wheel house and he hasnt complained about it. but the k dril does sound good. the 8 inch k drill bit only weighs 10 pounds and i THINK but im not for sure that there are conversion kits to hook it to powerheads as its designed to be used with a cordless drill. but if u could hook it to your propane power head you would cut the wieght down. but if you u have to buy the drill and bit its going cost more then a power auger.

vister Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My dad has an ion. Drills better than my strikemaster. Only noise is from the ice being drilled. Light as well. If I was in the market for a new auger, I would buy one for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle_3464 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Used my new Ion for the first time yesterday and I was quite impressed. Less than 30 seconds to get through 28"+ ice. I am looking forward to using it in the wheelhouse next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunniewally Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 THIS LAST WEEKEND I USED MY STRIKEMASTER LITHIUM LAZER WHICH IS ON RECALL, AND MY FRIEND HAS THE ION BOTH 8 INCH AND HIS ION BLEW MY STRIKEMASTER AWAY! nO PROBLEM WITH BATTERY LIFE BUT HIS CUT MUCH QUICKER THRU 24" OF ICE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BE TAKING THE REFUND AND BUYING THE ION! BEST IMO! WOULD BE INTERSTING TO SEE WHAT THE LITHIUM LAZWE WOULD DO WITH THE K DRILLL THOUGH!

Iambjm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have the ION auger,mine does not have the reverse which would be nice. My only complaint is the safety switch handle. Myself and 4 other people I know have had theirs break, kinda cheesy plastic. Other than that I love it, cuts nice, watch the blades they are very very sharp.
