I HAVE THE PROPANE AUGER, LOVE THE NO FUMES FOR MY HOUSE, BUT THE WEIGHT OF IT IS KICKING MY BUTT, USE TO HAVE THE ELECTRIC ONE WITH THE FLASHER BATTERY, AND IT ALWAYS RAN OUT OF JUICE, SO THINKING ABOUT THE NEW BATTERY ONE, ANY HELP OUT THERE?

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.

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

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!

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.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
