The Best Ice Auger Drill Combo? (10 Inch Hole)

In my search for the biggest, fastest, lightest and best auger option for ice fishing, my latest winner is this combo. The Milwaukee Brushless M18 paired with the Ion G2 Lower. Connected by the DeepFreeze Quick Connect.
A bigger hole is better for ice fishing because it gives you more room to land a fish. It freezes over and builds less ice as quickly as a smaller hole will in cold conditions.
If you want to see a video comparing the 5 augers I currently have leave a comment on the video.

I know the g2 40v head and 10" flyte weigh in at 18lbs so I am curious what this set up weighs and how many inches of ice can you drill on one battery.

@JoeHollandFishing 2 года назад

The G2 lower weighs 5 pounds. I would have to weigh the drill and it takes different size batteries that weigh differently depending on which size and amperage hours. Id guess somewhere between 60-100 feet of ice on one 12 AH battery but thats just a total guess until I try and count.

It's going to be cheaper just to buy the complete ion alpha auger then to go through a drill every year. Been there bought two of the biggest hammer drills over 2 years burnt them out. They just dont hold up in 2 +feet of ice. Not in canada anyways! Buy once cry one, Everyone trys to save a buck but it will burn you in the end.

@JoeHollandFishing 2 года назад

@base72588 2 года назад

the huge difference between the ion and the Kdrill and the torch is that the kdrill and torch are both chipper blades and while they may last longer they are hell on drills, and battery killers. Shaver blades for drill set ups is the way to go.

I just bought the lite flite this year and am overall happy with it. I had some ice buildup around it and found out there was a bad batch of blades sent out of which I had the bad batch. 3 days later Strikemaster had a new set of blades on my door step! I love the 8 inch and I think the 10 inch will wear your drill out a lot faster, but if you're not concerned about that then certainly I think you have one of the best setups out there for a 10 inch hole!

@JoeHollandFishing 2 года назад

For sure, I also bought the 8 inch Lite Flite, Absolutely love it I am thinking its the best 8 inch drill out there. I didn't notice a lot of resistance with the 10 inch, It felt very similar to the lite flite and much less resistance than the 8.5 k drill.

the speed part is actually hilarious! you are right. It's just a macho thing with speed for the most part but speed is almost always better right? When its cold or you are bent over, etc. However the thing I love about this combo is the light weight, ease of use, comfort, practicality, and smoothness. Also much quieter than a lot of older drills.
