Im sure it had nothing to do with the fire marshall. It had to do with only having 3-5 inches of ice and over 500+ holes augered. INSURANCE.
Thanks for the post Costa.
My dewalt was awesome for the 6". Never an issue. Most ice I cut at one time was 36" on Nip.. Got 15 holes from one charged battery. The XRP ones.
That price BTW WD, is way over what you can get them for. Shop around.
The battery is a big part of the game as well. The 4 and 5 ah is the ticket . In the dewalt series, you want to use the 18V Battery for DeWALT DC9096-1 18V XRP Batteries. More capacity. I still have my 18 volt that I used for 2 years. I have it now to make quick work for the anchoring screws. It sound like Im doing construction. Brian the toolman. ug ug ug. LOL
ToolGuyd > Power Tools > Cordless > First-Look at the New Milwaukee 2nd-Gen M18 Fuel Brushless Drill (2703) and Hammer Drill (2704) First-Look at the New Milwaukee 2nd-Gen M18 Fuel Brushless Drill (2703) and Hammer Drill (2704) JUNE 20, 2015 STUART 43 COMMENTS Milwaukee held their 2015 New Product Symposium last week, where they showed off a lot of new tools that will be hitting the market in the second half of 2015 and in early 2016. I was able to attend this year, and boy was it a busy and productive day and a half. There is so much to cover that I had to break things down into separate posts. Without further ado, let’s start off by getting into the nitty-gritty about Milwaukee’s 2nd-gen M18 Fuel brushless drill and hammer drill. For a taste of some of the other posts that are in the works, check out our brief 15-image teaser post of the event. And to follow the continued coverage, check out our Milwaukee New Product Symposium 2015 section. 2ND-GEN M18 FUEL INTRO Milwaukee recently revealed their new second generation M18 Fuel brushless drills and impact tools. Their Gen1 Fuel drill/driver has been at the top of our best cordless drills recommendation post for a couple of years now, and their Gen1 impact driver is at the top of our best impact drivers post as well. Then Gen1 tools are choc-full of premium features and are quite powerful. To be honest, I didn’t think they were getting long in the tooth, not at all. But Milwaukee wanted to keep driving forward with new innovations, and I must say – they didn’t disappoint; the new 2nd-gen models look and feel absolutely incredible. Also, all of the new kits will ship with 5.0Ah XC Li-ion battery packs. There will also of course be bare tool options.
NOTE: When you see a photo with 2 drills or impact drivers compared side by side, the Gen1 model is on the LEFT, and the 2nd-gen model is on the RIGHT. 2ND-GEN M18 FUEL DRILL AND HAMMER DRILL
I have been trying to get a guy at work to get his son to come out. Always too cold so he says. Would rather play video games. I will get him out when the ice is safe, by hook or by crook. The father is very behind it.
I took cliff up on the offer as I needed one for the kiddies to come out in comfort. I will keep my deal. Family s hit happens.
My other two grandchildren didnt get out unless I took them. When we did get out, it was fun. I am thier fishing source.
You really need to have this this cutting machine in your hands, to really see/feel, the power and how this unit is so easy and quick to auger a hole. Lots of talk about the combination of cost compared to the gassers and new electric augers. It,s the same as a cheap gasser these days, yet you have the use of the drill for home jobs.
I can tell you HONESTLY, it is money well spent, and the cutting quickness of this set up is, UNREAL.
Over 40+ hole through 10" of ice this morning, and still had half the battery life left.
Love the new set up.
We went to the wall. 22 fow, worked the area. Then headed in to try and find weeds. Then we did do the crack line. No fish, but lots of walking and excersice..
That was terrys truck beside me.
