misfish Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 That's for me to know and you to find out. It would seem my thoughts and theory are off. The bearing that holds the drill, allows for little to no torque. Hugging the drill in tight to the body works, but not the best. Im talking for the 8" auger here. Talking to another person that has the set up, they never had a problem the last two years. Will also help with the arthritis in my hands and wrists.

SirCranksalot Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 My drill adapter doesn't work too well either. With a 6" auger and a sharp blade I find it's not worth the effort. I drill maybe 4-6 holes per trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelheadphycho Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I think you've got the ability to build one! You made those sweet adapters to attach the auger to the drill. Git tah fabricating!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farsider Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I think you've got the ability to build one! You made those sweet adapters to attach the auger to the drill. Git tah fabricating!! This is why Brian is asking. He said the version he already built is not working out the way he had hoped. Seems the Clam version maybe has more to it than he first thought.

Big Cliff Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I have one of Brian's adaptors for the 6" auger and it is FANTASTIC! (Thank you Pikeslayer) I use a 20V DeWalt drill on it and can drill 8-9 holes through 30" of ice on one battery. Now there is a lot of potential torque but I have found that if you let the auger do the work, don't push it into the ice, and clear the chips out often it works VERY well.

misfish Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) The six runs no sweat drill holes all day. It,s the 8 that is causing some issues. Yes I can drill 8,s all day as well, but it takes it,s toll on the drill. I wouldn't of believed it, but it does as I have the drill to prove it. Thank goodness for warranty.
