Compared it side by side with a 7.5" k-drill using the same Milwaukee drill. This auger is more difficult to center and wants to wander before it begins to cut ice. It also requires much more torque than the k-drill and chatters and stops while drilling. I am returning it.

I took the ice drill auger out today and must say very pleased. I took with me 2 drills to try. One 20v Porter Cable the other a DeWalt XR 20v. Both drills powered thru 12" ice. But the DeWalt XR is definitely the way to go. I bought the 6" auger for searching fish location. This auger is as good as any at a much less price (Cuts with ease). If your thinking 8" model buy it as it will drill with ease. For the money its the best. I'd recommend the DeWalt XR 20v or Milwaukee Fuel 20v drill for driving the auger. Good luck fishing. Have fun.

Bought this for my standard dewalt drill (no side handle or anything). I have an ass kicking 9 AH battery for it and have drilled about 50 holes in 8” ice. It’s fast, convenient and makes me want to ice fish more.

This auger is well designed, manufactured, and functions just the same as other known brand names out there. This 8” auger cuts through 12-14” of black hard ice in less than 8 seconds every time when using a 3/4” side handle 20V rechargeable drill.

Used on 3 occasions this year and this definitely cuts ice well. The unit is light and compact compared to augers with powerheads. No issues so far.

For half the price of some of the name brand augers you can’t go wrong. Only downside is it likes to bind up right before it breaks through. Could be because my drill is under minimum torque requirements. (I’m running a m18 compact brushless drill rated at 550 in lbs.) Once you figure out how to finesse it it’s great!

We have been out ice fishing several times this year and each time this is used to drill several holes for fishing and it works great. It cuts through the ice pretty quickly and seems well built.

I cut 16in ice with this and a Milwaukee 1200 IN/LBS drill Never had a problem used it all day about 15 holes and lost a light on my battery. Works amazing only bad thing I can think off is the cover for the blades, falls off once in a while.

Great product. I used it a day ago to drill six holes in ten inch ice. Blades are sharp, instructions are fairly easy to follow. Two things: no one told me that the eight inch would be so tough on my drill. I am using a new DeWalt XR but it doesn't have enough torque. I know they make one, but mine is not it. The blades bite into the ice and my drill just stops. Then I have to let off the trigger, lift the auger a bit and start again. I can feel the drill heating up. So if you get this get a big drill to go with it. Secondly, I wish it came with a hand crank attachment, or at least that the company offered a hand crank attachment, in case my batteries or my drill fails.

I've only used one other ice auger besides this one, the other one being all-metal. This one has really sharp blades, and the plastic flights (the corkscrew part) make it lighter to carry. I couldn't do a side-by-side comparison, but my impression is that this one cuts faster than the old one, and overall is better and easier to use. I don't think it will be as hard-wearing as an all-metal auger, but I'm pretty sure it will last plenty long enough for me with the light use I put it to.
