[quote toadly]So are you saying your electric auger can only drill one hole in 18 inches of ice, then the battery is dead?? I have heard of up to 20 or more holes with the same auger in (8 inch blade)the same depth of ice. Maybe the battery wasnt fully charged..[/quote]
No...no...no....I've never run the battery dead. It's just that next to a gas auger the electric auger is not as fast. I can drill 'one' hole while my brother with his gas auger can drill 5 or 6 holes. In fact, he's already fishing while I'm still drilling.
The electric auger works fine for what it is, but it does slow down more than a gas when drilling through 18 to 24" of ice. I'm just say'in.....gas is a lot quicker.
