Nils Auger for Cordless Drill - with Handle

This is the new Nils USA auger attachment for cordless drills.  Stick it on your better quality cordless drill of 18 volts or more and this auger has been designed by Nils to takes a less aggressive bite out of the ice to allow a smaller motor to turn it effectively.  In other words, it is actually designed for use with a cordless drill instead of being an auger onto which somebody stick a cordless drill.  There is a big difference and it will show up in your drill.  If you use a drill you bought at a big box store that specializes in home furnishings but also has a tool section, you may smoke that drill rather quickly.  The planetary gears are usually plastic and can't handle real drilling.  Be warned.

The cordless drill is just for show so you can see what it looks like when it's together.  That's also the 6" version.  The one on the right is a 4.5" version which would be suitable for fishing perch, eels, or dropping your ice ducer down into the hole to avoid tangle ups when fishing.  I myself usually drill two holes so I can keep my ducer from tangling up and getting beat up as I pull it out for  up-coming fish.  If you have the Nils Ice Saw  and want to make a big hole it would be very easy to quickly drill a hole in four corners and connect the dots with the Nils Ice Saw.  Slide the big block under the ice.  Push it down, flip it upside down and then give it a shove.  It will slide a lot further with that smooth bottom slides against the bottom of the main ice sheet.

That orange disk on the top of the unit is slightly bigger than the auger blades in case your keyless chuck on your cordless loosens up.  Dropping your auger down the hole sucks.

The other cool thing with the Nils Cordless Auger is that it comes with a handle to drill by hand.  Trust me, hand drilling with a 6" Nils is ridiculously easy.  Drilling with the 4.5" auger is even easier.   You'll think the ice is too thin to be standing on. 

Instead of buying a hand auger every couple of years, and then blades, and then it still never works like it did when it was new, this is the time to invest in good equipment.  You'll know why on the first hole.
