You’ve heard of claims about what some adapters can do. The truth is no adapter will drill more holes than another. The adapter is a device between a hand held auger and the power drill. What controls the amount of holes is:
- Your equipment
- Drill capacity and size
- Age of the Battery/batteries
- Auger size and type
- Blade Sharpness
The Ice Master Conversion Kit has all the best features on the market for the same price or less . It’s the only one that helps protect the drill chuck from the weight of the auger. The auger is protected from dropping down through the hole. You can adapt both adjustable pin and threaded augers with the same kit. It is easy to take along in your pocket, bucket, or leave it on the auger. There’s no cumbersome disk to deal with. And it has flats on the chuck pin to avoid the chuck from spinning.
To optimize performance:
- The Icemaster works best with 4″, 5″ and 6″ augers
- Make sure your blades are sharp
- Use Lowest setting on Drill and set at Highest Torque (newer drills highest torque may not be necessary)
- Before every hole, make sure auger & chuck connections are tight
- Keep Batteries off the ice
- Keep drill engaged while extracting auger from hole
- DO NOT USE excessive pressure especially at point of breakthrough
