Auger Attached To Power Drillon

by Bruce Tomaselli

Dec 16, 2016

Anybody ever use these conversion kits? The manual augers are beginning to hurt my shoulders, arthritis in each, and I'd like to go to some kind of power auger. I can't afford to spend $400  or $500 right now.

Thanks

    I've had my auger since the 70's even forgot the name but they are no longer made. Does need a carb but runs decent sorta lime green,   in color and a 2 cycle tecumseh engine. I can tell you harder ice is harder to drill but if the auger blade is sharp it will do a number on the ice. If you thinks it's sharp it's probably still  not sharp enough. I take my blades of put them in a vice and file sharpen. It's a talent to file properly but when done keep way away from your body the blade they will do some serious damage. I'll see if I can find the auger and the name on it.

      I started doing the math on this last year…

      100.00 drill

      70.00 for the plate adapter

      50.00 for the manual auger

      30.00 for blades

      250.00 total

      280.00 for gas auger

        The clam conversion kit is about $160.00. If yu already have a drill and auger that's certainly a good deal.
