After running my kdrill for 2 months now. I am very happy with it. I have it powered by a fuel drill. I started the year with the 700lb drill and upgraded to the 1200lb. Well worth it. We have about 30 inches of ice now and it chews right though it. I'm getting about 10 to 12 holes out of a 5amp battery. This setup has permanently replaced my gas auger. Total weight is about 9lbs. I've had a couple days that I have drilled close to 100 holes and I'm not tired and sore that night.
