No zerk, guess I will start disassembly from the bottom, I assume a slip clutch is in the upper.
Im in the market for a new auger. And this thread has my head spinning on what to get. I did use a new Eskimo mako43 last year and loved it. Question is, for the electric guys are you running 8" bits and if so does it noticeably drain batteries faster than 6"? Man i really would hate to go less than 8. I run a 10" now on my old Strikemaster
I have made the jump to electric this week. Over the past 2 winters I have tried the Strikemaster, Ion and KDrill. All were good. In the end I went back to my roots and decided to try the Jiffy E6 the one I have not tried. I have always liked the Jiffy blades. They say the new batteries will cut more ice than the others. In the end the deal at Scheels Ice Fest was the tipping point to the purchase. I should know how it is in a week or so. I guess this makes me a first mover.

What are the options for 10" electric? Eskimo flight and drill plate?
I know, it'll drain batteries faster, but for drilling holes in a wheelhouse it would be nice.

I'm seriously considering the E6. I'm only hesitant because its brand new. My backup plan is the Strikemaster 40v. Let us know how it performs
