Pro's vs Cons....sell me on one of em. Thinking I need to spend some covid cash.;:;banghead
Strikemaster and don't look back. Had a k drill and burned up about 6 batteries and 2 drills in one winter, if ice gets thicker than about 18 inches they suck IMO. Got a liteflight for the strikemaster this year, can't weigh much more than a kdrill setup but have yet to bet able to try it out. I've had no problem reopening holes in the wheelhouse with the strikemaster and guess that would be the only time I'd ever reopen an old hole, just as easy to drill a new one. I've heard they made improvements on the ion from the first ones so they probably ain't bad either, but my vote would be SM.

Remm, curious what drill you burned up? Dewalt would be my guess. I THINK Milwaukee still has the 5yr warranty and WAS the recommended drill for the Kdrill a number of years ago. But do agree on your statement on when ice gets real thick. I have my trusty model 30 but yeah, i hear ya.
You're correct, both drills burned up were dewalts, and that maybe was the issue but that's what I already had batteries for, they did warranty the drills but that doesn't help much if it burns up when you're on the ice trying to fish. I was happy with the setup for thin ice, just didn't work well in my hands with thicker ice.
Where the Dewalt's brushless?
