[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 242067, member: 1485"] I have an older Strikemaster Lazer that has yet to fail me, but it's heavy and requires bringing a small fuel canister for longer trips. Not a big deal, but a hinderance to some. I got my dad a K-Drill because his back is shot and the 40 pound Eskimo he lugged around was a bit too much. He's only cut two holes (for testing purposes) and he absolutely loves it. I think the whole works including drill and battery weighs around 11 pounds? He's currently just using is 1/2 bit Ryobi with 18v lithum batteries (not recommended, but he already had the drill) and it cut through a foot of ice like butter. He's apt to drill 6 holes max in a given day, and I doubt he'll burn up drills with that frequency. So we're not too worried. Plus if he does burn up a drill, hey, an excuse to buy a new drill! Win-win!! [/QUOTE]
