[QUOTE="Mizzou21, post: 206065, member: 3243"] Just got back from Winnipeg and promised a report on the new StrikeMaster Lithium 10 inch up there. It works tremendously well. I drilled 12-15 holes per day on one battery. The ice was probably close to 40 inches.... I had a 12 inch extension on it and in a few spots i had an inch, possibly 2 left before the auger head was on the ice. It was thick! I did my best to keep the battery warm, after each hole i put it back in one of those warmer bags and brought it in the fish house or left it in my ranger. At the end of each day i pushed the battery indicator button after drilling last hole and it showed 1 bar, but once it warmed up and when checked before putting it on charger back at the hotel at night it always showed 2 bars. You can tell when the battery begins to get low, it doesn't cut quite as quickly, but that is being pretty nitpicky. I never had any issues on hole 15 at the end of the day getting through the ice. Ice was dirty, but blades managed fine and continued to cut nicely, however I do have an extra set just in case. Hope that helps, but I was very impressed and would certainly recommend it. Good luck and be safe out there. [/QUOTE]
