[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 155876, member: 816"] i still haven't had to switch out my 5.0 AH battery for my 8 inch K-drill and i've been using it about 2 weeks now. probably about 30 holes. BUT... the part on the drill where the handle connects to the drill is made of that pot metal shit and mine broke on the drill. i've since learned to do a few things differently so as not to stress that handle and the drill as much. but, it sucks it happened. now i need to mail it in to get it replaced when i think i have time to live without it... probably after the season. the dude at ACE hardware says its the 3rd time in the last month he has heard of this happening. its a bad design how they have the handle connect to the drill. should be a band thingy like they have been in the past. couple of tricks... clear your hole of the extra shavings before you go through the ice all the way. water and shavings from 24 to 30 inches of hole with my 8 inch puts a lot of stress/torque on the handle/drill. also, if you find yourself with a hole full of ice and water, just pull it straight out and up rather than try to drill it out in FWD or Reverse.
