[QUOTE="Fishmission, post: 57034, member: 465"] Update on the clam plate and K drill with Milwaukee 18 Fuel Drilled 50 plus holes in 5-8 inches. When we arrived at the first lake, my buddy was laughing at my set up. After he drilled a couple holes he wants it! Granted the ice is not thick but if a guy cleans out like he should on deeper ice I don’t see any problems with 2 ft of ice or deeper. Time will tell. When I got home I plugged 2 batteries in charger, still had over 50% charge on the 1st battery and 2nd battery had close to 75%. The drill came with 3 - 5.0 batteries and I had all 3 along. Changed to 2nd battery after the first 30 holes. With the backup up batteries, I put them in a small collapsible vinyl cooler with a couple hand warmers. Doing this would keep the batteries warm and less likely to drain prematurely i'm thinking. I like the plate. Its a more traditional way to drill and was easy to keep balanced and drilling straight. So far I love this thing. Its ultra light. The 8"K drill Auger was impressive. Its cuts fast and for some of the places I fish, I need the chipper style blades. Musky, you liking the plate? [/QUOTE]
