Picked up a Cabelas EZE drill on sale. Reviews online were few, but it was priced very low. Anyone have experience with one?
Anyone try an EZE drill?

I’ll have to look it up! I switched to electric two years ago. Sold my 40 pound gas auger and I’ve never looked back. Are you ditching gas?

Lmao, im ditching a hand auger. I hate listening to 20 guys with gas augers drilling holes every 15 mins. They are doing nothing wrong, im just a grumpy old bastard lol

I usually bring a hand auger in case I need to warm up! Electric is nice and quiet!!

I think the drill part no matter the brand is pretty self explanatory. sharp blades and you are good to go. I think the power matters more. I run a craftsman on mine but I told Santa I want a new Milwaukee hammer drill. I don’t know how good I’ve been though.
I run a kdrill on my big Milwaukee and its slick! Buddies are now all converting, so much easier, convenient and fast. If that cabelas drill is a copy of of kdrill you will love it just make sure you have side arm on drill you choose to use

Guys buy 10" augers so they can finally see what 10" looks like. Obviously compensating for something

Lake trout in Northern MN tend to require a 10” blade! Nothing worse than having a big fish that can’t fit through the ice. Hard lesson and I’ll never experience it again.Guys buy 10" augers so they can finally see what 10" looks like. Obviously compensating for something
When we laker fish we just clover the hole with 8", even 10" get tough on big lakers. My buddy has a 12" gas just for laker fishing but thing is ridiculous to operate, i drill my 3 hole clover faster than his 1 hole.

I went with the "K drill" and I won't go back. Very light. Runs off my Milwaukee 18 volt. Haven't drained the battery yet.

Electric is the way to go. I got the strikemaster 8”with 40v. I love it. I kept my strikemaster gas since it never hurts to have extra. Strikemaster has never let me down with their quality or customer service.

M18 lithium ion battery. From what heard that's the smallest recommended for multiple drillings.

Following. I'm probably getting an adapter for my Mora manual auger. Just need to figure out the best drill to pair with it.
