I got the clam conversion kit and 6inch auger late last winter. Set up with a Milwauke fuel m-18 1/2 inch hammer drill. It worked flawlessly on the late season ice. Have to see how it works on fresh ice this winter. It is light to carry and the center blade makes it seem safer as it reduces auger slide at first cutting a hole. Here in Nebraska with little Ice over a foot most times it should be the bomb. It does seem a bit short and will be getting an extension so it fits my height a bit better.
