Great read! I picked up a 6" K-drill and Milwaukee M18 before last season, and I still love drilling holes just for the fun of it. Having such a light auger while hole hopping extremely increases your efficiency on the ice. Not to mention the unbelievable customer service backed behind it. Also, free lifetime blade sharpening's! Every time im out on the ice someone walks over and asks to drill holes with it. Cant wait to pick up the 8"!
