*Great auger! **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s blades came very sharp and when attached to the drill adapter, this auger chews through 18" of ice like butter!*
I've been going back and forth on a new hammer drill and this video confirmed what I was going to buy! The DeWalt was by far the best one. Great video, thx!
Awesome video man. I was looking at getting a new drill next season for my auger. It was between the makita and dewalt for me and your video answered my question.
I use dewalt 996 because I already owned it. I use the dewalt battery platform for my power tools Very happy with the 6” k drill not sure about the 8” models
Nice review. Just to let you know I think you had the settings on those drills too high. I first did the same thing. Then when I cranked down that's where the torque kicked in and it worked a lot nicer and lot faster. The Gospel of John, sooner than later.❤️
I wish you would have told us the torque inch pounds of each drill apparently that's the most important number. I have a 8inch auger and a new in the box dewalt max DCD777C1, Brushless 20 volt 575 inch pounds torque, do you think that will cut it, pun intended. The Milwaukee, fuel has 1200 in lbs the right one for the job but just too expensive.
@@devonwatt2194 I'm not sure when I wrote the comment, but I did great drilling ice with it, have used it to crank a 10hp gererator over too and metal roofing on my shed
You all know there’s zero difference between 18v and 20v right? They both use the exact same cells and operate at the same voltage. Some companies use “max” while others use the more common nominal voltage. Only difference is the number they stick on the side in china.
I think this test is a great idea. However, I don't think the comparison was on a completely level playing field for all drills because all the batteries were different. Smaller batteries carry less charge, and I believe some of the smaller batteries also don't have as great a power output as the larger options. Additionally, and I don't know this specifically, but I would venture to say that the torque specs for each drill might vary by brand, which is also something to consider when making an assessment. Just food for thought.
Probably but how you gonna attach it my 1/2in snap on impact has more torq then any of the drills here but i cant use it cause no way to use it so i use the milwaukee m18 1200lbs hammer drill and that works amazing but i want to upgrade to the kdrill
Impact did not work out as well. Used mine after my drill gave out and it's just annoyingly loud and will wreck the scew holding the adapter to the kdrill. Light pressure worked out the best, just before the impact kicks in.
I was just notified by DeWalt that K-Drill augers cannot be used with ANY DeWalt DRILLS. If you are caught by DeWalt, your warranty will be immediately void. Even though K-Drill made videos of using DeWalt drills with their auger, they are misleading. DeWalt drills are not made to be used this way. My own warranty was voided because of this.

Thiiiiiiiis is what I was looking for! I'm a Milwaukee guy so this helped alot

20volt and 18 volt are the exact same thing. A few companies just call them 20v max in North America. Many videos showing the comparisons.
Dewalt is a good tool for sure but for the size and weight Millwalkue is the way to go
I use dewalt 996 because I already owned it. I use the dewalt battery platform for my power tools
Very happy with the 6” k drill not sure about the 8” models
I use the same Ryboi and no problems drilling straight through 10 inch of ice.
You used the weakest makita brushless drill. The xph12T/Z models smash that 07. Would have been just as good or better than your big Dewalt.
the ryobi works well with the pistol bilt. It will struggle with the chipper blades more
I’m confused. Are you using the craftsman 721 you keep saying or the 710 that you posted a link for??
Great job

My ryobie lit on fire while I tried that any tips

How big is the kdrill
What battery did you use on the ryobi
Has anyone used the Makita 40v?
Kobalt xtr hammer drill?
If it’s a good drill maybe but having a hammer function is kind of irrelevant unless you have a use for it outside of drilling ice
@@devonwatt2194 I think it's a good drill all around used it to put my garage doors together
@@milkman2591 if it has a drill function and decent torque you should be fine
@@devonwatt2194 I'm not sure when I wrote the comment, but I did great drilling ice with it, have used it to crank a 10hp gererator over too and metal roofing on my shed
@@milkman2591 nice, good for you then. It’s always nice to have multiple uses for a tool. Tight lines this winter my friend 🎣
I can't believe it's almost that time of the year already. Getting my Milwaukee M18 ready. Stay safe everyone.
Lol im buying my m18 1200 lbs hammer drill lol
I'm pretty sure you can use the dewalt handle on the craftsman

Milwaukee is the best I've used

If you would have put a 4amp battery on the craftsman it would have beat Makita clearly and if you put a 9amp on it would compete with the dewalt
Wouldn’t an impact work better than a drill? Seeing it won’t really bind up.

Yeah if you want to destroy the blades in the process
Impact doesn’t work for augers. You want smooth consistent rotation to maintain your blades. The impact will damage your blades pretty quickly

milwaukee would lose against the makita so no use in testing it. I've tried myself.
Were all tested on their low speed settings
as they should've been.
Low speed is what you should use for drilling ice
craftman drill dont have enough a/h battery
