Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

The part that fits into the drill chuck is not ground enough on all 3 sides and kept slipping in the drill chuck, i gave it to a friend who is a tool and die maker and he ground more prounounced flattter areas on the chuck adapter, works great now.

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

Works best with a six inch auger. The seven inch lazer was too much for a 19.2 volt drill, but worked effortlessly with a six inch drill and 18 inches of ice. I could not get one hole drilled with the seven inch auger, but the ice was 26 inches deep. Would work OK in ten inches or less.

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

One 18volt battery lasts on average thru 15 holes in 8 to 10 inch ice. That's more than I usually need for a days fishing. I immediately recommended it to a friend. Now we both have one!

 
Product works but set realistic goals

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

I used this in Three Lakes WI this weekend 2/23/08. I have a 18v QuatroPro (Black & Decker) heavy duty drill with 2 batteries. It took basically one battery to drill through 15 inches of ice. So I basically drilled 2 holes.
So is that good or bad?
I would say the product does what it claims to, but set some realistic expectations. For me personally this will work great early in the season, I should be able to drill 4 holes that are 8 inches deep. As the season progresses I might have to start the holes manually and the finish them with the drill.
Either way the limitation is the drill, not the product. If you can plug in a drill to a snowmobile or truck then its would
work better.

 
Could be better
By ChrisVerified Purchaser from Effingham NH on 2/18/2008
Pros:
Lightweight, Retainer strap
Cons:
Wobbles poor machining
Best Uses:
Hard water fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

This product did not meet to my satisfaction due to a small wobble in the adapter. The machining to make flat spots in the rod (to hold it in the drill bit) is not precise, e.g. some of the flats are bigger than others or not cut at exact angles. The rod that goes into the bit is short and would probably work better if it was longer. I have a ½ inch drill and there is room for a longer bit. The adapter is short which makes it good for transporting but a longer adapter would allow for easier / dry drilling through thick ice. I do like the retainer strap that holds the adapter from falling through the ice and will continue to use this adapter for just this reason. I have also used other adapters that were longer but does not come with a device to prevent the auger and adapter to go through the ice. All and all I give the ice master a 3/5 stars.

Like having a power auger
By McPVerified Purchaser from Canton, CT on 1/30/2008
Pros:
Easy to use
Best Uses:
Ice fishing
Describe Yourself:
Avid Fisher
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

This device worked great attached to a StrikeMaster Lazer Hand Auger. I happen to have an 18V Heavy Duty Cordless drill and it sliced through the ice with ease. I got about 12 holes on a single charge which was plenty. I had a spare battery pack and my charger and besides, worst case scenario I just use the hand auger!

Ice fishing

Comments about Kovac Enterprises Ice Master Ice Auger-Power Drill Conversion Kit:

I'm on crutches...drilling a hole with a conventional auger is a pain...this makes it fast and easy...one battery lasts about a dozen holes on my 14.5 volt system. The retaining strap takes the worry out of loosing your auger too! My buddies all saw me use this and now they want one to.
