Love this auger. Milwaukee drill worked just fine. Just keep it in low speed and do not go full speed on the trigger right away. Let ot get started and then squeeze the trigger some more. Goes through very fast just like the videos. Was using a 5.0 battery and drilled about 15 holes and barely used the battery life. Perfect making holes inside the ice huts. No exhaust smoke from gas auger. Love the safety plate on top incase your auger comes off the drill. Never worry about losing it down the hole. Blade was really sharp and jas a center spike to keep your auger from going all over the place. With just a couple nuts and bolts the 2 blades come off and can be easily replaced when they become dull.
