ION® gives you big time 40-volt power and performance, with none of the hassles of gas or propane! All you need to do is charge your battery, go to the lake, and start drilling. There's no need to stop at the gas station, calculate fuel mixtures, or store unused mixed gas. ION® is powerful, fast, and redrills old holes in a smooth and controlled way, making this the perfect auger for a wheelhouse or hole hopping. The 8-inch ION® features an all-new 4-amp hour battery that drills up to 1,200 inches of ice on a single charge. At only 22 pounds, you'll spend less effort drilling and focus more on fishing. The ION® is so quiet, you will only hear the sound of shredding ice or the sound of a gas auger in the distance. You won't have to worry about fish getting spooked from a loud roar of a gas engine.
