I have a Nils Master bit on a cordless drill for walking out.
The Eskimo will mostly be used when I drive out so weight is not as much of an issue compared to durabilty.
I thought I heard that t P1 gearcase was not as beefy to save on weight.
The technical guy at Eskimo wasn’t available to talk this morning. Either way, I will be getting one, for me it will be which one is the more heavier built / durable.
so any input would be appreciated.Tony

The first rule of duck and goose hunting is simple: if the birds can see you, then you are freezing your butt off for nothing.--Jim ZumboI think they are 4 years old. They were in a power pack for a emergency backup for a computer system. Our IT guy says it was never activated but they must be switched out every 4 calendar years. I haven’t tested every one but the ones I have are at 13.45 volts and I like to then see what the voltage is when it gets a load on it , like a light bulb.
Most batteries at the end of their life when they start giving you problems (cars too) may measure 12 or 13 volts but when a load is put on, they drop. I had one that immediately dropped to 9v and then 5v .
My Vexilar flasher was doing that. It was giving weird readings and the guys at Vexilar ( and the you tube seminar) pointed out that when a flasher starts acting weird it is almost always the battery
I will post a couple of pics of the voltage with a load on it.Tony

( look for the red burn marks on the dead minnow gills)

I think it is between the buddy and big buddy heat range BTU wise.
I also put a 2′ x 2′ foil faced insulating foam under it to keep the radiant heat from hitting the ice/ snow in front of it and making more of a puddle.Tony

I ran into a guy one that had a side business called “Plasticaly New” that did repairs on racing sleds and motorcycles–but don’t know what became of it…Tony

The first rule of duck and goose hunting is simple: if the birds can see you, then you are freezing your butt off for nothing.--Jim ZumboI made a home made adapter for my Nilsmaster and it gets comments from other anglers on how fast it cuts. I only have an 18V dewalt–wish I had the brushless Milwalkee.
However–I cut out an aluminum disc with a grommet for the shaft. the disc is larger that the hole it drills in case the drill chuck loosens up and the auger falls out.
I can’t my pictures of it that I posted a couple of years ago–but i’ll keep lookingTony

Have mine on a Dewalt, and it cuts like butter.
I’ll try and link the guy’s infoTony

The first rule of duck and goose hunting is simple: if the birds can see you, then you are freezing your butt off for nothing.--Jim ZumboI would agree with the battery. Same thing happened with my Vexilar and a different battery fixed it.If you know anyone who does biulding maintenaence, it is the same battery used in emergency exit signs. I have a buddy who got me some from a hospital maint guy and our hangar maint guy got me a couple . I made up a couple of power packs to run fans and lights in my hub, but one of them cured my Vexilar clarity issue.
