I don’t care what the power head, 100% K-Drill for me. I can switch it from Milwaukee driver drill to Ion, to Strikemaster 3hp Solo with the use of the Univers-all adapter. The shaver blades are too thempermental for me. I sold my Laser drill bit, and the old style 6″ Ion bit that came with it just sits around as a backup in case of emergency.
CRC – my only concern with your setups is the lack of ability to use a hand powered option. 
The only “hand powered” activity I advocate is opening a beer or unscrewing the cap from a bottle of Crown Royal.
I have a KDrill and I think its a good product but you need the right drill.
Just an FYI I am not going to recommend Ridgid at the moment, bought a new Gen5x (two of them actually, one 650in/lb and the other 750in/lb with 4.0Ah batteries).
They both have the same problem with the protection circuit kicking in even when I was only drilling 14″ of ice.
I have heard of others having similar problems, I have seen reviews where the Octane model with 6.0 and 9.0Ah batteries are running strong.
Next year I might sell the KDrill and get a Strikemaster Lithium, or possibly look at what DeWalt or Makita have to offer to replace my Ridgid.
Whoa, blast from the past!
Oh weird, I swear there were two or three posts above mine that are now gone. A moderator must have deleted them.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have re-opened a dead thread from two years ago.
