ION R1 Electric Power Ice Fishing Auger

ION took the world’s best auger—the original ION—and made it better. The ION R1 Electric Power Ice Fishing Auger is a brand-new powerhouse that utilizes the Lithium-ion 5 Ah Gen 1 battery platform, paired with a brand-new motor that adds 35% more power and significant speed upgrades over previous Gen 1 ION Augers. The R1 is outfitted with a precision polymer bottom, and a centering point and cutting ring to ensure that you can safely and easily re-drill old holes without the binding and jarring that many curved blade augers can have. Available in 8in and 10in configurations, all R1 augers come with reverse and 2 led lights and are backed by an industry-leading 3-year warranty—which includes the battery. The 8in weighs 23lbs., and the 10in weighs 24lbs. Features: -5Ah Gen 1 Battery The ION R1 features a 5 amp-hour Lithium-ion battery with over 60% more capacity than our original ION®. This means more holes, freedom for longer days on the ice, and more fishing. A single charge produces up to 1600 inches of drilling power with the 8 inch auger bit. -Lightweight The ION R1 is incredibly lightweight and easy to manage. With comfortable bicycle-style handlebars that put your hands in a comfortable position, the R1 takes the work out of ice drilling. -Composite Bottom The ION R1 ensures smooth and consistent cutting in all conditions and easily re-drills old holes thanks to its aggressive bottom design. A high-strength custom composite cutting head quickly cuts through the ice and provides an incredibly smooth breakthrough. -Reverse ION features a reverse button which allows you to flush the slush back down through the hole you’ve drilled. Simply place your auger into the hole and place the blades below the ice, then press and hold the reverse button for 15-20 seconds to flush your hole clean. -30% Faster Cutting Speeds A re-optimized power system makes the ION R1 more powerful, offering up to 30% faster cutting speeds than previous Gen 1 ION augers. -Auger Centering Point Allows for ultra-precise blade positioning when opening new holes, or re-opening frozen holes. -Planetary Gear Transmission ION® offers the optimal combination of weight and high-powered delivery, giving you maximum efficiency at the lightest weight possible. -Two LED Lights Positioned under the powerhead, two bright LED lights illuminate the ice surface, making the ION R1 ideal for night operation or drilling inside dark shelters. -Compact Handlebar Design By bringing the handlebars closer to the powerhead, drilling next to walls in ice houses is easier than ever. -3-Year Warranty ION® offers a 3-Year Limited Warranty covering the entire unit—including the battery.
