Features

  • 5 AMP HOUR, GEN 1 BATTERY: This Gen 1, 5 Amp Hour battery offers a 60% higher storage capacity than the original ION battery. This extra capacity powers the 8" ION R1 through up to 1600" of ice on a single charge.
  • 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.
  • ION REVERSE: Reverse eliminates the need for an ice skimmer by flushing the slush ice down the hole.
  • HIGH-STRENGTH COMPOSITE POLYMER CUTTING HEAD: Ensures smooth and consistent cutting in all conditions and easily re-drills old holes. Aggressive design cuts through ice quickly with an incredibly smooth breakthrough.
  • 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.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO CARRY: At only 23 pounds, the 8 inch ION R1 weighs nearly 40% less than typical gas-powered augers. This means less effort drilling and more opportunity to focus on fishing.
  • 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 unitincluding the battery!

  • Excellent auger
Style: ION R1 8”
A gift for my son an avid fisherman. After much research between the different generations of this product we decided to go with the first fur price point and satisfied reviews. We couldn’t be happier. His first day on the ice he reported that it cut like butter, was rugged, fast, quiet and overall was amazing. We are definitely glad we got the gen 1 as it was the best value for the money without sacrificing the features we were looking for. ... show more

  • No sweat, just fun!
Style: ION R1 8”
Probably the best purchase I've made. Takes the tuff out puts the fun back in. Very nice and so easy. Enjoy fishing.

  • One of the best augers
Style: ION R1 8”
This is the was to go, Ion is one of the best in the game. Drilled 25 plus holes(14” thick ice) in one trip and it never lost a bar on the battery indicator. The only thing I don’t like is the rubber battery strap but it’s really not an issue at all. This model has lights which is great for drilling in the shanty. No gas mess or worrying about it starting. Definitely worth having on the sled being it weighs only 23 lbs. ... show more

  • works well
Style: ION R1 8”
i have only drilled maybe 30 holes with it so far but it cuts a hole quickly. much lighter than a gas unit and i dont have to worry about getting it started or the carborator getting gummed up with bad fuel. nice and quiet too compared to a gas unit. box came damaged but product was ok. i am satisfied with the unit. didnt give it five stars because i dont know if it last for years or not. ... show more

  • Top notch....
Style: ION R1 8”
I just used this upstate NY last week, what a pro. To be honest I had concerns of enough drilling power, battery lasting long enough, BUT it worked like a champ. Cut quickly and as many holes as needed over two days with no charge. I highly recommend.

  • No need to spend $600 on the latest models
Style: ION R1 8”
I have been using the Ion R1 8” auger every ice season weekend for 4 years. Lasts all day with the 5Ah battery. We drilled 48 holes of 14” of ice in -10°F air temperature one morning on a single charge. The steel flight is only 4lbs heavier than the ridiculously expensive $600 current generations. This Ion R1 with 5Ah battery, will cut just as well as the latest and greatest, and as fast for $200-$250.00 less…. ... show more
