Hi! I'm Tim Carter from AsktheBuilder.com, and today I want to show you a really creative use of a cordless drill and a ship auger bit. A ship auger bit can be used to check the thickness of ice on a lake. Watch this! It's really pretty cool.

Holy moly! That bit is 16 inches long coming out of the end of that chuck and I'm still in the ice. Can you believe, it's that thick? And here it is in the middle of March, New Hampshire. These lakes stay cold for a long time. This is one way to use your cordless drill. I'm Tim Carter for AsktheBuilder.com.
