Ice just onNeed more use to be 100% sure

I got this tool and anchors for my ice hut when I go ice fishing. It seems that I lose at least one anchor on each outing...The tool itself is wonderful! It almost deserves 5 stars by itself. It is cleverly designed to fit over a variety of ice anchor sizes (both thickness and length) holding them while you drill them into the ice. A small variety of anchor sizes is shown in the photo. This tool is so much easier than screwing them by hand. The tool itself doesn’t fit in my ¼” drive drill, but it includes an adapter for it. This does make the process a little more wobbly, but it is still better than the hard way.The anchors themselves, on the other hand, leave a little to be desired. The descriptions do indicate that they are 6.5” long, but it is not clear that this is actually on the short side and that they are rather skinny. This might not matter for some, but where I ice fish, there is often a foot or more of crusty snow on the lake. It is not uncommon to anchor in that snow. For this you need a thicker and longer anchor, like the larger one shown in the photo. I have not drilled these anchors into glare ice, but think the flattened threads would not drill or hold as well. For this I would give the anchors only 3 or 4 stars.The description title mentions nylon straps to hold to the tent. I cannot find them. I do not know if I just misplaced them, or if they were just missing, or if the title was incorrect/out-of-date. I think they may be are supposed to be included in a different purchase option and the title should fixed. In my case, the tent walls have the straps attached, so this is a non-issue.All in all, I think the tool and adapter is worth the price. Just not perfect.Edit: I forgot to attach the photos.

used to install ice anchors and it worked great. Ran them in with a Dewalt impact and they felt solid. Lots of wind and it kept my shack in place no problem. Absolute 5 outta 5 would recommend to anyone.

Confession, i got these as anchors for a tarp and there is no ice to be seen. Our bunny enclosure has a tarp to help keep some of the winter weather out, but it turns into a giant parasail when the wind picks up. Got these anchors to make sure the tarp stays down and I like that these anchors came with a tool to put them into the ground without a hammer (coil works better in this soil anyway). Anchors were easy to get into the ground and they have stays in place during the latest wind storm. Really easy to use and stay in place.

It wasn't bad, but is a little heavy, didn't effect using it though.

A great kit. The ice anchors are made well and very strong. The kit includes a chuck to drove them into the ice with and standard drill and has an adapter if you want to use a 1/4" impact. I do wish it came with a nice bag to keep it all in instead of sliding around in my ice fishing sled. I'll come up with something for that easily though. Great price

I ordered these for back-up for our pop-up ice fishing shelter. They seem very durable but we haven't needed them, yet. They will stay in the bag for the shelter though!

The anchors work well, the install bit comes with an 11mm socket to go into a 1/4" impact that then has to drive the anchor install tool. Otherwise the tool could just be put into a drill
