- I was able to get on a frozen lake today to put the Jiffy Torch to work drilling some holes in the ice.
Wow, was I impressed. The Ripper Blades cut through like mad and was easy on the wrists. The Torch was an awesome new tool in the ice fishing arsenal.

Great work Scott on the video. That Jiffy will be crushing through alot of ice this winter!!
Thanks. It’s pretty awesome so far. I can’t wait to see what it does through more ice too
Just a tip, after you tighten your drill chuck, turn it back a little bit, and you will feel it lock the chuck. No more dropped auger!
After all these years as a contractor I’ve never known this. Thanks for the tip
Chuckling...the fun got good to you...glad you didn't cut too many in one spot. Don't want to see your hat floating in a giant polar plunge scene. Cool tool. I think I will add one to my gear. Nice video. Smiling, George.
That's why I always wear my Striker Floatation Bibs but in this case I was only in 3' of water or less but you're right, always play it safe. Hope you like yours once you get it.
Great video Scott! Thx for sharing, can't wait till I get to use mine!!!!!!
Any time! Hopefully you can get using it sooner then later
Definitely looks impressive , great showcase of the capabilities.
Thanks. I was impressed for sure. Hope it shows people what it’s capable of
Bought one from the fishin hole last week. Letting the gasser take a break this year. Can't wait to try it out.
I really liked mine. Hopefully you get out soon and like yours too
Just got one of these torches paired with the Milwaukee and this just goes through. Went out to a local lake and went through 15inches of ice pretty dang well!
They’re pretty awesome for sure.
Nice work on the video, can’t wait to try mine out
I hope you're going to love it as much as I do
Great Video Scott !! you do the industry well !
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
Hey neighbour
Love the video man
Thanks for sharing.
Will put a 60volt battery on that dewalt
Cant wait to go fishing
I'd like to try that battery some day, glad you liked it
Thanks for the review and info. By the way at 6:00 You demonstrated drilling two overlapping holes (showing the benefit of having a centre point), but on your entire video I could not see/find how the overlapping holes you drilled looked like:-)
You’re welcome. I noticed that when I got home and edited. The joys of solo recording. Next video I’ll make sure to get the center pin and double holes in action for you.
@@BulatOutdoors Thank you for your reply, and cheers.
Looks like a good unit! Saw they have them on amazon with a bag for 180! I’d like to see how it shapes up against my Strikemaster life Flite!
I’m happy with it so far. The bag looks awesome and a hope I can get my hands on one too
You’re strikemaster will definitely cut through the ice faster with its shaver blades compared to the jiffy’s ripper blades
Where did you get the scout? I just picked up a torch here in Ontario but can’t find the scout anywhere.
You can get them here. They should have stock any day now I'm told. They will ship to you.

it sure sounds like that drill was working pretty hard with that bit.
Doesn't sound like its working any harder then usual when I'm drilling with speed bits or hole saws at work, It's just right beside the microphone on my chest
@@BulatOutdoors if you were to test it out against a shaver type blade auger, you would hear a distinct difference, but that's the sacrifice you make when using a chipper blade (slower and requires more torque). Just be careful, when you start smelling the elec burning and see some smoke, those drills will burn out if you work them too hard, especially the DeWalt, they don't have much for overload protection, which is nice because it will work harder for you without kicking out, but makes it easier to turn them into a brick if you aren't careful.
Only one way to find out this winter. Just need to keep on using it and see how it does in 20”-30” of ice.
I’ll be grabbing the new Rogue as well when they get to stores so I’ll be using that as well this winter
@@3RiversFishingAdventures exactly!! Need to buy a real drill😄get a nice Milwaukee Fuel 18v brushless and never look back😄
I was out testing this same auger yesterday on the ice, 7 inches of solid clear ice, no issues, I scored mine for $100 cad. What size battery you using on that DeWalt? I was using a ridgid hammer drill with a 4ah battery yesterday, drilled 3-4 holes, still had a fully charged battery after. We shall see how she does in 20+ inches of ice come mid January. Lol
What a deal you got. I run a 5ah. I always keep the battery in my tent or side by side to keep it out of the elements once she gets cold out
@@BulatOutdoors ya that's my plan as well or keep it tucked in my bibs, I have two sets of these Ridgid drills and four 4ah batteries so I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading to the 6ah max output battery just for this, I guess we will see when the deep ice gets here in central Canada.
I’m in Alberta and didn’t have any issues last season with my batteries. I guess it depends on how much ice, how many holes you drill and how strong/old you batteries are but having as many as you do you’re likely ok with what you have
@@BulatOutdoors I'm in Manitoba and that's what I'm thinking too, I rarely need to drill more then 10 holes a day while out ice fishing.
@@peterm3159 I think you’ll be fine with those 4ah, you’ll find out in a couple months
What dewalt dill are you using?
996B hammer drill in regular drill setting
Что за шнек?
Jiffy Torch
Nice job on the video just need to get yourself a better drill 🤣sounded like it was struggling a little 😄 wait till your drilling through 24 to 30 inches of ice and slush that thing will get a gooood workout. Anyway nice vid and sure beats the hell outta gas auger doesn't it?
Can't wait to get in into thicker ice to see how awesome it is there too
Where you at Scott? Is that coal?
It was, just went out to drill some holes, no fishing
@@BulatOutdoors I grew up out that was and used to dirtbike all over there,camp there, get in scraps there , of course when we were young😄 Ice fished a few times and summer aswell. Mainly good for small pike but the odd big one too😉
@@fishonalbertaoutdoors9761 Seems to have always been my lake to test stuff out on. Close enough to home to make a quick run out there.
i put my suv on 10.
My 1 Ton is too heavy for 10"
I like to drive my side by side on when I can
@@BulatOutdoors Big ol truck. Seen a couple on 15" today, still not bringing my truck out till I see 20 lol.
I like over 20” too
Eskimo pistol bit is better
Mines been great. Never owned a pistol bit but at 33% cheaper I’m happy with the Torch
