Pardon me for asking but why would anyone need a drill, much less a $500 one, on the trapline?

I've been using Hitachi. I mainly use the mini impact driver, but it's gone 7 years with two falls off roofs and still going strong.

Ryobi drill and impact kit from home depot when it I on ale for $99. I use mine a lot and has lasted 5 years. Bought another this spring so I have a spare. Comes with charger, 2 batteries and a case. Light durable and fair battery life. I do pole barn steel quite a bit and works great also cabinet installs. Have also built many decks work them. Some say the cheap tools are wortless and I agree but these are just inexpensive and we'll built. Can't go wrong for the price.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Most of my buddies swear by Ryobi for their quality and being cheaper in price to Dewalt. Dewalt is a good quality product, but is really not worth the price when there are so many options out there. Funny thing is I just burnt up my old B&D a couple days ago srewing boards together for a diller job and now have to figure out what to replace it with myself. Probably going with a small drill with a lithium battery.

Some people take there trapping very seriously. Next time your cheap tools break. Remb quality pays it doesn't cost you.

I ran a serious trapline for forty years and I can't remember needing a drill. Now in ADC work drills are a necessity. All I'm asking

is what you use a drill on a trapline for.

2 traps,

I'm curious too, just in terms of what the trapper was using it for.

Most folks have various hand tools in their kit while on a trap line, trowel, hammer, various snare or chain modifying tools, have never thought of a drill either other than in the shop while adding modifications to a foothold.

I think that is the basis of winks question not an attack on the trapper using one, jist curiosity, what is it being used for "on the line" versus in the shop...

Only 12 V, but I like my "Top Gun" the best. Plenty of "Nad's", 1 hr re-charge. A real workhorse.

If 2 traps is referring to land trapping, I rarely dig dirt holes by hand anymore. If you're running a lot of sets you can't beat a cordless drill with a 2" bulb augur. Minnesota Trapline Products sells both 2" and 3" I believe. And then there's big hole sets, where you use a gas-powered augur with 4" or bigger bits. I also carry an electric drill and power inverter that I hook to my UTV and drill dirt holes that way. Might not be for everyone, but it speeds me up.

Okay, that makes sense. I would never have known that. When I started canine trapping, the shovel had barely been invented.

I've been very happy with Milwaukee 12V for some time now. Have the driver and impact driver both.

Ha! Mike, thanks for the link! I strive to not duplicate but see the first thread was my question same as this time about the same thing a year ago!

Guess I'm slow to pull the trigger on these drills despite adding ladders like they are going out of style! smile

Thanks for the links!

Now you tell about Milwaukee drills. The guy who bought our house worked for Milwaukee tool. I could have got one for employee's price!
