The drills can work quite well especially if you dont cheap out and do it right.
Use a drill made for the job like a Mil. Fuel.
Buy one of the better auger systems and sharp blades. For la creme de la creme spend the bucks for a Nils. Best hand auger cutting system out there and has been for years. Most can cut as fast and easy by hand as a gas. Put a drill on it and forget the gas. Hard to find around here and not cheap but portability and cutting are amazing.
K Drill would be my second choice. Less dollars easy to find and cut the best of the rest.
Just do it right and unless you have to have a 10 inch auger or run and gun all day either above will do the job for most fishermen. My next will be one of the above. Even thinking of storing my Eskimo and going drill style.
