Quick take

An adapter tool for installing ice anchors with a cordless drill, eliminating hand drilling and speeding setup.

This welded steel adapter lets a cordless drill or an Eskimo Quick Connect accessory screw ice shelter anchors into the ice, so you skip turning them in by hand. It holds anchors from other makers as well. It can also reel in tip-up line and turn the collar bolt on an auger bit.

Best for

Ice anglers who drill multiple holes each trip
Those setting anchors for shelters or structures
Anglers seeking faster ice shelf installation

Skip if

You hand-drill anchors only once per season
You do not own a cordless drill

Strengths

Universal design works with all ice anchor styles, including competitor brands
Steel construction withstands repeated drill power with no damage

Trade-offs

Requires a cordless drill; not usable without one
Cannot be used for hand installation of anchors
Sized only for ice fishing; no other uses
