A: Hi MrSR. Thank you for shopping at The Home Depot. According to Ridgid Customer Service, the “Tool Only” version is not an option from Rigid. Ryobi does have a “Tool Only” version though: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-HP-18V-Brushless-Cordless-Earth-Auger-with-6-in-Bit-Included-Tool-Only-P2903BTL/315648596 Please let us know if we can be of any additional service.

A: Hello, Daxb - Thank you for your question. An ice auger has a different design to it and this does not have that same design. It cannot be used for ice. I hope this helps!
