Answer This Question

A:  Hi, Dave. Thank you for your interest in the RYOBI 40-Volt HP Ice Auger with 8 in. Bit and 4.0 Ah Battery and Charger. Yes, the bits are different. The bit that comes with the ice auger should only be used on ice. The bit that comes with teh earth auger is ideal for light cultivation, preparing soil, and digging for fences and landscaping.

              Q:What material is the auger made from? If it's steel, you won't sell many for ice use.
