The Alpha Series marks the 3rd generation of Ion electric ice augers, re-imagined from the ground up to re-define high-performance yet again. The 8 in. Ion Alpha utilizes a specially designed Turbo high-speed cutting system, providing a smooth and efficient cut through up to 2000 in. of ice on a single charge. It boasts a category-leading cutting speed of 3.4 in. of ice per second, which is up to 52% faster than the competitIon. Speed, power, and longevity-all under 20 lbs. The goal of Project Alpha was to design the lightest, smoothest, fastest, and most efficient 40-Volt augers on the market, and with the data to prove it we say, "missIon accomplished".
