Eskimo Pistol Bit Wont' cut ice

Anyone else having issues with their 8" Eskimo Pistol bit auger? Paired it up with a new drill that exceeded the min requirements for torque and all excited to give it a first time run yesterday. Major disappointment to say the least!  Would not cut for crap! Fully charged battery - brand new Milwaukee drill and it was a disaster.  Tried no, light and hard down pressure.  This thing would barely grab the ice if at all.  When it did, it would quit cutting a few inches in.  The holes I was able to drill completely through in 7-8 inches of ice took forever.  Asked my buddy to give it a try - same result.  Contacted Eskimo to get this resolved.  Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issue?  Tight lines.

Don't know about the pistol bit drills but thier gas drills didn't have enough angle on the blade once you bent in move angle they drilled good. Have you used it with different power drills?

You're not the only one. Not me, but I've heard of others with the same complaint on another forum. I believe the culprit was blades with the wrong pitch. Quality control issue. I'm sure Eskimo will make it right.
