What to do...I have a 8-9 year old strikemaster 8" ice auger which is is good shape but yesterday I had a heck of a time cutting through 4" of ice. It would start fine but in the once my blade started to punch through the last 1" of ice it would get hung up and stop. I would even make this grinding sound and shake the motor. Is my auger screwed or what? I though of adding a new laser auger to it but I am not sure... Has anyone else ever experienced this? Heck I think a new hand auger would be easier...way easier...Thanks for any suggestions....
