Nils 10 inch power auger

You will pay more for a commercial grade powerhead which no other brand uses . Before our dollar climbed here, my 8 inch Nils was about a grand to get to the door . Is it for most weekend or occassional ice warriors . ? Likely not but heah when you see so many ice castles etc out there at 12-25 grand being towed by 40 grand plus trucks there will be a market for these too . When I need a 10 inch hole I'll dig out the beast Jiffy and the rest the little Nils will get the nod methinks . smile

OOfdaa Tacos that is up there 4sure. Never owned a Nils but have used a couple a coupla times and they are probably if not easily the best cutting power auger out there that I've fondled but 1k is serious ka-ching-ching no doubt. Ouch. I am maybe thinking of getting a new ice drill this season but this'n is a tad steep and the good half would lay a lashing on me iffin I even told her that I really need it !!

Sure like to have one come the end of March early April for the Pike fishing though as it'd most likely be the shizzz but the heavy tank reliable STX just keeps going and going.

Maybe I should finally go to the new Warroad casino and try to win one on the Blackjack table !!!

What a bunch of tools, I was emailing them to make a 10" Nils for years and they told me they would NEVER make one because of the lack of interest.

I told them that a group of friends and I were going to sell our Nils and buy 10" Strikemasters (Which we did). They came back telling me they could custom make a 10 inch shaft and head for my Nils for $225-$250.

I came back asking them if it was ok for me to run a bigger shaft and head on the motor that was originally meant to run the 8" (which is actually even smaller then 8"). They said they didn't know since no one has tried it and the gearing might not be set up right.

Pretty funny though, now they come out with a 10" after they were acting like there is no chance because no one wants them. Guess they didn't like those emails or them threads of people selling their undersized 8" Nils for 10" Strikemasters. They should of done it 5 yrs ago, I'll stick with my Strikemaster now.

I might try one out in 5 yrs when they come down to normal auger price lol.
