Tom7227 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Last year guys were scrambling to find them. Might want to get ahead of the curve and pick one up. Might not need it this year but when you do would really will wish you had one on the shelf in the garage.Actually if it is in the garage and you need it there could be a problem.

FshBloodRiverMud Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hey, speaking of auger extensions. I'm heading to LOTW in january. Should i bring my extension? I usually don't start drilling until the ice starts and usually stop when i've busted through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-man715 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I always get a kick out the "do I need to bring an extension?" threads....like it's a huge piece of specialized equipment that requires you to pull permits to haul down the highway It doesn't matter if there is a foot of ice or four, it's with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrostreamin Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Always be prepared. I was at Devils lake last year and the bottom of the auger was touching (with extension) on breakthrough's even though i heard all week that we would be fine without extension. We've needed an extension 9 out of the last 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trout26 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I just made my own 2 foot one out of solid aluminum today. Made it so it fits into the auger and I can adjust it too different lengths when needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Since I am normal sized (6'7") I usually leave my extension on, it is more comfortable for me to drill through 2' of ice instead of stooping all day long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leechlake Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'm 5'7" and should quality for a "Handicap" permit when I have to use an auger extension. I've found for walking through thick stuff grouse hunting it's a benefit being short, for the extension it's a little tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawg Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Isn't it Clam that makes the adjustable one? Why ever take it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_Bear Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Isn't it Clam that makes the adjustable one? Why ever take it off? It only fits Clam and Strikemaster hand augers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Fit's my Ion just fine. It slides down into the drill for shorter extension, it's never been off since putting it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
