Students working on the perfect Hand Auger need your help!

Engineering Project entitled "The Perfect Hand Ice Auger,"

Dear Ice anglers,

We are a group of engineering students from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. We are currently involved in an Engineering Project entitled "The Perfect Hand Ice Auger," where we are trying to improve upon current models of hand powered ice fishing augers (We have attached the introduction of our project for your reference ).

We have been searching the internet for fishing clubs around the country that might contain ice fishing anglers, and would appreciate it if you can help us to spread this online survey about hand ice augers to your club members through emails. Here is the link of our survey

Our group is trying to establish the most necessary improvements that could be applied to current auger models. We determined that direct user input would be a worthwhile method of acquiring quality data. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for our group, please feel free to mail us at our emails listed below.

Sincerely Yours,

"The Perfect Ice Auger" Engineering Project Group

Sweet idea! I can't wait to see what you youngsters come up with.

I would love to see a hand auger that makes me think twice about bringing the power auger during that 8-14 inch ice period.
