knutty Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Any thoughts on the Lazer Electra Auger versus a gas powered auger. My concern is how will the battery life hold up when drilling. Thanks for your input.Knutty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Time Ranger Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have had the Strikemaster Electric Auger for 2 yrs now and I really enjoy it. I haven't had any trouble at all. No exhaust smell in the house and no spilling of gas. I can drill about 22-27 holes when the ice is about 20 inches. I know I will stay with the electric and a number of my friends have also converted over. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9Art Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 i just got one a couple of weeks ago and LOVE IT. of course the one i had previously was a hand auger. I have drilled 26 holes so far with it and have not had to charge it. It isnt quite as fast as a gas auger however, by the time you would get a gas auger started and warmed up you would be done with the electric. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draggin bottom Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I bought mine last year and really like it a gas auger was not a option since i drive a suv gas smell inside would not go well with the better half also is quiet so so for me its the best option Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
