I am planning on getting a new hand auger, and I really have no idea which one to get. I have been reading about the Strike Master Lazer Hand Auger, and the Jiffy hand augers. They cost about the same, but I want to get the best one. Please help me out, which is the best of these two? Are there others that are better for about the same price? Well thanks for reading this. I would appreciate any comments or help, thanks again...

It's me again. I was just wondering what is the difference between the 6", and 8" auger? Is the 8" auger harder to use, or slower? Does it not cut as good as the 6"? Thanks for the help.

Always cut the smallest hole you will be able to get your fish through. That way you can drill more holes, move quicker, expend less energy and catch more fish. Mathematically speaking, an 8" auger cuts a hole nearly twice the volume as a 6". One can only assume it takes twice the effort also. If you are panfishing, go with a 5" Lazer.

Go with the 6" lazer. I have a 8" jiffy and a buddy has the 6" lazer. He can usually drill 2 holes for every one I drill. As for diameter only get what you need. We've had no problems getting large Lake Trout though the 6" hole.

Tight lines!

Thanks for the help, I bought a 6" Lazer today, and can't wait to try it. I am planning on going out tomorrow. Caught some crappies, and a few small walleyes earlier today, and I hope it will be a nice day tomorrow....

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
