I really wonder how hard it would be to saw thru a foot to two foot of ice later in the season? I would assume you would still have to auger a hole for a starting point...

Anybody ever try it?
Or are we still waiting for more ice?

Thank you for the compliment! I sell lots of the Icesaws from this site and it is peculiar that more people don’t post on here to inform the other fishingmn family members that the Icesaw is a very useful tool. On thin ice it is 5’ to 6’ ahead of you in the position for chipping ice as you are walking. If it goes through in one chip you better start backtracking being the ice is too THIN & NOT SAFE! Like the ad says you can cut an angling hole or a spearing hole. Chip through the ice and start cutting any shape or size hole you want. If you do put your ice block on top of the ice break it up. When you push the block underneath give it a good push.

Yes as the ice gets thicker it does get to be more work even with an auger. I would say that up to 15” of ice there is no problem. Like every thing else when chipping you have ice chip problems in the hole you are chipping in but clean them out and chip some more.
For the people that spear they do auger the corners out and cut between them on the thicker ice. We did an advertising tape awhile back and we chipped through 10” of ice and cut a 2’x4’ hole and put the iceblock on top of the ice for measuring in a tad over 2 minutes. Unfortunately my best tape got ruined some way.
Every tool has its place and time to use it!
Be safe and have fun on the ice. smile.gif Practice CPR. smile.gif

I just bought another toy,that the wifey said I did'nt need. Boy was she wrong.

I bought one of them ICE SAWS. It works just like it is advertized. Cuts through ice with no effort at all. Just chop a hole with it, and push and pull it,and it does all the work. One word says it all, AWESOME!!!!

I dont know how I got along all these years with out one.
Thanks goes out to the maker of this great TOOL (not toy).

It used to take me probably 1/2 to 3/4 of a hour to cut a spear hole, now it only takes a few min. More time to fish.

Note to spearers, push your blocks of ice under the ice, that way it wont wreck somebodys truck,sled or atv,or hurt somebody.

One more thing,always mark your holes with a limb or dead tree,so somebody does not fall into one like I have done. It ruins your day, to fall into a spear hole when its dark,and you are not expecting to go swimming.

    • 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
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
