Ice Saw


spear foot 1

Recommended Posts

As mentioned in an earlier post of mine you can chip with our Icesaw <blue blade>. You can’t chip too hard because it will bend! With the pointed tip you don’t have to chip that hard. Also if you chip too fast and hard the blade will start to wobble from side to side and you will start missing your hole. You can chip pretty easily up to around 10 inches of ice and after that the hole starts filling up with ice chips that have to be cleaned out to continue chipping. When the ice is thicker auger out the 4 corners and cut between the auger holes. Once you get the hang of chipping with it you’ll be amazed at how easy it is.

here is a picture to show you what Fish Toys Saw does to ice. You can see that i have cut a hole with my auger in the top corner. From there i will cut the rest of the hole with the saw. The best thing about it, is its all in a straight line, and you dont have points sticking out like you do from a auger. I love this saw, and the best part is, its fast and slick, but saves alot of pressure of the auger.

i just got a fishing sports saw over the weekend. it cuts extremely well. the only problem with them is that they are hard to find. the only place that had any saws on hand was a small gas station in central MN, and i got the last one.

Yes triggertrav they ended up in short supply. I had supplier problems and sat here 3 weeks with out material to make them. I kept a few here for the people that ordered them from www.icesaws.com so they could be shipped out. Now I’m trying to catch up on orders. It’s tough to make 140+ Icesaws in a short time period. With the holidays over I can put more time in to make them. Lost a bunch of time today because where I get the blades cut they forgot to put the little angle pieces in there tumbler to clean them up so had to take them back and lost 4 hrs. If the store is out have them call their distributor to order more Icesaws. That screw up at my supplier really put me behind but now it should go smoothly and get all the orders filled. Thank you to the people that were patiently waiting to get one.

I would like to make a request for the ice saw.

Can you make an interchangeable handle so I could swap the long handle when I am moving my house and a short handle when I want to open up the hole in my house.

The saw is a little too long to open the hole in the house.

It works but it may be nice with the interchangeable handles.

That might be a tough one. The holes in both handles would have to match. Also you would have to carry wrenches with for the bolts. The easiest way is to have the 28” \:\) Icesaw. How thick of ice are you cutting in the house? Once through the ice keep the Icesaw deeper in the ice and make shorter strokes.

    • 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.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
