Anyways were heading up to LOW this weekend for the last bite of eyes hopefully the best. anyways everyone knows that the ice is deep and they are saying between 40-45 or so inches. now on average how long are augers without the ext. i have a SM LAZERMAG Express and i cant find the length of the actual auger part. (im going to college, dont have a tape measure) so im wondering will an 8" ext do or what will i need to reach deapths like this??

I don't think they are. I believe the SM uses differant than most and it spins oppisite, might be wrong on that but I think that's what I've heard.

Actually it is the boat anchor Jiffys that spin the wrong way, and all thier parts are different. Not that a wrong way spinning auger has anything to do with an extension. The Eskimo ext will work with a SM Lazer.

Calling a Jiffy a boat anchor is wrong.. I owned one for years.. it didn't cut as fast as a SM or Nills, but I had the same blades on that thing for 6 years... never needed sharpened, and always started.. but then starting has nothing to do with Jiffy, both them and SM use the exact same engine!!!!

The Jiffy, do spin a different direction though.. If I didn't own a nills now, I would have no problem owning a Jiffy again... I will say that I am more than happy with my Nills now though!

Yeah, calling a Jiffy a boat anchor is just plain wrong. There isn't a boat anchor in the world as heavy as a Jiffy grin.gif

I always thought Exts were Universal. I have both a 12" and a 18".

I have used both. I never asked anyone if it would fit my eskimo or not. I just saw them on the rack and have bought them. They both work great.

I do believe they are universal.

      We actually hardly buy any of the candy, but they have so much other good stuff like the Pies, apple bread, canned and jar pickled stuff, hot sauces etc. 😋

      I'm game to try anything but yeah, I'm not into a lot of fruit or sweety meats.  Plus we made our one trip a year down to the Big yellow candy store already this year. 😋

      i've lived in Richmond and now cold spring all my life. my brother ordered a half of beef from this place called Homegrown meats , had never heard of it. know why now, when i picked it up it was established in 2020.  its just south of browns lake at the intersection of 22 and cty rd 43.  nice little place.   he called both Plantenbergs and breagelmans in Richmond........they are 6 months out. Breagelmans actually referred my brother to this place.  he said it was cheaper also!!!!!   i'll be taking some venny trimmings to Mcdonalds in 2 weeks for summer sausage and sticks!!!!!   plantenbergs will get the rest for bologna and hot dogs!!!!! you cant eat other bologna or weiners once you've had theirs!  mcdonalds SS and sticks are also topof the line as far as i'm concerned!
