Auger attachment

[willowcat]

Has anyone used that blade attachment that flips down after you drill through the ice,then it cones out the underside of the hole? It was a big gimic about 3 or 4 years ago. I got one but I'm not sure what to think,It seems to be more of a headach than anything.

That seem to be the consenses that they are a gimick. Never bought one and glad I didn't I have hear of guys that had them get stuck under the ice and had a heck of a time getting there auger back.

The company that made those no longer lists them on their web site. Must be a reason. One thing to think about, you must run your auger a pretty good speed for it to "ream" the cone. YOU WILL GET WET with the water that your flighting throws at you at that speed. Remember, you are already through the ice and the hole is full of water up to the top.

I got wet,and I got the auger stuck using it. Thats why I was looking for some input on this thing. Sounds like the best thing for me to do,is to take it off and toss it in the trash can. Thanks for the input.
