jeepguy Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have a jiffy 10" auger, which is great, but in the early season when I am walking out on the ice dragging my portable it is a little heavy. I saw that Cabelas sells Nils ice hand augers, and I hear they are better than any other hand auger. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Check it out! i am getting one to attach to my ice gator and use as a hand auger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_J Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 ive never used a SM Lazer, but own a Nils hand/power auger. they both are shaver types.... with the Nils hand auger, it is very easy to drill through ice, and with ice less than 12 inches thick, you can drill all day.... 60 holes no problem. keep the blades sharp and you will not be disappointed. pull the trigger and become a believer.

stumper Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have both a 6 inch and 8 inch that I use on my Eskimo powerhead and they cut like butter. I must be to uncoordinated, cuz I cant for the life of me get used to that off set handle style for the hand auger. I dont think I could drill a hole to save my live with it.

flak Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have the 6" hand and it's amazing. You just can't believe how well they cut until you try one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
