Hand auger question

[Finn]

I have 6" and 4.5" nils that I use on early ice. They are amazing, I must have drilled hundreds of holes and these blades still don't need sharpening, going on six years and counting! They cost a bit more but well worth it.

Lazer 6"....

I use a lazer 7" have used it for the last three years till the ice is about 10" thick then its time for gas. we did drill a bunch of holes with it on the big pond a couple years ago when the ice was 14 plus inches. worked just fine but was not very time effective.

I don't use my hand Nils very often but I have nothing but good to say about it. It cuts like a dream.

A strikemaster lazer hand auger cuts through ice like butter. It's all I use until there is about a foot of ice.

Ive cut thru 38" of ice with my 6" lazer hand auger attempted it with the 8" but that attempt didnt last long but now by attaching the 8" to the icegator I can drill with the big boys! 42" last year gonna be able to go deeper this year got me an extention!

I was going through 20"s with my 6" Lazer and my Dewalt 18v Drill last year like it was butter!
