My buddy just baught an electric auger.. we love it 10 times better then a gas one.. here the ice never gets thicker then 2 feet.. and we can drill 3 holes in the time people have theres started.. in my opinion ill never buy a gas auger.. his has a built in chargable batter and it will drill all day
I bought my 1st (& hopefully last ) gas powered ice auger the other day; it's a Strikemaster Magnum (81/4"),used it yesterday & it worked Great (don't EVER want 2 go back to my hand auger
well i wouldn't get it cause if you can't bring your car out onto the lake due to thin ice then you have to bring a generator or charge it before you get on the lake. in my opinion, power auger is best
I would get a Jiffy. I have an 8" Eskimo and it does cut holes, it pisses me off alot. You get the tiniest bit of junk in there and it won't run right.
hey,can those two guys give me any tips on using a hand auger, because i have one and it takes me about 10-15min. to drill one hole threw about 12in. of ice
Well yea, it tires you right out lol

how do you like the electric, thinking of getting 1, what does it all come with, battery cables for battery, wall plug, etc

Sounds to me like you need to pull up the skirt. That would cut it down to 5-7 min.

Dont press down too hard. Just use the one hand to guide it straight and use the other for power.
