Poorly done video. You can edit out all the junk you don't need. Also, you are dogging a 7 or 8 inch auger and saying how great a 5 or 6 inch auger is. You can't compare. I've heard how great the Nil's is, but from what I've seen of this video, my 7 inch Strike Master Mora would do just as well as that 5 or 6 inch Nil's you are using. It's just a poor comparison.

@nmhahunter I'm sorry you don't find this video to be helpful. Not sure where you get the 7-8 inch auger idea from because both the Nils and the Eskimo augers were 6 inches.

I love the nils, but you started out to show the difference between nils and eskimo.What was the time of the eskimo? what about strikemaster,and finn bore three. need to complete testing

Sorry if the title was misleading. The Eskimo takes minutes to drill the same hole as the Nils takes seconds.

less focus onn you and more on the drills themselves would have made it better. IMO

I thought this was a great video. They're clearly the same auger size, and a 30 second hole in 17" of ice using almost no effort as he drills?...I'm buying a Nils now. I wonder how much harder the 8" model would be to drill holes?

I have no idea what I've just witnessed, but it looks like the Nils is pretty good....Maybe you should show how crappy the Eskimo is, then we could really see the DIFFERENCE!

I saw a thin layer of ice today on my favorite place to ice fish. I think it would be awesome if you made a new video that shows both the nils and the eskimo in action.
