Man I got an 8in nils from cabelas on clerance with $25 off and free shipping last winter. Paid like $85 new for it....couldnt pass that up. It came with the handle type you show on the right side. Sucks to hear that the handle style I got sucks. However I put the nils on a clam plate with a milwaukee brushless fuel drill.......that thing is the smoothest cutting setup I have ever ran. I think a lazer auger might be a touch faster, but I would take the nils every time over the lazer since it doesnt catch when you break through on the bottom of the ice. That lazer set up can really jaw jack you around when it catches the bottom.
