So after 30 years of using the old tank '76 Jiffy Model 30, I've caved to new technology. Im old school, dont usually like change, and im not impressed easily by new technology. But....Ive been eyeballing one if the ION's for a couple years now after some other guys like M+M, Salmonemia, BrookieSlayer have raved about them. Even when Roccus let me try his at the IS Gathering, it did put me closer, but i wasnt 100% convinced it was right for me. Especially with a price tag of 6 bills for the new model.
My Jiffy has been like a tank over the years that just keeps wailing and havent had too many issues with it. But last weekend when it was -10, both days she had some trouble. At that point, I thought about all the great things Joe had said about the ION that day, and he's a pretty smart guy, wouldnt steer anybody wrong. I finally gave in and said it was time. Why not, gotta spend my Christmas bonus on something.
New ION X 10" came in last night and tomorrow will be her maiden voyage! The Jiffy will still be in the truck just in case, or when theres 2'+ of ice.
To those that have had these a while, do you still feel the same way about them? To me, I finally said the pros outweighed the cons. I just hope it holds up.
Oh well..Out with the old, IN WITH THE NEW!!!!
Anybody else get any cool new big item toys for the ice this holiday season that theyve been holdin out on till this year?

I did the same thing with my Jiffy brought it along for a few trips now it sits in the garage. I would sell it if the right offer came along. You will love the ION. Just keep the battery charged. Mine goes on the charger as soon as I walk in the house. Only once I had the battery go to the second light and that was after 50 holes on a 20 degree day. Just be careful with it there are some plastic parts on it. When Coldsnap comes out with a 10" cover I would grab one easy on, easy off. Good luck fishing tomorrow going to be brutally cold.
-
Thanks Denny. I aways appreciate the input. My Jiffy will probably sit like yours. I dont think anyone wants a 41 year old auger, its kind of nostalgic i guess though, especially when we know how much ice that thing has gone through in our lives and where its been with us.
I know we've talked about the cold snap cover too, but like you said they dont make a 10" yet..The stock one will do fine for now. And yes the plastic aspect of things make me nervous, especially in the extreme cold when things seem to break easier. Ill just have to be a little more gentle than the Jiffy ;D.
-
HnF, Nice toy, I have been eyeballing one but spent my money on hunting toys. :) I like the idea of more metal and less plastic then the original ION
-
When my electric Strikemaster taps out I'll be upgrading to an ION 100%.
-
I've got 2 gas jiffy sugers...and 8 and a 10...2 and 3 hl...Neither has been used v in 2 seasons now....good luck...I'm duress you'll love it...I'm heading out tomorrow. ..not sure where just yet because of the snow m..trucks loaded either everything. ..including snow shoes and pack basket.
-
Congrats on the new auger. You’re going to love it!
-
Your gonna love it keep us posted on how she does for you. Curious how that ten inch will do. The led lights are cool especially in low light or night time. I havent used mine yet this season but will be soon. Enjoy your new toy.
-
Nice auger!
I never had a power auger of any kind always chisled through as much as 3 feet in the old days but last season I said enough is enough and bought an Ion...I love it and the ease of use it affords. Holes are done in a jiffy (pun intended) and the battery comes in the shack nice and warm.
This season when I took everything out of storage to charge batteries the Ion battery still showed full power on the battery check leds!
I didn’t get the X model but I think the regular Ion will fill the bill for me for the rest of my days!
-
This will be my 4th season with the ION. I couldn’t be happier with this auger. It has never let me down and still on the original blades that have not been sharpened, still cuts like butter.
I have never been so disappointed and pissed off with my jiffy stealth, what and absolute dog turd from hell. It now doubles as a boat anchor, only thing that POS is good for!
Happy drilling, you won’t be disappointed!
-
I have been looking over auger options for the past couple of years. I have had a Jiffy model 30 10" that is old as the hills and that was reliable for many years, but has finally become tired. In my search for a new auger, I wanted the ION bad but I thought long and hard about it and a few factors steered me away. I have many power tools that I bought over the years but I can no longer use because the batteries are junk and now obsolete. How long will these batteries be available before they switch to a new design? Who knows... Also the replacement batteries are pretty steep in cost! Like $200! Second, a personal fault is that I am pretty bad about managing batteries for my things I already have such as power tools, trolling motor batteries, snowmobile batteries, flasher batteries, etc... Not just end of season, but also when I come off the ice and would need it for the next day.
I settled on the new Eskimo F1 Rocket 10". Got a great deal on it from L&M Fleet Farm. For me selling features were it is actually one pound lighter than the ION 10" at 24 pounds. Fuel mix is 50:1 and can use pre mixed Tru-fuel. Great reviews and a five year warranty. Plus much cheaper than the ION. We'll se how it holds up over time.
-
Love my ion. Would never go back to gas. No mixing, spills, carb adjustments, less weight. Just turn it on. They are pricey but if you can wait until later in the season you might find one on clearance. I ended up spending about $200 at Dick's when I got mine.
-
That's a steal for $200.
-
I bought the ion x and waiting for the 10 inch bit to be delivered Monday. Please report how the 10 works out. Some have said it takes a bit to go through but I believe that was with the last model ion
-
So I braved the cold on Winni today, was excited to try out the Ion even though it was brutal out there. -25 if you add in the wind chill factor. I guess it was an extreme test. I'm sad to say that me and the Ion got off on the wrong foot. Things didn't operate as expected.
First hole it was kind of dancing a little bit and seemed to be grabbing the edges. It was nasty chunk ice so maybe not the best for its first day? Cutting rough and By the third hole, ice was froze up under blades and it wouldn't cut. I chipped the ice out thinking it would be ok. The bit just wouldn't cut at all without putting down pressure on it, just wobbled around in the first two inches of ice.
Two issues I see: First is maybe cast bottom and/or blades not aligned right. When I got home I looked at bottom and it almost looked like it wasn't straight with the rest of auger. Also, I guess there's a chance that on the first hole the way it was cutting, maybe bent the cast bottom? This flimsy metal is nothing like the Jiffys.
Second issue I see is maybe a design flaw with the new X model in extreme cold weather, where it freezes under and around blades. I've had it happen on my jiffy but not like this.
I will be making a call to Ion tomorrow to get some insight or answers as to what the heck I do now. It won't cut as is. Maybe auger bit replacement?
Don't get me wrong, the unit itself ran great and the batteries held up awesome in those temps.
But this is not what i expected to get myself into with a big money auger brand new out of box.
Oh yea, and the fish bite was non-existent today. :'(
-
HnF, This is not what I want to hear as I just bought an ION X online. I blew propane all over the cellar yesterday while working on my Jiffy pro 4 and pissed off the wife. Probably not as mad as she'll be when the UPS driver shows up with my new auger. Hopefully it cuts better than yours ? :)
-
Sorry to hear of your dilemma. I can’t speak to either the X or the 10 inch so I’ll shut my trap and hope for the best for you.
Never a problem with my 8 inch though...good luck with it!

I honestly think it may just be something with this bit, not sure. Yours may have no issue right outta the box. And the freeze up may only occur on days like today where any water or slush freezes in about 5 seconds.

Sorry hear your troubles. ..I wonder if the 10 is not as well engineered as the 8...I've never had issues like that...the icing was never a huge issue.
.that bites..
-
Sorry that happened -25 is extreme. Would you typically fish in that weather with a gas auger? Ive had my blades freeze up as u described but never had it not bite. Maybe its the larger surface area of the ten inch? Maybe the blade mechanism is warped? Hopefully you will get it resolved.

Yea it's not an everyday occurrence it's that cold. -10 degrees when I hit the ice, with a steady 15-20 mph wind. I have fished in those temps up north with gas auger and I've definitely had issues also. Freeze ups, carb issues, etc. I guess I was hoping I would eliminate all problems regardless of weather with the ion. Too good to be true, Maybe too much to ask?
;D
I was very impressed with the battery though. I let it sit in the cold as sort of a test, and after 5 hours it powered the auger no problem.
-
It’s never a good idea to press down on those blades when running it. The blades could now be bent a bit. As far as the ice build up is concerned, it’s kind and of unavoidable in conditions we’ve been having. I always run my auger up and down the hole a few times after it breaks through to clean the hole out of slush and prevent any slush from sticking to the auger or the blade. Keeping it off the snow helps too. Those Ion blades are real delicate. I have one and don’t let anyone use it. I like mine. Cuts like butter with no help from me.
-
I’ll go to my grave with my tank ..I’m sure everything will be fine once the weather gets better..good luck

Thanks for input Joe. I had heard not to really push down or bounce it. The thing is, it was not cutting right to start. Then I just tried a little bit of pressure to see if it made a difference. You could be right but I think something was wrong before I tried that.
I also did try and flush the blade out but I guess maybe today was not the day to learn the tricks of this thing.
-
Sounds like you got a bad set of blades..I had a mora hand auger that came with bad blades..they felt sharp but wouldn't cut.
I replaced them and that set went for years . FWIW...I ran my Ion into the sand/gravel twice last weekend
..it still went through 14" of ice in a minute or less....even iced up at 13 below
-
Sorry to hear that. The blades on mine have iced up but never so bad that it wouldn't cut. There must be a defect with one of the blades especially cutting that first hole and having a problem. Let us know what they say when you call tomorrow.
On another note just wondering how the walking was on the ice after these storms?
-
Having issues with my 31XT Legend
Should I stay or should I go now???
-
I just pulled the trigger on a X 10
HuntnFish603 There is a recall on some of the 10" augers. If the black paint is a matte finish they are replacing them with augers that have a different gloss paint. If your auger already has a gloss finish then I guess it was the cold.
I would be interested in hearing which paint you have.

No, mine is the gloss. That shouldn't be the issue.
And I've had it with Ion customer service!!. Two days straight now of calling the three numbers they have. Line is busy alllllllll the time. Sent emails, also no response. Contacted vendor I bought from, they also said they can't get through. This is so BS!!!
ION is ruining any chance they have at keeping me as a longtime customer.
-
That is unfortunate. My Jiffy 10" is very sensitive to bending due to the increased lever arm effect that you get from the greater radius. If my Jiffy is not cutting the first thing I do is put a straight edge on the bottom and see if the blade mounting surface has bent away from the the. I have had issues with both my Jiffy 8" and my Nils 8" icing up in the extreme low temps, however nothing like your picture.
-
I wonder if this might just be an issue with the 10"?. I haven't heard anyone with the 8" having a problem. Mine has worked fine.
-
Was wondering the same.
-
I think it's either just a bad bit or blades, the reason it won't cut for me. As another issue, from what I see a possible design flaw with the new centering ring holding the slush. Because in my short time with it I found the auger doesn't really spin fast enough to throw the ice or slush buildup out of the ring.
I've found it's literally impossible to reach Ion or Ardisam!!!! I've dialed all 3 numbers at least 50 times each day since Monday, no response! I was thinking of just shelling out the dough for new blades yo see if it fixes it for now, but nobody has them right now. Vendors have the whole auger in stock but not just the bottom ring or blades.
If I can't reach them by tomorrow I'm probably sending it back to my vendor and going back to a Jiffy. I'm that fed up. Ive never experienced customer service so bad.
-
If you end up returning the ion id check out a k-drill setup. They don’t have a ten inch blade but boy is it nice to drill tandem holes.

Sorry to hear of the troubles. I bought an Ion X 10" last season and have used it quite a bit. It has always worked great with no issues! I will say though that the lowest temperature I've been out in using was around 0F. I'm not sure I've been out in negative weather with high winds before. Could've been an issue with the blades or alignment out of the box maybe. It's too bad you can't get a hold of the company. Did you try emailing as well, you probably have but just curious?

going back to a Jiffy...now we are talking...put my old girl in a ice cutting contest any day...

Blades on the 8" I wonder why they changed them on the 10".

Jibbs the ION is built for comfort not for speed. ;D
-
Used my new 8 inch three times- It does skip or travel a bit on glare ice. Not a huge thing- I was used to the spear point drill on the Jiffys for a long time now. So that took a minute to get used to.
Also in -12 temps the blades iced up to an unusable situation. They "clogged' two or three times: Could not clear the ice from the blades by hand- and // At a glance I say- don't touch those blades.. they seem sharp as anything//.. - Had to put the the blades next to the buddy, soften the ice which froze on like concrete and clear the heads before cutting a fresh batch of holes - I still like it. I want to sell my current Jiffy. Wont be negative 12 that often and I'll google tips to stop that happening (reverse a second before setting down?) bet there is some ez way I dont know yet.
Ion =Light, quiet, easy, get drilling in an instant, and lasts all day on the coldest days. -- smells lovely compared to what I'm used to.
(sounds like I want to 'date' it)
Small advantage can pop holes inside the shelter (without any moves or venting assistance) with nay smoke to clear . Its nice.
-
I just got the new Ion X 8'' myself and have been loving it. Went out this past weekend and had no problems even with all the snow and slush. The convenience of a 22lb auger with no leaks, smells, sounds, etc. is really something to behold!

Hehe....Jibbs, sounds like you want to start the 1st Annual NH IS Drilloff!!
-
So ION/Ardisam FINALLY got back to me this morning. I have to admit as po'd as I was about not being able to reach them for 5 days, the woman I spoke with was very kind and helpful, especially because I was pretty heated.
They are sending me a new 10" auger bit, so we'll see what happens. Sounds like I just got a bad one(what are the chances) and that most others on here have had no issues. Thanks for chiming in everyone, helped me keep the faith that they are for the most part actually a good product.
Downside is the new one, they said won't be here till next week.
The Jiffy will get one more run this weekend!
-
We have the ion for 3rd season, not without issue. Crappy original blades. They replaced them 2xs. Good customer service. Safety switch had to be disabled and modification to the trigger to make it work... But we do love it in the end. Going strong now...
-
mine bounced off the cradle yesterday ( I neglected to strap it down) @15 miles an hour and I ran it over with my wheeler...it came out the back in one piece and unscathed...I even had the blade protector off... it cut holes as good as day one... my Jiffy with the composite gear case never would have survived ( I had to replace the gear case from a lesser "accident".. so in the last 2 weeks my 8" Ion has been run over by a Sportsman 570 and drilled into a gravel bed ( twice) fished in sub zero weather and it is like a timex watch( takes a licking and keeps on ticking)... my 80's vintage model 30 could take that kind of abuse... my newer Jiffy STX would not...and for Icing.. those little claw blades on the drill point of the STX are horrible... I used to carry a small propane torch to de-ice the "claws".. when they are ice free the are fast.. but once the ice up... the rig bucks like a wild Bronco..

Ever try peeing on the blades when they ice up?
-
No had not considered peeing on my auger. ha ha maybe next time.

I'm with Jibbs, got a Nils 8" i use with a drill for in the house. Have friends who have a few electrics with mixed results. Never had issues with my tank and the auger caddy setup on the back of the wheeler can't be beat.

Ouch!!
Good to know that they'll take a lickin...
-
I was so impressed, that I had to share this. ....So the vendor I bought the Ion from was FishUSA, I've always had great things to say when ordering in the past.
They called me today to see how things were going with reaching ION(theyve actually called ME several times this week concerned of the situation) I told them they were sending a new bit, but it wouldn't be here till next Thursday.
Get this....they said "we understand the trouble you've had with the unit and that's unacceptable, we're shipping a whole new auger to you tonight, you'll be on the ice with it by noon tomorrow. We will deal with Ion".
Wow! Now that's customer service!!...just a plug for those at FishUSA. I can't say enough good about them.
-
Wow, thanks for sharing your story and big congrats to FishUSA for stepping up for you!
-
Wow... that is special... nice of them to step up... puts them on an approved vendor list in my book for sure.
Good luck with the replacement.
-
Awesome. Good luck ripping holes.
-
That’s service. Love it. Glad your story seems to be approaching a happy end. Let us know how it works out in future conditions. I’m kind of thinking about one as well, but want a 10”, and am thinking it might be a good idea to wait a few generations for technical advancement.

WOW, that is some great customer service! Mine shows up tomorrow night from another vendor,hopefully my 10" cuts alright ! I'm glad you got your issues finally resolved. Are there any tips for cutting with an auger that doesn't have the starter chisel tip like a Jiffy ?

The OP has the 10” model.
Also on FishUSA, I have also had fantastic experiences with their customer service.

Do you remember the Turtle and the Hare story? ::)
-
I ran it over with my wheeler...it came out the back
Glad to hear that worked out for you, Joe. No reason to be embarrassed, I think Jiggin puts all his augers through that test? :-\
Glad things are working out for you, HuntnFish603.
If that woman from Ardisam is who I think she is, she's always been a sweetheart and very knowledgeable too.
Fish USA really stepped up to the plate.
I've never had any issues with things I've bought there and fast service!
Good for them.

I use a Nils and just slight downward pressure is all you need...don’t force it and keep it straight

HnF, Thanks for the info as the pic I saw looked void of the chisel tip.my bad! My auger will arrive today and can't wait to try it out.
-
Very nice to hear. Fish USA is very good. Customer service is excellent. Thats what kinda service you get when the company is run by actual fisherman. Very good story. Good.luck
-
New auger at my door at 10 am. Took it out for a test after work. Worked flawless!!
What a difference from the first one. Side by side could definitely see it was off.
Ready for tomorrow!
Although it won't be pretty. there was already a lake on top of the lake, and the heavy rain hasn't even come yet.

-
if your lucky maybe they will let you keep the extra auger flute for your troubles.

Good to hear about Ion and FishUSA!
My 10" will finally be here tomorrow (I did not get mine from FishUSA).
I just sent Cold Snap an email asking if they were going to make a 10" Ion X cover and they replied that they may make one next year. My cold snap cover works really well to keep the snow off my Nils head between holes and minimize icing when it is really cold. Ion x 10 owners Send Cold Snap an email asking about a cover for the 10's to inspire them to make a 10" cover next year.
