After watching a few videos I was ready to take the plunge on a new StrikeMaster 40V 10 Inch Auger. I have been using a Nils with a Milwaukee fuel for the past 5 years. Only complaint was I wanted a 10" hole instead of 8". I started looking for one and quickly found out that a 10 inch auger might be impossible this year and the 8's were pretty much sold out everywhere also. After thinking about it, Dags bait and tackle came to mind. I called and sure enough they had a bunch of 8" ones but not a 10". BTW free battery too... After some discussion we are able to make a deal and switch the 8" to a 10" from another new gas unit. I then took the drive up to pick it up last Friday. I have been to many shops around New England and Dags bait and tackle is pretty cool one. They have anything you could imagine. One of the best stocked shops I have been too. They carried all the brand names and had everything on display to see and handle.
Thanks Dags Bait and Tackle !!!!
And the auger....... I don't like rave about new things in till they stand the test of time but so far its the nut's. Love the 10" hole. Drilled 13 holes in 12 inches of ice and only used one bar on the battery. Smooth, effortless drilling and fast.....
