Me nor my buddies use the covers. This may be a dumb question, but wats the purpose of them? To protect blades from damage? When I first ice fished I rented an auger from our on base outdoor rec.. The auger was broken and the engine would rev up but the bit would barely spin at all, until and onld man came and saved our day. He had a long PVC pipe his auger fit into with a cap on one end and 2 holes on the other and a bungee cord that wrapped through the handle and onto the pipe through those hes he drilled. So the cover was about as long as the auger bit... It would probably be cheap and easy to make
They are provided to protect the blades as well as your fingers,bibs and shelter fabric. You're flirting with disaster going without one. I also own a 6" Nils and just on Friday bought the Cold Snap cover. Very nice!
I have a cold snap on auger cover for my nils. Pops on and off with ease..
