Top 5 Ice augers from Bestcovery.com

Came across this review while researching which ice auger to get my husband for christmas. Sold out of pick number 4 (jiffy) so went with pick number 5 (strikemaster). Check out the link below. You may have to paste it to your browser, not sure how to paste a link.

It seems to me that the site is a Strikemaster site.  A lot of BS.  Not a problem for those that use Strikemasters, but Nils is still the best auger made.  They all dig holes.

  • Ice fishing a sport, or just reason to buy stuff?

This review has the jiffy model as last years with the 3 horsepower techumsa engine. The jiffy engineered 3500 engine is not reviewed.
I thought the review was written by a non ice fisherman.

I don't think the Strikemaster Elactralazerf deserved a #3 spot. In the video of it the say "You can expect to ge 15 holes through 2 feet of ice on a full charge". Now granted I live in Ct and its rare we get even a foot of ice but I'd think at 8" to 12" the best you could hope to cut is 25 holes on a charge.
Sometimes it feels like I live in a Pat McManus story!
