So, I'm planning on buying myself my first hand auger for Christmas. I'm tired of having to rely on my dead beat buddies waking up on time so we can get out on the ice. I'm interested in something with an 8" blade. Money really insn't a factor because I plan on it being a life-long investment. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for out there?
Sounds like you need to ask for some new fishing buddies also!
I would like to get a power auger, but it isn't in the budget. I will probably be going with a 6" Nils.
Fin Bore , if you can get used to the handle , it will smoke anything out there . Its kinda tricky to use , but the design gives you double the power as both arms are turning the bit . Instead of holding a knob at center , both arms are exerting force on the blades , twice the power with half the effort .....
NILS also has this handle design
Strikemaster used to sell, as an aftermarket, the offset handle for the Lazer. Does anyone know if they still do?
Can an offest handle be purchased for a Mora Auger???!?!?!?!?!
Yes you can put offset handle on a SM Mora however I would advise against it. The reason being the Mora augers turn much harder than the Lazer augers and a has a flatter blade angle which should be kept as perpendicular to the ice as possible.
