Eskimo 8” bullet v2 Hand Auger
« on: Sep 17, 2019, 08:34 AM »
Has anyone tried to adapt a drill auger with a hand crank and turned the auger by hand? Would be for backup or thin ice.

Similar to the nils setup.
Fish On! zzzzzzzz

Think you will have better success just getting a hand auger? Mini Nero for under $100.00 saw a Swedish mora for under $60.00. From what I understand nils replacement blades are pretty expensive. I went with Nero cause I am going as light as I can. Good luck with whatever you go with!
