effective way of drilling with a hand auger
« on: Feb 02, 2005, 04:58 PM »
We where out on the weekend and there was 26" of ice.  and we didnt have a power auger so we didnt think we would be moving around all that much.  But than we decided to try using two people to drill the holes. each person puts a hand on top of the auger and they both turn it.  We where going through about 26" if ice in about 35 seconds.  still no comparison to a power auger but this method works great for us :)  Anybody else every try this?
