Ice Saws

[Lazy_K]

Has anybody tried the folding ice saws like the one advertised by Fish's Sporting Toys or whatever it is?  How much work are they to cut spearing size holes say 2 foot by 4 foot?  We usually don't get more than about a foot of ice or a little more and I was just wondering are they worth the $100 or should we keep lugging the chainsaw around?

Thanks for any opinions.

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and I like it. I haven't had to cut any more than 12" of ice yet but it works great. The inital hole that you chip to get started kinda stinks but once your through the ice it  cuts pretty good and I honestly think it works better with thicker ice. I cut a 18"x60" hole in my smelt shack in about 7 min. give or take. Try one if you don't like it send it back.
