sorry to hear about your health. hope you get better soon.about making ice holes. my toy drill works perfect for me making 6" holes and all of my friends have them too. if i did NEED a dedicated power head i would buy icegator, but i don't and shouldn't ever. if the price came down to more "affordable" costs, it probably would sell more to those of us who do not NEED a dedicated power head. i'm pretty sure even if it were say 300$ i still wouldn't buy one as i have no need for it unless i needed to drill a bigger hole.i enjoy having tools that are used all year long tho and feel it makes for a wiser investment.smeltbuster does go the distance to help his fellow anglers in his area and that was nice of you to pick him. thanks for that. i know he'll test it for sure.
royjulius, go to the Eelpout fest. in Walker ,n, you may think it,s closer to LA-LA or never-never land!!! WOW, GOOD TIMES. WIRE
That 9.5" blade looks sweet. I see they're offered separately for gas units, but the site doesn't say which ones they are compatible with.
Well I just have to throw my two cents in. I bought one of the earlier units and was quite pleased with it at first, although it was a bit on the heavy side. I only cut maybe a couple hundred holes a year, used an 8" Nils auger, and babied it like it was my own first born. Then after about six years one day it wouldn't go at all. I contacted Greg and he told me that the unit wasn't worth repairing! I have since purchased an Ion and am very pleased with it and am confident in the customer service what with it being backed by more than one man.
thinking they cost 600$? and so that would be 100$ per year or 50 cents per hole was your cost and not worth repairing? wouldn't that be up to you if it was worth it or not? very odd!after six years, the battery should be shot is all. how much is the battery that fits yours cost? more than a whole new unit? can you use a over the counter battery?
After reading all the posts on here. I have to say I hate to see the bickering that a couple people can do which turns something sincere into a conspiracy. Just my own thoughts. I have owned a 12 volt and a 24 volt Icegator. Since I got my first it has been a huge draw. Ive had it on Saginaw bay all the way to Green Bay and down to south of Indy. People love to see it work and try it out on there own. It really is a fine piece of equipment. You really could see the difference it makes in the way people fish. No Gas, No hand cranking. It allow you to drill holes faster than any other auger and put more holes in, especially when your on the search for fish. I too have had a couple issues with mine and with both it was only the charger. After a phone call the 12v charger was quickly replaced. I did have a little issue with getting the 24 volt charger, but things happen. For what it is worth, my overall experience with Gator has been a good one and I`m glad I got with Mark & Greg to have the best Ice auger out. I hope the business gets itself on top of it all and stays there.
I have even thinking buying a 42v Icegator head to replace my Nils/Tanaka gas auger. I use the 6 inch Nils and also have a 8 inch. I like the thought of no gas, no fumes and quiet drilling. Is buying the head overkill for the 6 inch auger? I think the 42v Icegator head would probably weigh more than the Tanaka power head too.
Well you are in luck because Icegator is no more, so quit bad mouthing Greg. I was one of the few have been treated with the utmost respect. I wonder how this could be? I will let you take the time to sit,pause and reflect on what it takes to sell a product to a customer who did get his order and still needs to bad mouth a business no more.
Reflection done. The issue here is that he did not treat everyone with the same respect that he treated you with. How many people sent money to him and are still posting on his Facebook page wondering what is going on. Has he put up any notice on his page to let these people know he is out of business? He obviously hasn't contacted them or replied to them to let them know that they will be taken care of. just because I got what I ordered doesn't mean it was handled with good customer service.
How exactly do I have no horse in the race? I just spent over $700 on an auger that now has no source for replacement parts and no support because of the poor customer service of the company.
I'm on the South Shore of Massachusetts. If you are local, come on over and I'll sell it. There's no way I'm shipping it.
I just starting reading some of the comments on the Facebook page...Not impressed really...It really isn't even that fast of an auger IMO... Watch this comparison he made, really horrible because..1) He cant run a gas auger properly2) His gas auger can't run properly3) The blades gotta be dull as hell4) I never have to lift my Eskimo to clear chips5) He lies about there being 36-40 inches there, maybe 24Don't believe me, watch for yourself..https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sj4b7NDNwNIMy 25 year old Eskimo, through about the same amount of ice...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWRyYBSw00Boy, I'm lucky I didn't lose my bit in the hole when I didn't clear the chips out... Lol<°)))>{
