It's almost like battery technology has improved enough to power motor vehicles or something  ;D ;D @)

If you get confused by all this information , just remember, any auger, hand , gas, propane or battery will drill that hole! Seen and tried them all, working with a Mikwaukee 2407, Ice Kicker 2 combo and loving it. Strike master auger.

Jiffy Mille Lac's chisel works pretty great for up to 12" of ice... just saying.
Quote- fishslap: I use a variety:  whistlin' bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser

outside of you feeling like you are carrying around some tractor implement, they work real nice.

I have an Eskimo P1 Rocket auger. Its fast, powerful and runs great. Cons its heavy and have to keep tanks warm. I have never had any issues with it, maintenance is just an oil change no big deal. That being said if I was currently in the market for an auger it would definitely be electric.

I use a Jiffy 4 propane auger and love it.  Other than the weight, it has never failed me.
