I have a 4" and a 6" Finbore III auger and really like them, more so than the Nils I had. Lazer blades will fit just make shure if you get Lazer replacement blades they are made in Sweden, the chinesse blades are junk.

I love my 6" Fin Bore III. Used it twice and I may never take the power auger out again unless I am fishing for pike.

I've got several packs of Swedish Fin Bore replacement blades for my Fin Bore lll 6".  Replaced the originals with a set of these blades...cuts like a Piece of s#$@.   I noticed the original blades are about 2-3 mm wider.  Do you think I have to shim these replacements and if you do, where would you suggest shimming?

Thanks..

As of this evening, there's still at least one new 6" Nils hand auger at:

Northwoods Sporting Goods
Hancock, MI
906.482.5210
[email protected]
www.northwoodsports.co m
Cost:  $125.00

BTW, I'm not an employee or owner at Northwoods, just trying to pass on availability to those that still might be interested in one yet this year.
