Nils Master!!!!! TrapperDirk will be the first to agree. He named his digger "Jiffy", because the Tanaka engine worked so well!!!! Right Trapper!!
Nils Master are the best quality augers on the market. IMO....Jiffys are junk.
I will state that while eskimo customer service is second to none, their new model mako's and stingrays are haveing some issues, at least in Canada. I have returned a stingray with carb problems, and am about to return a mako with the same problems. They are no longer running tecumseh motors, except in the 3hp line of barracudas, haveing replaced them with a motor/carb combo of their own design. I WILL NOT knock their customer service however, as it has been nothing short of fantastic. They do most certainly stand behind their products!!!
I like the Eskimo a lot. Ive got an earthquake post hole digger and ended up buying the ice auger with turbo blades for it this year. Cuts very good until i hit the bottom of the lake last weekend now i need a good sharpening or new ones
Nothing comes close, nothing. After that demonstration at the King last weekend how can you not believe and become a member of the "church of the nils". We meet Sunday mornings on the ice.
