I just got a cold snap for the ion ,love it. Fingers never get near the blade. Going to get one for the hand auger next. Not that expensive
Electric tape has saved many a day of cuts that won't clot up. A lot of blood flows to the hands, and when ice fishing generally they are exposed. The body sends more blood (dilated capillaries) to the hands to warm them up, so it is more difficult to get a clot due to increased blood flow. That, or the blood thinning properties of alcohol, but that might be more my problem. Slap some electric tape (colored works the best, doesn't leave black gunk behind), leave it on until you are back at home or in a warm place and gently peel it off and dab some new skin on it. Wha-lah, you're practically a paramedic.
superglue would have worked to. but i didn't have any. i thought i had duct tape in my car but i didn't. it really wasn't that bad. every time i drilled a hole it would drip on the ice. looked worse than it was. i barely touched the blade. they are so sharp i didn't even feel it. i now have bandaids in my car.
