So after many questions about overlapping holes with the Lite Flite, I gave it a try. It did great!! Check out the footage if your looking into this auger!!

I concur! Did you try repunching any frozen holes so we can put that loathsome question to bed as well?

I looked in about a 1 mile radius, couldn't find one. Im going to reopen the holes I fished out of the day I filmed this.

I did this today a few times, with no issue, 8" holes with about 2" of new ice that had formed. No video of it, but it ripped right through the ice without hesitation. Very impressed with the auger, although somehow the cover cracked and broke 2nd trip out. Going to see how customer service is about getting another one.

Thanks. I’ve got asked probably 25 times if I’ve tried it, so figured I’d make a short video. Going to make another short one with it opening old holes!

Makes sense. I’ve never reopened a hole, so I plan on taking it slow
