Just got a new hand auger
« on: Jan 20, 2006, 01:05 PM »
just got a new 8" mora. Im surprised at how easy it cuts or maybe its because my arms are so jacked from using the ht hand auger for a couple weeks. great deal too i returned the ht at my local walmart used and not even bought there and paid ten bucks to get the strikemaster.

A feather would be an upgrade over a HT auger...lol.

Moras are good augers, treat it well, and it will do the same for you.

nope they are deff not on backwards. the only thing that i cant think of by looking at it, is that its not touching enough of the ice.

I have 3 hand augers two mora and one lazer, the lazer cuts good and the moras won't cut for beans. I never use any of them. Hand augering any amount of ice waists way to much time. Jiffy all the way! I go out to fish not exersize!

i bought a pare of new blades this year and they wouldn't cut at all so i took them and got a new pare and they work fine don't know why the other pare wouldn't cut and i know they were on right.

i just returned 2 lazer hand augers. right out of the box and they didn't cut at all. they just bound up on every turn. they sent me blades too and it still bound up. i bought a power auger. my blue mora worked alot better.
