Not bad!
When there is ice on the lakes, I never make employee of the month!

There are several propane augers out there. I talked to a pro and he said they were great, but they sell all the time. Anyone know about the propane augers from experience? the Eskimo sale sounds terrific if we can take advantage.
We let the fish go and my Dad told me I had a wish. I wished the fish would live.

I use an electric auger but the propane augers are real nice too.  Anything is better than having to bring gasoline too with you when you are pulling a small sled, plus you don't get it on your hands and foul your bait.

PRO 4 10" here.  Love it so far.  Got it last year, so can't really comment on life span.  Hope the blades hold up for it because they are about 80 bones.
