Have a 5" Lazer (Made in Sweden) and a 4" Finbore III also made in Sweden. The 4" Finbore actually cuts a 4.5" hole and the 5" Lazer cuts a 5" hole. Both augers cut very well.
I'm still thinking about getting a 5" Lazer. Is $79.99 the going rate for a new one?
The only thing that would scare me about those is the availability of parts and blades. You guys live where a large percent of the population icefishes. Here NE Indiana they stock mainly Stikemaster hand equipment andJiffy and Strikemaster power augers. It's a difference of location and ice season. I was mad that Gander Mtn.started putting their stuff away already for open water season. We have at least a month of ice fishing left.Are you kidding me! Plus where I live Gander is the only chain store to carry ice equipment. We have 2 Dick'sSporting goods but as the name says they don't have it!Greg
