never used a nils,BUT I learned last year 8" holes are a b***h to drill by hand.used a6" mora for 15 yrs. wasn't hard to drill a foot of ice. bought a 8" mora last year and it about did me in. almost twice as much area in an 8" compared to a 6" hole.wasn't going to do it this year and bought a MAKO 8". just waiting to get it out!!
