Value of Mora Offset 6" hand auger

[fishm_n]

I picked one up today and have always wanted one. the money would be nice too.  I am tossed between keeping it and not. It is the folding handle type.  What are your thoughts.

To get a new one here they run about 170 to 200 depending on rather its the arctic, expert pro or easy. Giving the fact that shipping is a killer on these getting them from over seas you might want to hang onto it . If were talking about the old Mora like this photo here around  30 to 50 bucks

You can probably sell the handle for $30 or so. Nobody will want the auger, theyll want the handle for a lazer auger.

yes, save!  The old Mora was never very good.  Cut off the shaft just above the blade/flute section.  Save the lower shaft material for making lazer shaft extensions. Mount the offset handle (with folding mechanism, and a shaft extension below it) on a laser - closest thing to a power auger you'll ever find!  No more numb left arm, and you'll drill 2-3 times more holes before you're pooped!  I did that to my laser to get a longer, folding one.  Takes some practice to coordinate your movements, but well worth the effort!

I was wondering if that would work, Ice fishermen are funny when manufacturers wont give us what we want we build it. I went a slightly different route
