My husband bought me my own auger for Christmas!!!  I now use a strike master electric with a 10" bit.  It is light, only about 22 lbs and I can carry it and drill holes as long as I want!  It is a beast drilling holes!  The only thing you hear is the ice cutting!  No funes, no pulling to start!  Just push the button and off I go!  I'd highly recommend it!

I bought an Eskimo 8" Hand Auger-60 bucks. Bought a Brocraft drill bit adapter-15 Bucks and I already had a 20 Volt Dewalt drill. Its works awesome, just hold onto it when it get down towards the crusty ice on the bottom..

all the electrics are great until you have some slush layers, then they are useless. i have the ion 8in . i just sold and strikemaster 10in lazer electric 50 amp and both completely stall out drilling w/ any slush in the hole. ask temper. he has the 8in kdrill w/ the same issue. keep your old jiffy for the late season ice. ;)

Never go anywhere w/o your backup!!! It won’t do you any good in your shed!!!

I AM looking HARD at that Strikemaster 40V for next year. OH YEAH, My birthday is June 15.  ;D :angel :icefish:
