Hey guys. Finally got to use my new Strikemaster 40V auger a few days ago, although only a few holes. It went through the ice like butter.
However, today I took it out and had some issues. Can’t tell if it was operator error or if it was an ice condition thing or what.
So what was happening (of course after I bragged this auger up and now had an audience), is as I was drilled through the ice the auger would act like it would jam up and completely stop. I’d have to back it out and re do it. It’s like the auger would get stuck on something. This happened in almost every hole I drilled, except maybe one or two. It would go down about 4-5” no problem then all of a sudden she would just jam up and completely stop.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks!
