Just wait until you burn up that electric auger in 7 years and buying batteries every 4.my jiffy is 50 years old and on its 3rd sparkplug.only downside to gas augers are weight,but i grew up to be a strong man.the new gen iceman is not going to have the jiffy biceps.lol
If it ain't broke why fix it. Wait until everything is electric and you are only allowed to charge during specific days and times. I'll still be drilling while your waiting.
Personally I love the screaming of my gas powered 2 stroke and everyone else's on some hard water. Nothing beats the smell either.
THIS is old school!
I get my workout at the gym! Plus my Milwaukee Fuel is 6 years old now and still on the original batteries. And I use it a lot in the off season around the house. One of the best investments I ever made!
sweet so you pay for a workout,i get my exercise for free lugging a old jiffy around.i got a drill auger too but still dont think they will last as long as a gas engine.
I'm developing some ice-shanty air freshener that smells like two-stroke...anyone wanna get in on it?
Amish folks are saying when your electricity grid collapses and your truck fails I will still have my lantern and horse. I think they may have something there. Sound logic. We should all do that, right? We should all just toss all of this modern living and technology in the trash and get back to the good ole days. Makes perfectly good sense to me. We should get rid of our new trucks and all go find some from the 50's. Back when a truck was a truck and men drove them. You could fix them with a wrench and your own two hands. None of this fancy power breaks or power steering junk that is for wimps. I think I'm on to something here. I'm going home tonight and taking the furnace out of my house and putting in a wood burner just incase electricity become nonexistent in three years. Sometimes it is just funny. Before someone gets all fired-up. It was all in good fun. You do you.I was out a few weeks ago fishing deep creek. You could hear that gas augers running. I stopped and said that sound sure brings back the memories, I can smell the exhaust now, and thoughts of ripping on the string for 5 minutes and swearing at that thing. I've burnt gloves and clothes on them. Lugged those heavy pieces of meatal all over many lakes. The good ole days. I sold a gas auger for propane auger and a propane auger for an electric auger many years ago. For me personally there are way to many benefits to electric than a fuel based auger under the condition that I fish. I get the point of the thread. That sound is reminiscent of ice fishing.
im in.if it smells like klotz 2 stroke oil.smells great!!
imin !
I do drive a old truck,woodstove and live off my land as much as possible.lets say simple way of life.id rather go back in time than forward.some people will be shat out of luck when the electric grid goes down for any amount of time.i know its a ways off topic but....
Id take some beard oil too.lol.you could also come up with something like old spice gift sets...the seafoam edition.
Our power went out for a week back in that March storm 3? Years ago. Got a nice big 6500 watt generator that will keep us comfortable until the power comes back on. And I grew up next to an Amish farm, but I’ll pass on a manure scented air freshener............. ..even though it would bring back memories!
