i seen these last year and they looked pretty neat. i like how you just use your hand auger bit, kinda pricey to just go out and buy one to try. anyone own or use one? if so how did you like it? and how many holes did you actually get to drill before it died?

For that money... I'd buy a gas auger and be done with it.

 

It needed to drill at least twenty-five holes through 36” of ice on a single battery charge, have a forward/reverse feature, and maintain an average weight for all ice auger drives.

 

25 holes.. we'd have to come back in by 9am !

A buddy of mine was thinking of getting one. He decided not to for the price.

Buy a hand auger in 6" if you want quiet. Buy a 10" gas auger if you want dependable and a large window to look down...lol.

Im not sure about you but on a bad day I will drill up to 30 holes just for myself to find good fish. Usually up to 4 people out with me...that's way to many holes for an electric.
