Leecher Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hole will still be there tomorrow Jacque.... grab a big magnet and get the important part back, but take another auger to make the outing worth while! Sounds like a great idea Wayne but I think this auger as expired it's use and next year will be looking for a better component build... I hate plastic parts they put on some of the stuff they put on the shelves... I think this one was a mishap on my part I'll look very closely on my next purchase from now on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Get an old 6" finbore off kijiji and I'll send you a set of new blades! My friend got an old unit for $10 and it cuts like butter with the new blades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Definitely look at the finbores, they are amazing! My only complaint would be not enough flutes to help lift slush out of the hole, but other than that it's amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 As I said Jaques, if you want to hand drill buy one of these. Yes they're expensive but they are the best hand auger made. A little tough to find this late in the season but something to think about for next season. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1089564 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH LOL HH LOL Chinese are very much capable of producing high quality products, but it was white folks in the North American board rooms that asked for a cheap piece of s***.
