Fisherman Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 On occasion I read things that really make you wonder, what did they eat for breakfast, a bowl of ____? If you were to buy a store brand item such as Bass Pro socks, I really believe you would bring them back to Bass Pro for exchange or replacement. Now if you were to buy a Sail brand hand auger and needed an extension, where would you be inclined to go? Why would you even ask such a question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkpie Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I really don’t see the need to post something from another forum over here, other than a need to knock someone. If your really need to know why, maybe send the guy a private message to satisfy yourself. There is no point to this. While the forum is a little slow, it doesn’t need this kind of traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 But I totally got his point if I bought something from a store and also needed an accessory for it, I would not leave with the product without the accessory or knowing where to buy it i would not just hope the internet people would have the answers even Pierre Elliott Trudeau said about half of what people post on the interweb is a lie.

porkpie Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 People ask for help everywhere. On every forum I frequent people ask for info on something or other. Often info they could google or call a store about. What’s the sense of this post on this forum other than mud slinging for no reason. He could’ve mocked the dude on the other forum if he wanted to. Answer that question reasonably and I’ll mail you a new in package AC shiner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock someone, some people may need a minor knock to get the thought process activated. If the particular person had said, I checked with stores A, B and C and struck out, I usually make the effort to go look and give them a direction. If I stuck a sore nerve with you, there's always a tylenol in the medicine cabinet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever needed an extension was in Manitoba, mid december and the handle went to the edge of the ice and I wasn't through yet, some of the locals had a good chuckle. But, being in friendly Manitoba, they poked a few holes for me and I was grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made an extension for mine primarily so I didn’t have to bend over to drill holes. Ice thickness didn’t have much to do with it for me anyway.

PUMP KNOWS Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I should've rephrased my question to the original post. I bought a Sail branded auger and clam plate to go with a milwaukee drill. I was looking for an extension for the drill because its short when attached to the clam plate. From what the Sail associate told me, they never carried an extension for their own drills. I was hoping maybe someone would know which brand extension would fit in a Sail branded auger. Thanks porkpie for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
