When I was in the market for my ice auger (hand held) there were basically two models available, a blue one (can't remember the brand) and a black one (Laser brand). The blue model was about $20 cheaper. Most of the fishermen I knew bought the blue model because of the cost savings. I asked the sales clerk what made the $20 difference. He said the black laser model cut quicker. I spent the money and now all my fishing friends leave their blue model back in their trucks when I go along. Last week, it cut through 2 feet of ice at strawberry in about 2-3 minutes. My advice... spend the money when it comes to hand augers. Saves time and a lot of sweat.
