Some hand augers use to come with little metal shims that are maybe 1/4 x 1 in. that fit between the auger blades and the auger. They are placed between the mount bolts. I have kept a set of these down thru the years and when I purchase a new hand auger and it doesn't seem to cut as well as I think it should I install a pair of them, sometimes it helps big time. The last hand auger I bought a few years ago at Cabelas was made by Strike Master and it cuts like a champ right out of the box. The litle wife bought me a Strike Master Lazer Mag power auger for Christmas It is by far the best power auger I have ever used.
