Ice Auger Help

[FishingRookie]

I have an 8" lazer hand auger. After being a nice fellow fisherman towards the end of last season and letting some people borrow my auger to cut some holes, I noticed the blades were a little loose and after tightening, the auger did not work the same. I bought brand new blades and put them on and it was still very labor intensive to get a hole even through a few inches of ice.

I believe that the angle of the blades was somehow messed up.

Does anyone know anybody who does work on augers? Or does anyone have advice on how to get this thing back in working order?
