I have never used a flat bladed auger But when i first got my Eskimo with the turbo blades I didn't mind it and it didn't take that long at all to get threw a foot of ice. Adding the offset handle and its great I do have to take a break after a couple holes threw ice more than 15 inches. If your going to keep it Might look at these and see if they make one that fits your model http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-INCH-MORA-TO-L...true&rt=nc although with the adapter and a set of blades would cost you just about as much for a new lazer. If you return it i would really look at the finbor III It has the offset handle But doesn't cost as much as the nils. I have a brand new nils But haven't used it yet as im not sure I want to go to the trouble of having the heads sharpened and having a backup head.
