Ice auger?

[EyLayo]

It appears that someone stole my auger. I would like to hear opinions about the different brands/models out there. Anyone have one for sale? Thanks in advance.

We use 8" nils and love em.
If I were you I would be looking for an auger that you can use a portable drill with. I have used electrics, hand, and gas before but I am far happier with a drill than any of the others.  There are multiple uses on the ice plus less weight.

Just wondering where your auger was at that it got stolen?

I have tried using a hand drill , find it hard to start the hole. It wants to wander around,  what's your secret to getting the hole started?

Sometimes my auger will get some slush that freezes over the blades. That makes it hard to start drilling a new hole. If you’re using a power drill, simply lift the auger out of the slush hole and spin it for a few seconds in the air. This gets most of the water off the blades. Also try laying it sideways after drilling. This keeps the water from running down the fliting and stopping on the blades
