when you own a manual auger... #shorts

When u realize u just made it thru the snow 🤣🤣

Anything over 6" with a hand auger with semi dull blades sure kills your day after your pooring sweat!

i bought a "6" ice auger on market place for 40 bucks delivered, got it today and it turned out to be an 8inch auger.. i was kinda happy at first cuz wohoo i got a larger ice auger than i thought i was getting, and then we got to the ice with it, i now wish it would've been the 6" instead hahaha.. very good size hole for pike and zander though.

I’m 41 now but when I was younger I was a hand auger drilling machine. I can still get after it but I guess I’m smarter now. When I was a kid my dad used to make us drill all the holes with a hand auger, you learned to get good and fast. Nils hand augers can do some serious work. I still keep a collapsible 4” nils in my shack to send the kids out with.
Me “Hey go drill me 6 holes over there”
Kids “ok dad got em, when we gonna set up some lines?”
“Oh nice work, oh suuure we’ll set some up”
One things for sure they are quiet on the ride in.

I got a 6" and a 4 " hand auger and I'd say they are both pretty slick I haven't had any issues and up to 16" of ice

I have the Eskimo 40cc 10” gas, starts first pull and can run all dayyy no need to worry about batteries and keeping them charged and warm

Go get a Home Depot card. They will give you interest free purchase for 12 months. Buy rigid drill with larger batteries. Then just get $30 adaptor. Done and easy on expenditures.

those blades are probably really dull. I seen ya do a cpl no-no's. I always cringed when my buddies asked to drill holes. those edges are very temperamental, hook that puppy up to a brushless drill!

[HansRiveraCreations]

if you have a decent torque drill on hand you can buy a used clam plate for around 60-80 bucks and hook up your drill to that, it wont be the best but its better then manual

[DanielSturge]

It's called MANual for a reason. Manual all the way!

[kevo]

Most of the new manual augers you can buy a drill attachment from strike master for 20 and bucks make it a drill auger.

I had a old manual one so i couldnt so i finally gave up and getting a K-drill or pistol bit cant stand drilling multiple holes in a foot of ice

[MariskaHargitay-]

Lol classic :p just got my clam plate this year and it’s been amazing once the ice gets thicker than 7 or 8 inches, so worth it to drill like 6 holes and not die :p

[keapaishere]

Dang my hands are cold, let’s warm them up hand auging through 17” of ice!!

[mariosanchez]

Had the same problem last year..6 inches was giving me problems..not this year..I got the drill attachment for mine..

[brianhelfenstein]

I have an Eskimo hand auger 8 in I've had for years and I'll be out on the lake and you'll see these guys come out in there augers won't start mine always starts LOL

[ryankater]

I have a black 8" or 10" hand auger and it goes through 2' in 30 secs or less

[armory]

Is it a better idea to get the gas/ electric one instead? 😂

[zachmiller]

This is why I would probably never buy a hand auger larger than 6"
