I have a lightly used eskimo 8" gas auger for sale. It has had maybe 1.5 cans of trufuel (non ethanol gas) ran through it PM me if interested. I upgraded to a diesel.

If you go with a manual auger stick with 6" or less. Manual drilling an 8" hole gets old real fast.

Electric augers are all the rage but are pricey IMO. here is a comparison video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u3Z...ature=youtu.be

You can convert a cordless hammer drill like Matt suggested. Be sure to buy a brushless model with a lot of torque and have enough battery to last the day (5ah or greater). you will need an adapter and an extension to work with your auger of choice. Lots of guys use the Mora

If your getting a hand auger get a Nils! I can drill a hole pretty damn fast with that thing. It’s amazing!

My gas auger is super light. Some kinda Eskimo 8 inch or whatever. Cost me 299.00 3 years ago and I have zero regrets.

The Kdrills and all other options mentioned are all awesome ice drills. You just need to know what your willing to drag on the ice. Text me if you have questions homie!
