as an aging hand auger user- get the power auger if at all possible.
I used the new electric augers last year, we got about 30 holes in 24" of ice on 1 charge. But they have an external link to use a 12v battery. They're heavy and do require some work
just to keep em up, but I probably would've only cut 1 hole by hand per hour. No tune-ups, bad gas, or pulling your butt off. The jury can't reach a verdict. I still carry my hand-auger everywhere, in case I break threw. To bad we can't just use a lazer pointer!!!!
I have one and love it. This winter will be season 4 with mine. Just remember, like any tool you need to take care of them. If I lived up north and had thicker ice I would buy a gas auger.
I've had mine for 3 years and they do cut great. Any auger with dull blades will take extra work. I use mine on lakes that don't allow gas augers or early season when the ice is pretty thin. Its the gas auger otherwise. No regrets here on the Nils.
