The Strikemaster Lazer! Probably the fastest cutting had auger out there. The Mora does the job as well just a little slower.
Have to agree, as far as quality, durability and speed the Lazer is probably the best hand auger on the market. No matter what type of auger you are looking for you can't go wrong with a StrikeMaster.
yep!! strikemaster lazer,,, best one going for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$4 sure do miss the ice fishing!!! Let buddy keep my power auger and shanty and equipment when I moved south!!! :-(

Last year I bought the Arctic Express from HT. It's like the Lazer but at almost 1/2 the price. It cuts fast. The only problem I've had with it is the bolt that holds the handle on is bent from breaking through the bottom of my holes. It's the inferior Chinese steel used to make the bolt.
6'' Lazer, ideal for panfish. You wont be sorry.
StrikeMaster Lazer is the only way to go. I've been "borrowing" augers from whomever is on the ice, and the Lazer is definately the easiest to drill with and highest quality.

i dont hardly ice fish but everything is frozen i picked up a 7 inch lazer today from blaines farm and fleet for 70 bucks, was a breeze going through 6-8 inches of ice....lol make sure you get extra blades lol
I use a 6" Nils....... Nothing better in my opinion..
I've got a 7" Mora and its treated me well for the past few years. I don't break out the 10" gas auger until the ice is over 1' thick. Less that 1 minute to drill a hole in 1' of ice with the Mora. Got mine for 5$ at a secondhand store with a new set of blades :D
