Big pro of the electric augers folks tend to overlook is this. Regardless of the speed, you don't have gas leaking all over your hands or the auger itself. Fish don't like bait handled with gas hands, and you defiantly aren't doing yourself any favors scenting your hole with gasoline. No more carrying a second set of gloves around just to handle the auger. Thanks for the Video!
Thanks for the input, I’ve been using electric for as long as I can remember so I’ve never thought of that, but it makes total sense! For me it’s always been about the weight, can’t beat being 10-20 pounds lighter than the gas alternatives!
I’ve never noticed any wobble after running it extensively for a full season and one trip out this year, I can see where the video makes it look like that though.
@@CCOutdoors that's why I asked, just bought mine yesterday and it had a good wobble, but I think it wasn't tight enough. Will it block when It will be tight enough ? I didn't want to strip the screw by overtightening it
Im picking one up next week? So you like it for redrilling holes? I do most of my fishing in my shack so use the same holes my gas Eskimo was good but to re drill them it would always bite and catch on the edge of the hole
I’m not sure I understand your comment, but no you won’t damage anything by removing or inserting the battery, my batteries have been in and out a ton in the past year with no damage to them.
Sounds like your internet can’t handle 1080p60, I think the Sony A6400 does just fine. Also, these augers aren’t that expensive when you put them next to the other electric auger options! 😉

Is there a bit of wobble where the auger attaches
to the drill? Maybe
the screw wasn't tight.

Great vid! I have the steel blade ion X. I like it but have been thinking about that auger. May have to just commit now haha
Thanks! I ran the ion x prior to the 40v and it was a great auger!

It’s awesome for re drilling holes, I’ve never used an auger that’s better for it
@@CCOutdoors sweet cant wait. Also whats the difference between the alpha and the alpha plus. Im looking at the plus cause its lighter
Did it come with the blade protector / cover?
@@DOOBERtv yes!
@CCOutdoors thank you 🙏
Thanks
That happens when you take the battery off ,can you hurt it when pulling it the power head

How is this auger for re drilling holes. Like in an ice castle? After they have froze over
It’s awesome! It was one of my main reasons for switching from strike master!
It was a world record 😳😅
Were did you get that 1970's camera to film probably couldn't get a nice one after buying that auger lol
