3 feet of ice? lol. I keep one in my truck, doesn’t take up much room and isn’t heavy. I haven’t seen a hand auger that didn’t work if the blades were sharp. I have a BPS one and it works fine.
I think for the $40 I spent on it, someday it’ll save the day. Would certainly be better than going home. I’d rather auger through 3 feet than tuck tail and go home, lol.
When you think of the effort it takes to pull out and set up a power auger, I doubt it saves all that much energy just using a hand one. Yet id never give up my power auger, as I punch so many holes it probably looks like I’m doing a seismic survey, lol.
