If I were to get a hand auger it would be a Nils. Without a doubt the best out there. Take your blades down to Foothills Sharpening in Okotoks. They do a great job for like 10ish bucks and a short drive for you too. I take my auger blades there and have been for years. Have a couple sets so you never run out and they change quick. I carry 2 spares so always have extra. Don't need often but as example Dean and I had a time last year we had sandy ice and it dulled real quick. Did a pit stop on the tailgate with the
emerg tool kit and had a set that cut like butter at our next lake setup in no time.

I like the fin bore more. Use both with drill attachment. Bolt hole seems to get worn larger over time in both models.
Do people buy new blades or sharpen?
