Sounds like " Name Bashing Other Peoples' Stuff " to me LOL!!!

Augers are pretty simple machines and I don't know that it matters all that much if they can drill a hole in 10 seconds or 20 seconds or if they start 1st pull or 30 seconds later on the 15th pull. As long as we can avoid hand drilling or chiselling we should be happy.

I bought a Jiffy since I have had them in the past and they worked well for me.

Back in Northern Ontario there was huge name bashing about the Major Snowmobile manufactures, truck bashing everywhere,now ice augers......I think it's part of the fun with any given past time to rib people about their gear.

I wonder if cooking forums have arguments about who makes the best equipment? ..........." I have been running a Cuisinart for 10 years and they are awesome;your Kitchenaid SUCKS!!!!!" LOL
