Drilled one hole and lost the auger!
Just a funny story:
Was at chain lakes two weeks ago. My buddy's auger was missing the pin that secures the handle to the actual auger. I figured I'd just jam my needle nose pliers in the hole instead of walking all the way back to the car to look for a pin we weren't even sure was there. This solution actually worked pretty well until the auger punched through the first hole. The pliers slipped out of the hole and before I could realized what was happening, I watched the end of the auger disappear under the ice. Felt pretty stupid. Luckily, some folks near us let us use their auger and we were all able to fish.
