Didnt see any gunsafes at 50st or sherwood pk. The auger looks good and started really good tonight,but i will see this weekend how it performs and hopefully give you a review.The good thing about costco is that they have a very good return policy.

my brother has the eskimo 10" auger and its worked really well for a couple years. no issues so far

Returned my Mako from Costco after 2 trips last year. The cord blew in half before I even got 1 hole drilled the 2nd day. When I asked for a new one, they said they didnt have anymore because many had been returned and whatever was left was shipped back to the supplier. I got my money back no questions asked and went and spend an extra $150 on a Strikemaster and its treated me very well.

This was at the 50th St Costco in Edmonton.

Picked up one this morning on 50 st ,still had 6 more in stock.
Second one I have own ,very good machines ,just sell them every other year
And yes Delvine they are out of those gun safes.
Also wonder on those safes,what stops a guy from carring it out of your house when its full of guns....are they setup so you can bolt them down on the inside.

Yes, They are wider then the door most time.

, They are also bulky and weigh a lot, Very awkward to move. Depending on which one you get of course.

Well everyone has their preferences...so here is mine...not a big fan of eskimo augers. I have only ran the Jiffy 2hp and they rock and very light weight. I purchased 2 of them in the last 20yrs...the first one is still running good but went halfers on it with a buddy that passed away and i put it away until his son gets old enough to run it then its his. I beleive the new ones are cheaper made than the old...but still have had great success and i punch ALOT of holes through the winter. But like i said everyone has their preference...Chevy, dodge, ford...in that order...lol
