I only have a hand auger. Guess what! It starts every time!! I can generally have a hole drilled by the time some of those power augers start. They do out drill me on the second and third holes however... There have been times when the power squad borrowed my hand auger because theirs won't start. For now, the dependablility of the hand auger and weight thing persuade me to go manual, but as I get older I can see a power auger under the Christmas tree...but not yet!
I actually have two hand augers. 6" and an 8". Sometimes I take both. I do my search holes with the 6", cuts through in a hurry! Then if I get on large fish I'll drill an 8" hole for the line and use the 6" hole for the finder.
Just another opinion,
