the kind of bar you got is uesd more for fence post holes than ice holes. but the one i have is just like it,(i'm getting a new one this year tho) lol i drilled a hole in one end, the one with the point and put some heavy cord on it to wrap around my arm.. this lurned by droping 2 bar's through holes.. [unsure] ends the fishing trip fast.
punching a hole with a bar is a good way to cut thin hard ice.. it works like a ice pic, smashing it down on the ice will crack the ice all the way through.. so if you start and make the size and shape of hole you want and just keep hitting the ice around the outside area of the ice hole it will brake in one or two big pice's just push it under the ice and slide it out of the away from your hole,or ues the bar to lift the ice blocks out of the hole.. they work great for punching old holes open as well..
