After my power auger puked out on at Henrys the other day I am also buying a Nils hand auger as a back up.
Everett, you have never owned a power auger because you are young and can still take the workout a hand auger dishes out. [cool]
In all seriousness the reason I don't like hand augers...
1. I don't like to sweat.[
] When you sweat you can end up getting cold faster. With a power auger I don't sweat and therefore keep warm all day long.
2. I like to drill tons of holes at the beginning of the day and then I prefer to not drill for the rest of the day. When I say a ton of holes I mean between 20-80 especially when I am searching for perch. I would love to see you have an 25 hole race with a power auger even with the Nils.
3. I don't like to sweat.[:p] Fishing is supposed to be relaxing and fun not a full blown work out.
