Myself and one of my friends both own the Nils master auger and let me tell you, the reviews aren't lying. We've drilled through 2 ft of ice in just over 1 minute without working hard to do it. That thing is incredible! Whats even better is that there is a power head you can buy for it! I've seen youtube vids that show it go through about 2+feet of ice in seconds w/ that setup! All you would have to do is through in the handle in your sled if you want that as backup then if the motor runs out of gas, dies or whatever you just pop it off, put on the handle and you're back in business w/ minimal extra weight. Only problem I've found so far is the price of the power head. $450. If I ever decide to go w/ a gas auger I'm just getting the attachment and keeping my current auger!
