I borrowed a hand auger from a friend of mine to use for ice fishing this season. It is my first season ever ice fishing so I am new to the whole experience. I have been out a few times already and been lucky enough to either be with someone who has a nicer auger or find some holes that are barely frozen over.
The times that I have tried to bore a hole with mine I have noticed it does not cut through the ice at nearly the speed and efficiency of some others I have tried. I am guessing the blades need to be sharpened since it has not been used in years and stored in the garage at my friends.
What is the best way to sharpen the blades? Is there somewhere near Rexburg that will do a professional job? Or where can I buy some new blades and how much do they usually cost?
