I am thinking of upgrading my auger to this unit. It looks like it has good reviews. Any of you picked up one of these and can you give me your review? Specifically, the 8in. TIA.

I think a bigger question would be what do you use right now? All of these newer augers are pretty awesome. I ran an Ion G1 for a year, upgraded it to the composite bit for a year, then sold it...

Now I run a pistol bit up to 18" of ice and I picked up a smoking deal the Eskimo E40 late season last year. I'm extremely impressed with both of these augers.

Picked one up a few weeks ago, very impressed so far.

Currently have a kdrill with the Milwaukee and a Clam plate. Had it for 6-7 yrs. Fish almost entirely on Devils. Usually have sharpened yrly b4 each ice fishing season. Had the old, reliable, heavy, Model 30 Jiffy(8in) for yrs before that. Put that one out to pasture about 7yrs ago. Kick myself to this day for not keeping it as a "spare"! Kinda like guns, a guy can't have too many!! haha I did pick up a used 10in jiffy at a rummage sale a few yrs back, however, and start it up every so often to get the "smell of yesteryear" haha
