Default HT Nero Ice Auger - a great value

Last year I found a killer deal on a 7" Nero auger at Walmart. If you're in the market for a hand or drill attached ice auger I would think hard about this one. It's seriously good, I used it this past weekend with the drill and it cuts like butter. The only downside is because it doesn't have a pilot point I couldn't drill two holes beside each other.

I would like to try it next to one of those new Strikemaster lite flights. I'm sure the lite flight is awesome, especially with the pilot point, but the Nero is a great value.

Since I'm a fisherman I will probably end up with both, can't turn down a good sale

Put it on an electric drill. I have read they work real well. I believe it is a Russian made unit if I recall and very well liked over there.

Good eye!

I did put it on a drill but it's just as nice using the hand cranks when the ice isn't too thick. Yes it is the same Russian design, I spoke with HT Enterprises about it and this auger is one of the ones used in the World Ice Fishing Championships. Now those guys are extreme:
