Nils make great augers, but you cant just go into any baitshop and get blades like Strikemaster.

Here is a vid of my Strikemaster Solo off Oak. That is with the 8 inch lazer blade. I have a seperate 10 inch chipper for opening old holes in my perm shack.

I like the Jiffy propane units, but have seen a few issues that would be show stopper on trips.
