Ice Fishing > Ice Augers Now you could get out your wife's garden tools and go chip a hole in the ice, or grab that ole monster maul you use to split firewood and smash a hole in the ice, but when it comes down to it, an auger with a sharp blade can't be beat. And especially, an electric auger, with a rechargeable lithium ion battery that will silently and efficiently drill over 60 holes in the ice on a single charge, CANNOT be beat.
