00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:02.280
hey guys it's like the kent street

2
00:00:02.280 --> 00:00:04.590
from athlon outdoors today we're going to

3
00:00:04.590 --> 00:00:05.970
talk about ice augers

4
00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:13.710
so now when you hear ice augers

5
00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:15.510
i want you to think ice fishing

6
00:00:15.570 --> 00:00:17.550
so they do use augurs for dirt

7
00:00:17.550 --> 00:00:19.523
soil of other things too but they

8
00:00:19.523 --> 00:00:21.690
never talk about ice fishing augers now

9
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:23.940
there's two main kinds are there was

10
00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:25.890
a few more there was propane and

11
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:26.820
gas as well

12
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.700
but gasoline and propane augers have kind

13
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.050
of been phased out of the market

14
00:00:31.530 --> 00:00:33.450
due to the costs for weight and

15
00:00:33.750 --> 00:00:35.790
just the angler's needs so the two

16
00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:38.310
main kinds go over today are electric

17
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:42.000
augers and manual authors so manual auger

18
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.800
is exactly what it sounds like it's

19
00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.440
powered by you it's manual right so

20
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.280
this one is a

21
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.710
manual auger like this and what you

22
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:51.240
do is you pull out the ice

23
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:52.740
you hold the top gear and the

24
00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:55.440
spins and this handle spins and you

25
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:57.660
rotate it like this your hands real

26
00:00:57.660 --> 00:01:00.240
your own holes now there is labor

27
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.400
involved so that's the downside that's the

28
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.710
obvious con of using a manual auger

29
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:05.880
is you have to do it by

30
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:07.380
hand yourself but

31
00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:09.930
the biggest pro is the cost is

32
00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:11.433
very minimal to get into a manual

33
00:01:11.433 --> 00:01:13.530
lager and of course the weight is

34
00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:14.880
a big issue so this is very

35
00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.950
lightweight very easy to bring around with

36
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:18.240
you if you don't want to drag

37
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:19.320
your gear on the ice all day

38
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:20.970
you get those over your shoulder this

39
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:23.310
is a pretty easy tool is that

40
00:01:23.310 --> 00:01:25.920
it was going to electric electric has

41
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.600
a lot more pros than cons

42
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.670
with an electric auger like this one

43
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:30.210
right here

44
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.290
it's a little bit heavier it's still

45
00:01:34.290 --> 00:01:36.420
under twenty pounds and still very manageable

46
00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:38.280
but you have the beauty of no

47
00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.130
manual labor to push a button drill

48
00:01:41.130 --> 00:01:42.600
down on the ice and it'll last

49
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:44.640
all day so the reason why i

50
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.070
like electric augers for myself over the

51
00:01:47.070 --> 00:01:50.280
older propane or gasoline fueled one are

52
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:51.600
i usually drill holes inside

53
00:01:51.630 --> 00:01:53.340
have an ice and if you're inside

54
00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:54.930
of a covered area you don't want

55
00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:56.280
to use gas you don't like either

56
00:01:56.281 --> 00:01:58.950
propane it does expels have exhausted some

57
00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:01.260
odor it's not always fun but also

58
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.300
those are super heavy and they're not

59
00:02:03.300 --> 00:02:05.700
really reliable gas augers are really tough

60
00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:07.200
to start where it was cold outside

61
00:02:07.410 --> 00:02:08.340
you have to let them warm up

62
00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:10.950
first propane augers run out of propane

63
00:02:10.950 --> 00:02:11.490
as well

64
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.520
electric augers are very reliable really easy

65
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.530
to use and you can bring multiple

66
00:02:16.530 --> 00:02:18.836
batteries with you to sit all day

67
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:20.730
on a trip in charge of raising

68
00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:23.370
them so in my experience electric augers

69
00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:25.470
are the best choice and manual auger

70
00:02:25.470 --> 00:02:27.420
is always a good backup into battery

71
00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:29.250
dies or you need a lightweight option

72
00:02:29.490 --> 00:02:30.810
so when you're out ice fishing pick

73
00:02:30.810 --> 00:02:31.920
which one is best for you

74
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:33.420
best for your budget and go out

75
00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:34.950
and drill some holes and catch some

76
00:02:34.951 --> 00:02:35.400
fish

77
00:02:36.510 --> 00:02:42.450
the
