Where to find Used Ice Augers
When it comes time to find that used auger sometimes it can be a bit of a hassle locating it. First and foremost you need to be confident that you are getting a square deal. Generally a third party service that will ensure you get your product in good shape is in order. If you order through Ebay you are able to pay with PayPal which is a great insurance policy that your auger will arrive in good shape. If not simply dispute the claim and get your money back. It actually is as simple in this case as doing that. Amazon is another place to look, but the number of used ice augers is relatively few and therefore you can't really depend on them to find anything. Craigslist is the other place to find used augers. The beauty there is that you can meet face to face and test out the auger before actually purchasing it. Of course, there is no guarantee here either and given the ever present danger in meeting people face to face these days it could be better to just buy it online. Plus, you will need to pay for gas and your time to go and meet this person, and that doesn't even account for the times that you go and meet this person and they completely flake on you (sorry if I have brought my bad experiences to this site, but cest la vie I guess).
What to look for in a used ice auger for sale
Now comes the time when you lay your hard earned money down for your newest ice auger. Buying used can be a phenomenal deal, but just be sure that you have your ducks in a row before making the final decision. First and foremost I would say that you should be looking for a quality brand of auger. Names that have been around for a while or ones that are known to have quality workmanship. When it comes to hand augers perhaps the best one known for its quality is the Nils Master ice auger. Sure they are a relatively johnny come lately to the game of ice fishing in North America having come from across the pond, but rest assured these augers are top notch. The cutting head is more like a drill bit than the thin blades of nearly all hand augers. Plus it can be easily turned into a powered auger simply by buying a powerhead later on. The other major player out there is Strikemaster. The Strikemaster Mora hand auger is the best selling auger in the world for a reason: great price for a good auger. If you want to go up in price, they do offer the Strikemaster Lazer ice auger which is the fastest auger out there not named Nils.
If you are looking for a gas ice auger for sale, you should adhere to the same ideas as above. Again, Nils makes high quality gas ice augers that are coupled with a Tecumseh powerhead to make the best combination of cutting speed on the market period. They aren't cheap and they don't go for sale often, so if you see one I would suggest you snag it quickly. Other great brands out there include Jiffy (which has been around for decade), Strikemaster and Eskimo. If you go outside of these brands I think you are asking for trouble.
Finally electric ice augers have become more and more prominent over the year. Finding a quality, used electric ice auger for sale is another story. It seems that once people make their purchase of these they hold them tight. If you can find one I would suggest either the Icegator ice auger, which is crazy fast and known to have great customer service or the Strikemaster electric ice auger. One final thing of note here is that you should stay away from older electric augers, the technology has come a LONG ways since they were first introduced. It would be a better use of your money to go with a brand new one if all that is available is an early 1990's or older auger.
One final thing to note is the reason that the person is selling their ice auger. Granted this is an inexact science, but you would be amazed at how many times people buy new ice fishing gear and then rarely if ever use it. If someone bought an auger and only used it 5 times and you get it for 50% of retail, you basically just got a brand new auger for half price. Trust me, these deals are out there everywhere, just look.
So there you have it, an in depth guide as well as a lot of great deal on used ice augers. When you are looking for the Jiffy ice auger for sale you can now know why and where to look.
