Last year’s LOW auger fiasco…

Just a funny video of our 5-feet-of-ice-auger-gone-wild from LOW last March…

I hate to laugh at another guy’s misfortune… but that vid left me rolling! You’re lucky to have your fingers after the powerhead started spinning.

Thats was awsome! when can we expect the next video?

At least they had a power auger.. How bad would it be to drill a hole by hand and not find water?

Ask bobberal what happens when you drill a hole and don’t clean it out as you go down!!! He went home with a power head and an auger that was trashed because he “STUCK IT” in the ice and absolutely could not get it out!! We were on it with a pipe wrench and bar and it did not budge!! If you ask him today, he still blames the auger!!
DO NOT DRILL A HOLE WITHOUT CLEANING IT OUT ONCE OR TWICE!!!
At some point in your hole drilling experience you will get an auger stuck!! It took bobberal over 3 hrs of chiseling to get his auger out of the ice!! The worst part of that was that it was in his wheel house and he had to get it out or he couldn’t move the house!! The auger was sticking up about 18″ above the floor!!
If I remember correctly, bobberal was a little upset with his auger that day. I was a 1/4 mile away and I could here someone cussin’ outside………..yeah, it was him!
