So im planning on getting a hand ice auger with a drill adapter to use for ice fishing as i would prefer that over gas, however my main issue with buying a auger is the blades. Ive owned several pre owned augers and almost all of them have failed me and wanted me to quit fishing all together. Now im without a auger entirely. My main question is how can i know weather my blades are sharp before i get on the ice. How do i sharpen them? I have looked up videos on Youtube but cant really find anything that doesnt use a belt sander or angle grinder. I know its a simple question but I figured i might as well ask.
