Finally was able to find a weekend to fish with my dad. he has an old stingray auger. For the last few years it has started malfunctioning and dies out when you hit the gas. We went out saturday and we were not able to get to run enough to drill holes. He has taken to the shop many times for repairs. We tossed around the idea of getting something newer. The idea of an electric auger seems appealing because no more gas mixtures, no more pull cords, etc I have the Strikemaster 40volt and I absolutely love it. Cuts holes like butter and no gas and no sore arms and hands trying to pull start. ????
From those of you that have electric augers are their brands to stay away from or recommendation. We typically drill less than 20 holes. Besides making sure they are charged is their any other maintenance or issues with these drills?
Thanks in advance.
