Kevin, I owned a 10" gas auger for years. It was heavy, leaked gas on several occasions (not fun when it leaked inside of the Suburban and we had to breath those fumes) and occasionally was difficult to start. I have had an electric, with a 6" and 8" Nils blade, for a couple years. It is much lighter, never leaks gas and has always started instantly. I drill lots of holes and although I always carry three batteries out on the ice I have never had to use the third battery. If I need to make a bigger hole all I need to do is use my ice saw to quickly and easily cut out the bridge between three holes.
