Jeremy,
I ice fish with several retired friends that have nils 6" augers and they all say they are the best hand auger on the market. I bought mine 3 years ago and it is still cutting great. The most critical part of the auger are the blade tips. If they are damaged, it will not cut. I don't loan my auger to anyone, if someone needs a hole drilled I will do it for them, it only takes one hard drop on the blade tips to damage them. Last year, one of my friends loaned his nils to a guy that said he forgot his auger and just wanted to open up a couple of holes that he had drilled the day before, when he brought it back it wouldn't cut at all.
