Its stainless steel blades and all-metal transmission ensure durability and precision, making it the perfect tool for re-drilling holes in icy conditions. With a 5-year warranty, this auger is built to last. ## Description Features. Many ice anglers are switching to 4-cycle propane powered augers because they are clean burning and low maintenance. However they are also known to be heavy and hard to handle or lightweight and lack power. The Eskimo High Compression Propane auger was designed from the ground-up creating an auger that is both lightweight and powerful. Instead of just adapting gasoline engine to run on propane the engineers at Eskimo designed the engine on the HC40 to take full advantage of the higher octane rating of propane fuel. The higher compression ratio creates more power out of smaller package which means the angler has lighter weight auger with the power to cut either or 10 inch hole. The powerful high compression engine will perform for years when paired with the all-metal sealed ball bearing transmission and fast cutting blade Quantum augers. The Eskimo high compression propane auger gives the ice angler the reliability and dependability they have come to expect from Eskimo in an extremely powerful lightweight package. Review: if your in the market for a ice auger look no further this is the one for you .....ive used it to drill 50 or 60 holes in 14"of ice no issues at all and the one pound propane bottle still feels full and it starts the first pull every time .i couldnt be happier the desertcart shipping was fast and i took it out the day it was delivered only adjustment needed was the idle screw adj .took 5 sec and off to the lake i love this unit .cant believe i waited so long to buy a power auger . i love the idea when the end of season hits all i need to do is chance the 3.75 oz of oil and done. No gas to go bad or have any issues with fuel in the system over the summer months . also no smell of gas in my car my hands are clean . its about time someone made a true propane powered auger Im so glad Eskimo did . and they did it right you wont be sorry if you decide to buy this unit .cant say enough about it .almost forgot there was a rumor that this unit was under powered im here to tell you it got plenty of power it cuts thru ice with no issuer what so ever it doesnt bog or even act like its running out of power at all ..keep up the good work Eskimo and desertcart Review: My husband took this on a fishing trip at Lac Vieux Desert, which is the headwaters of the Wisconsin river.

He said that it started right up, and easily drilled through the extremely thick ice. The other guys with him have put theirs away, and they are all using this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by N***S on 3 February 2017* Arrived in a week. Free shipped at a price $60 less than anywhere else. 2016 model. Excellent auger. Easy set up. Cuts great. Have cut 200+holes and not a blip. Starts 1-2 pull. No need to push down when drilling, cuts 24-30" ice with ease. Had a part broke in shipping. Stellar customer service sent me replacement part overnight. Monday 1pm call and received part Tuesday afternoon. That is customer service. Had run jiffy propane last 4 years and still run a strike master gas auger, but this one walks all over both of them. No smoke, gas smell, and not as touchy as the jiffy. First Eskimo auger and am looking forward to many years of reliable service. Change oil and change propane tank. Good to go. Thanks for making a great product!
