Hi all, I’ve only had this a week but knew it would happen. Seeking recommendations to add a safety net to prevent the auger from going in the hole. Thanks Posted by Kindly_Teach9333
GangGrnThumb on January 30, 2025 9:03 pm A frisbee might work? Also check out the “Kovak Ice Master”, you could probably build something similar using a chunk of your broken saucer and some rope. I prefer the Ice Master type attachment, seems stable af and much smaller footprint in my sled.
muskiewhisperer on January 30, 2025 9:25 pm I would see if you can use [this Nils Auger adapter thing](https://www.fishusa.com/Ice-Master-Ice-Auger-Power-Drill-Conversion-Kit/?sku=106987) to hold the bit onto the drill. Looks less ghetto than a Frisbee or piece of wood. Edit: though I guess for the price of the Auger and adapter, you might as well just get a refund for this one and buy a strikemaster or eskimo.
