Eskimo HC40 Propane Power Ice Auger is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 197.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Louie from Appears to be of good quality. I've only used this auger a couple of times, but so far, I like it. Drills fast and seems to have plenty of power. The only negatives I've noticed are relatively minor; the clasp that flips over to hold the propane cylinder is pretty flimsy, it will bend if you aren't careful. The oil cap is hard to get started when turning it in,after checking oil , care required so you don't ruin the threads. I read several reviews before making a purchase, and a number of them raved about it starting on the first pull. Mine doesn't, sometimes requires two or three, but I can live with that. Bottom line, I like it and would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by icefisherman4 from Awesome auger I have owned many augers and power augers over the years and this is the best. Starts in 1-pull even when left in subzero temps, and cuts ice super fast. No more gas smell, mixing oil, ethanol concerns, clogged carbs, or worrying if the auger will start when you get out on the ice. Seems well built for years of trouble and maintenance-free operation!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jeff17 from Easy to use and reliable I bought this auger a couple months ago. Only have been out once. I previously used a manual hand auger and oh my, is this a huge upgrade. I did my research and decided that propane was the way to go (over gas). I think I made the right choice. The setup is so simple. Add oil, attach the auger to the motor, attach the propane cylinder, flip switch to “on” position, no more then a few pulls of the starter and it’s gold. Cut through the ice with ease. No mixing of gasoline, started right up everytime. Appears very well built and will last for years. I’m hoping for more ice next winter so I can get out more often.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Joe B from Great auger. Used only one season so far, but works great. Powerful, easy start, drills fast. Two things could use improvement. The latch that holds the propane bottle pops open almost every time I drill a hole, or even bump it for that matter. Needs to be a more secure setup. The propane valve bit me a few times when I didn't have gloves on. It has pinch points and if you're not careful it will pinch your fingers when turning the fuel on or off. OUCH! The fuel valve is the only way to stop the motor, so its used often. It's very painful when that happens. Other than those two things, I would definitely recommend it!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Bennythajet from Do not buy this auger. I have had so many troubles with the motor it's unreal. Bought this thing a year ago thinking it would be excellent in thick ice, and since the first day of buying it it's had issues. First off, the blades on it came super dull so I'm not sure if it was a return or just a bad set. First time cutting took over 2 minutes to go through 20 inches of ice. But the problems didn't stop there. I had multiple pieces of plastic break of the motor housing over time from a combination of negative temps and cheap parts. The reason this thing is so light is because it's made of cheap plastic. I have shoveled out 400 dollars for this thing and it has been nothing but a pain. Seriously, do not buy this product. I am currently trying to resolve my issues with Eskimo but I doubt I'll get my money back for this thing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Iceraider64 from Auger great - but my service was better! Ordered by phone and the lady was fantastic. A mistake was made and the next agent was also amazing. The auger cut though 6 inches yesterday no trouble at all. Read the instructions in the dark to get it started in the parking lot of the boat launch - so dang easy...should have bought one sooner. Light exhaust smell - but way better than my stinky two-stroke that jarred my bones as it cut. I could barely feel this thing slicing through the ice. Pretty quiet too. Well worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NOCO Icefishing from Simple to use and powerful This is my first mechanized auger - I did not want to deal with mixed gas or a battery. I have used the auger at least of dozen different days of fishing; drilling multiple holes each day. The propane auger consistently powered through 20 plus inches of hard ice - we have had a very cold winter. I also want to add the ease of starting the unit - I have found that you can pull the starter cord at a consistent easy pull and because of the propane pressurized line the unit fires simply - even when the temperature is below ZERO. One suggestion - be sure to let the unit warm up for 30 seconds or so before drilling the first hole - this is recommended in the owners manual as well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Twister. from Eskimo ice augers Great product. Have a different make propane auger that turns counterclockwise. Works great but the water gets thrown at the operator. On the Eskimo that turns clockwise, the water is thrown away from operator. Also I have different size augers that I kept from previous augers. Because my last propane auger turned backwards, I could not use my old augers on it. But I can with this new one that turns clockwise. But the best feature is no mixing of gas, and no choke to deal with. The propane ones start very easy, usually on first or second pull. And when the bottle is done, you just replace it.
