Product Details

The Nils USA Hand Auger makes quick work of thick, midwinter ice with a one-piece, high-chromium steel cutting head that stays sharper longer than standard auger blades. The curved blade design slices efficiently through hard ice with minimal downward pressure, making it ideal for anglers chasing perch, walleye, or lake trout on frozen lakes. Its offset handle layout increases torque transfer directly to the cutting head, making drilling faster and smoother with less fatigue. Featuring a cushioned grip for comfort and a folding handle for compact transport, this auger delivers exceptional strength, control, and convenience. Each comes powder-coated blue with a red head and includes a protective cover to guard the cutting surface when stored.

  • One-piece cutting head made from high chromium steel for superior durability
  • Curved blades cut efficiently through thick ice with minimal effort
  • Offset handle increases torque for smoother drilling
  • Folding handle for easy transport and compact storage
  • Cushion grip handle provides added comfort
  • Compatible with Nils USA power auger powerheads
  • Includes plastic cutting head cover for safety and blade protection


To ensure your items arrive in one piece, some products are subject to an oversize packaging fee. This fee will be automatically added to your cart.

    when i received the auger i was disappointed. it appears that the company took an old drill head and refurbished it. they painted over old chipped paint without even sand blasting it clean. i am looking forward to trying it out soon, if it ever gets cold up here. i sure hope it works better than my old Mora. will re-review after i use it a while.

    This is my third season with the 8" Nils hand auger. I sent the cutting head out for repair because it was dropped by me step son from the height of 1.5 feet. If you drop this head in any way, or use pressure while cutting, you risk knocking the blades out of alignment and then auger will just wobble in the hole. Thankfully Frank DeLuca in Minnesota is a Nils master sharpener and got the head cutting again for only $20 plus shipping. I might add, Frank has the head so sharp that is shaves hair on your arm. The head now cuts better than it did when new so I just sent off my spare head for him to sharpen as well. Take care of the auger blades and always have the blade guard on and you will not have a problem. Keeping the blade guard on though is a challenge because it is a poor design.

    The best Ive used.

    Posted by Karl on June 12, 2019

    The best auger Ive ever used. Worth the price. Very easy to drill. It starts itself without excessive force and cuts fast.

    There is nothing better at drilling in the ice than a Nils USA hand auger. But after 4 years of success, I am having a hard time getting a 2nd head or getting my original head sharpened. How such a successful product could sell out is beyond me. Someone should be fired due to lost income for this Nils product!
