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.

    Best Ice Auger Ever Made!

    I don’t usually leave reviews, but this product is so outstanding I feel obligated to share my experience. I purchased the 6” Nils Hand Auger. It works amazing well- we drilled through approximately 18” of ice in 15 seconds. When I first ordered I debated about ordering the adapter for the cordless drill- there’s no need. This auger works so well, I’ll never buy a power auger. The only consideration you should have is regarding tip-ups: if you’re using a lot of tip-ups, I would recommend the 8” auger. My friend likes using tip-ups and the 6” hole is a little small, but workable. Other than that I cannot say enough good things about this product. I was the guy that always had to borrow someone’s gas auger because I thought that was the only effective way to drill through the ice. No longer is that the case! For those younger guys out there that just want to ice fish- save your money, buy a Nils hand auger like your Grandfather would- put what you save towards a vexilar- you’ll be waaay ahead! Brandon

    I’ve had my 6” Nils Hand auger for about two weeks now. I’ve drilled maybe a dozen holes, each one has been essentially the same mind blowing experience. A hot knife through butter analogy seems fitting. I didn’t time myself drilling through 24” of ice, but I would guess it took maybe 30 seconds. This thing puts all other hand augers I’ve used over the years to shame. I’m a Nils evangelist now.

    Everything in the process went smooth as would be. I received two auger less than a week after the order. I took it out that weekend and was very surprised at how easy it cut the ice.

    By far the best hand auger out there. I bought the six inch, it will drill through a foot in less than 10s. You can drill multiple holes in a row without getting tired. Highly recommend.
