Many ice anglers are switching to 4-cycle propane powered augers because they are clean burning and low maintenance. The Eskimo® HC40™ propane auger was designed from the ground up to run on propane, and the engineers at Eskimo took full advantage of the higher octane rating of propane fuel. The higher compression ratio creates more power out of a smaller package, meaning the angler has a lighter weight auger with the power to quickly cut an eight or ten inch hole. The powerful high compression HC40 engine, paired with an all-metal, sealed, ball bearing transmission and fast cutting 2 blade Quantum™ auger, gives anglers the reliability and dependability they have come to expect from Eskimo—in an extremely powerful, lightweight package.
Features may include:
Specially designed for high-compression, with enough power to turn either an 8" or 10" auger bit with ease and minimal weight added to the unit.
Ideal for re-drilling holes with its unique centering ring.
Holds readily available 1 lb. propane cylinder and easily connects and disconnects for convenient replacement.
No more need to prime the engine before startup, just open the valve and pull the recoil to begin drilling.
