How to Drill a Perfect Ice Fishing Hole: Tips and Tricks for Using Your RAZR Ice Auger

Ice fishing can be a thrilling and rewarding activity, but it requires the right equipment and technique.

One of the most essential pieces of equipment for ice fishing is an ice auger, and RAZR Ice Augers are known for their quality and performance. However, drilling a perfect ice fishing hole requires more than just a good auger.


In this blog post, we'll explore some tips and tricks for using your RAZR Ice Auger to drill a perfect hole every time.

  1. Make sure all bolts are tight: Before you begin drilling, make sure all the bolts on your RAZR Ice Auger are tight. Loose bolts can cause the auger to wobble or vibrate, which can lead to an uneven hole.

  2. Stay plumb and level: To drill a perfect hole, it's important to keep your RAZR Ice Auger plumb and level. Use a level to ensure that the auger is perfectly vertical as you drill.

  3. Start slow with the variable speed trigger on your drill: When you start drilling, use the variable speed trigger on your drill to start slow. This will help you maintain control of the auger and prevent it from jumping around or getting stuck.

  4. Give it 100% power: Once you've started drilling, gradually increase the power until you're using 100% power. This will help you drill through the ice quickly and efficiently.

  5. Keep the auger spinning when flushing ice or removing the auger from the hole: When you're finished drilling, keep the auger spinning as you flush out the ice or remove the auger from the hole. This will help prevent the blades from getting stuck or frozen.

  6. Replace your blades if you have trouble drilling: If you're having trouble drilling or the auger is not cutting smoothly, it's time to replace your blades. Dull or damaged blades can impact the performance of your RAZR Ice Auger and make it difficult to drill a perfect hole.

In summary, drilling a perfect ice fishing hole requires proper technique and equipment. Make sure all bolts are tight, keep the auger plumb and level, start slow and gradually increase power, keep the auger spinning when flushing ice, and replace your blades if needed. By following these tips and tricks, you can use your RAZR Ice Auger to drill a perfect hole every time and make the most of your ice fishing experience.
