Title: Auger Blade Came Off in the Hole While Drilling
Post by: Banker on February 18, 2010, 10:26:34 PM
I must have loosen up my blades on accident because my blade came clear off today on my first hole- been fishin 15 years and never had that happen to me before- just changed em before the season too.

It was a bloopers reel day for sure- Found that I was missing one of the two nuts on the remaining blade- don't know if tightened them enough when I replaced the old blades in December- trust me they are on their good and tight now- don't know how I will get it em off come next December.

It's those speed holes you drill, you must have twisted the heads off. It's a 4" lazer right? I used it once and smelled smoke.

5 inch ..but who's counting right- tightened em up good- good thing I kept the old blades/screws from when I replaced em in December.
