Floating device The auger includes a floating device so if the drill rod detaches from the drilling machine, the head can float on the surface of the water. This helps prevent loss and makes retrieval easier. Sturdy construction Built from aluminum alloy and nylon for good tensile strength and impact resistance while remaining lightweight. The combination provides durability without added weight. Carbide blade Carbide blade offers sharp, durable cutting to efficiently break through ice. A protective device helps prevent blade damage during storage and transport. Size and material 28 inch length and 6 inch diameter. This ice drill bit is designed for use in deep water bodies and through thick ice layers. Practical use scenarios - Ice fishing on large lakes with thick ice layers, where a reliable and easy-to-handle auger is beneficial. - Drilling through dense or multi-year ice on rivers or reservoirs during winter expeditions. - Remote or camping trips where equipment retrieval can be challenging, thanks to the floating feature and sturdy construction.
