- Adds length to the auger setup, so it is most useful when thicker ice requires extra drilling depth rather than for everyday use.
- Designed for Eskimo electric and drill-adaptive auger models only, so compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.
- The aluminum construction is intended to keep added weight down, but it still adds another component to carry and manage on the ice.
- Uses a single bolt and nylon collar connection, which is straightforward, but depends on proper installation for a secure fit.
