Manual device for the formation of deaf and through holes in the ice. It is an assembly structure consisting of a rotary knob with a freely rotating handle, a screw - a helical rod. Close the device cutting knives. The principle of operation is based on cutting off part of the ice with subsequent removal along the helical structure of the drill. Torque rotates the rotation. Knives are straight or spherical. The latter work more effectively on dry and wet viscous ice massif. The structure includes two or three cutting devices. Selection criteria: hole diameter and depth, knife material, overall dimensions and weight.

Satellite LR-130 BS - one of the inexpensive
Ice screw domestic development. It is executed according to the screw scheme. Consists of a rotating handle connected by a hinge with a screw part. The cutting part is made of heat-strengthened steel 65G. Sharpening at an optimum angle of 30 degrees.
Knives are interchangeable and can be installed on other ice-drills of domestic production. Thanks to the folding knot, the design folds in half, providing convenience during transportation. Part of the surface is protected by a corrosion-resistant polymer coating.
Pros:
- Interchangeable knives, elongated auger.
- Reliable fixation of the handle and screw, in the likeness of Swedish products.
- Lowest price, foldable, easy to carry.
Minuses:
- Slightly heavy.
Helios HS-110D - optimal weight distribution
Classic ice screw made by a screw pattern. Cuts a through hole in the ice of the most common diameter 110 mm. The eccentric displacement of the upper and lower handles relative to the axis of the screw contributes to the reduction of efforts and acceleration of the drilling process.
An additional factor - the work is done with two hands. Knives with the semicircular cutting edge are applied. This form allows you to handle dry and wet ice massif. Comfortable transportation is provided by a folding design and reduced weight.
Pros:
- Folding, lightweight, good lever to create effort.
- Complete hemispherical knives.
- Price, good drilling depth.
Minuses:
- The diameter of the hole is small.
Nero 130 - Left Rotation
Lightweight drill for work on different types of ice, including frosty dry or wet spring. The rooted work is promoted by the optimal displacement of the point of application of forces due to the eccentricity of both handles.
An additional factor is the use of knives with a spherical cutting edge. The internal diameter of the hole is increased, allowing you to confidently remove fish of medium and large sizes. A constructive solution was applied, which allows to fold both parts of the ice-cut evenly in half.
Pros:
- Spherical knives, optimal sizes when folded for transport.
- The cost goes into the ice like a knife in butter.
- Durable long-lasting knives, lightweight.
Minuses:
- Not a cover, but one name.
TONAR LR-100D - two-handed design
Ice-breaker of two-hand construction, which allows to increase the speed of ice penetration and reduce the effort during drilling. Possesses necessary rigidity, durability, has optimum weight.
The direction of rotation is counterclockwise, left. This contributes to the development of more torque, since the vast majority of anglers are right-handed. The diameter of the hole is designed for medium and small fish. Folding, takes up little space during transportation.
Pros:
- Inexpensive, no problem worked for three seasons.
- Easy, folding, two-handed.
- Replaceable knives, suitable from other domestic ice screws.
Minuses:
- Part of the products are manufactured in China, the quality is significantly hooked.
Barnaul two-handed 150mm * BS - enlarged hole diameter
Universal ice drill domestic development. The design incorporates solutions protected by three patents of the Russian Federation. Developments contributed to the reduction of drilling efforts, increased tool strength properties, increased reliability.
This model is equipped with a wide cutting edge, performing the hole with a diameter of 150 mm. Reliable fixation of the original knives contributes to the optimal distance between the attachment points.
Pros:
- Easy to use, powerful, reliable, simple.
- The optimal diameter of the hole.
- Durability, quality manufacturing.
Minuses:
- Negative properties of anglers do not note.
Tonar Tornado-M2 150 - deep drilling
Foldable two-handed model of ice screw, working on a screw circuit. Equipped with a telescopic extension, which allows to significantly increase the depth of the drilled hole. The last factor is important for regions with deep freezing of reservoirs and the formation of thick ice.
Forms a through hole with a diameter of 150 mm. Eccentric dilution of the upper and lower handles contributes to the reduction of effort. The coil pitch is increased in order to accelerate the removal of ice sludge, reducing the likelihood of jamming of the drill.
Pros:
- Reliability, durable, hardy.
- Extension rod, drilling depth up to 1.5 meters.
- The diameter of the hole, the accelerated yield of ice chips.
Minuses:
- Heavyweight, compared with the classic models.
Scandinavian Style 150 B02046 - a copy of the Scandinavian model
Practical, inexpensive copy of the MORA model. The product is manufactured in China. Cutting knives can be used from the original version. It has all the technical characteristics of a classic ice-drill: it drills holes in dry and wet ice with a diameter of 150 mm and a depth of one meter.
The tool is a two-hand construction, - it is possible to use both hands during drilling. This reduces the force on one hand and increases the drilling speed.
Pros:
- An exact copy of the Scandinavian model, but the price is lower. Sustained three seasons.
- Easy, folding, completely carries out the functions.
- It has the effect of self-drilling, no need to put additional pressure on the tool.
Minuses:
- No negative reviews.
Mora Ice Easy 125 mm / 5 - a popular Scandinavian
One of the most popular models of products manufactured under the brand Mora. A distinctive feature, - color in corporate blue color.
Telescopic handle with three control mounts. Applied high-quality frost-resistant plastic. Knives, made of hardened steel, are laser sharpened, providing a slight penetration into the ice.
Possesses the optimum weight which is not complicating movement of the fisherman on a reservoir. Differs in quality manufacturing. The product is protected by a water and weather resistant coating.
Pros:
- Quality, reliability, easy.
- Sharp knives, trouble-free entrance to the ice.
- Ice does not stick, easy to clean.
Minuses:
- Independent home sharpening of knives is impossible, it is necessary to contact the service center. There are not so many of the latter in Russia.
