What is this gadget. What is the biggest size should you use. Does your state have a size limit. Why shouldn’t you make a very big hole. How thick should hard ice be before it is safe to walk out on and fish. Unscramble this and make a hole with it. GURAE.
Well, it depends on who much you weigh, plus equipment. Just remember if you’re walking on thin-ice, you’re walking alone!
I live in Minnesota and ice fishing is the thing here. You need 2" to 4" to walk on check every 50 feet 4 " to 6" for a snowmobile or atv 8" for my one ton truck and ice house and it is never safe. Lost my best friend and fishing hunting partner when he went through the ice on iron lake near ely Minnesota. I have fallen through before walking back to my house it was not deep and I was close but it was -20 below zero my pants were frozen before I got in the ice house. I always wear a life jacket and ice picks to pull yourself out of the water. Then roll to safe ice . I have rescued a dog that was chasing geese on my lake myself and my cousin pushed my job boat out to rescue him. BE CAREFUL

Mine is plastic with a float on it. It won’t sink. Even with the drill on it.
Good idea, did it come with the float, or did you put it on?

It comes with a float already attached.
