Rare and currently impossible to buy in the US. Not new, but close to it. Used it several times only and always stored indoors.
Includes drill adapter.
Russian-made Storm 180 / Motoshtorm 180 ice auger – the Mosin-Nagant of hole drilling. If you’re the kind of person who thinks “mild hypothermia” just means “good fishing weather,” this is your tool.
Built from Russian steel with attitude – not the delicate, boutique stuff; this is “drag across gravel, toss in sled, still drills straight” grade metal.
180 mm (about 7") holes, perfect for pulling up pike, walleye, and whatever prehistoric thing lives in that sketchy mid-lake hump you keep side-eyeing.
Handles real cold – the “beard is frozen, truck might not start, but we’re still going out” kind of days. The auger will quit roughly never.
Hook it to a drill or driver or run it by hand when you feel like earning that gas-station burrito.
Powder coat and hardware are built for abuse: bouncing around in a sled, banging against other gear, thrown into the garage corner till next season – it just shrugs and keeps cutting.
Think of it as a Mosin for the ice:
Not fancy, not delicate, not trying to impress anyone on Instagram.
It’s a simple, overbuilt, absolutely stubborn tool that just works – year after year, trip after trip, no matter how badly you treat it.
While other augers are complaining about “alignment” and “finish,” this one is out there, chewing through ice like it owes it money.
If you want something cute and lightweight for fair‑weather tip‑toeing onto 3" of city-pond ice, keep scrolling. If you want a Storm 180/Motoshtorm that’s closer to a Mosin than a modern gadget – a brute that eats ice, ignores abuse, and will probably outlive your knees – send me a message.
