What is an electric worm?
Electric snail is a tool used for digging holes, often for columns of fence or other large posts, as well as for digging holes in ice for ice fishing. Unlike motorized snails, the electric snail pulls out the electricity either from the electric socket in the home, from the automobile battery or from the generator. They are much quieter than motorized snails and are more reliable at low temperatures, but the electrical requirements for starting the electric worm for any longer time are quite significant. They are not as strong as motorized snails, which means that the electric model will take longer.
Augers use a long spiral -shaped drill bit, which is usually several inches wide for drilling holes. The bit spins when the snail is connected, digs deeper into the ground and at the same time pulls the ground up above the surface of the hole. They are able to drill holes through different materials, but are most often used for drilling in dirt or ice for fishing on ice. ElectricThe snail is a good choice for smaller tasks, such as digging the hole on the fence, because the power is significantly smaller than the motorized worm.
Ice fishermen may decide to use an electric snail if the energy source is available. The electric snail is much quieter than the motorized version, which means that the fish will not be frightened by the sound of the drilled hole. The snail does not fire even the exhaust, which means that the snail can be used inside limited spaces such as fishing cottages on the ice. Although it may take a long time to drill a new hole or several ice holes using an electric snail, the electric version is useful for re -opening old holes that could have frozen. They are also commonly used if only two to five holes need to be drilled, unlike 10 or 20.
One of the main disadvantages of the electric snail is its dependence of hi electricity. The motorized version runs on the gas, which meansthat they can be easily transported to different places without the need for energy source. Electric snails will always need some external energy source. Smaller snails can escape from the car battery, but permanent use releases the car battery and causes a helpless car. The generator can be used to start the snail, but the transport of the generator around can be cumbersome and restrictive.
