    Ok, now that it is sold.....I gotta call bullshit. Maybe most reliable "mainstream" auger ever built. But not Husqvarna or Tanaka quality. lol

    Husqvarna doesn't have the hours and years behind it that the AV520 does, in 30 years when my husky is still cutting ice we would have a legit argument...

    I love my husky, it cuts smooth, it always starts, most of all I think I'm 22lbs with an extension (maybe less), but there is lots of plastic part (not cowling) that I'm surprised at the durability of... my "safety" on the throttle has been taped up since day one of this auger, terrible design IMO... catalytic muffler on a ice auger??? So while right now there is nothing available other than Stihl or Echo that rivals it, there was room for improvement IMO...

    Wanna talk quality, go check out a echo gas auger!!!

    I got it for a wedding present 40 years ago. Never ever let me down. Just changed the plug once in a while and set the carb on occasion. BTW I always burned premium gas and Opti 2 in it. Amen.
