Here's a question that is related to managing your ice-free zone.

My little 12", Remington electric, $36.00, chainsaw just did not have what-it-takes to cut through eight inches of lake ice. It will cut through an 8" oak limb in about four minutes. I drilled a hole with the hand ice-auger, ran an extension cord, and even filed on the chain teeth to resharpen them up.....but.....it still wouldn't cut it....the ice....it was just too hard and the chainsaw barely made hardly a cut into that ice.

What will work? What type chain & saw does it take to cut it? Someone said a Sandvik hand saw will cut it?
