Quick take
Ice chisel with multi-faceted head and foam grip for cutting holes through ice.
The Eskimo CH12 is a 64-inch ice chisel made of welded steel with a triple-action head for chipping through ice. It breaks into two halves that snap together, which makes it easy to carry out to the ice. A foam, anti-vibration grip and a wrist tether come with it, handy for anglers who need to open or clear a hole by hand.
