I've done it before, but with a power auger, wasn't a problem. The only issue is that the regs state a hole cannot be more than 10" in diameter.

 

And that is a Colorado regulation correct?

 

i wonder what the ticket is if you make too big of holes? what if i was trying to recover my phone i dropped down the hole.

 

This is a major safety infraction issue so the penalty is a minimum $65.00 fine and points plus they can confiscate all your equipment!

 

Is your phone bigger than a ten inch hole?

 

What kind of phone was it? Go to the auto part store and get a retrieving magnet, the most powerful one they have, fix it to the end of your line and try to pull it up with that! I just checked my flip phone and the hinge part was able to be lifted with the magnet.

 

I think it was hypothetical...he didnt really drop his work desk phone down a ice hole...

 

I hope so...only an icehole would do that!!! ::madgrin:

 

I saw a great magnet with a nice handle that would work perfect for this. It was at harbor freight and it was a ***** to try to get off the metal shelf. It will pull a phone up no problem!

 

Keep that away from the metal plate in Colonative's forehead!...

Jeff how big was thw thing and how much did it cost?

 

weighs 5lbs, will pull the piercings from Goon's body!!! :biggrin1::thumb:
