Ice Augers

[MJBaldwin]

Alight guys I know I have asked a few different questions on here about Ice Augers but everyone I go to look at sell before I get there. I have two more that I have an apt to go look at. I just need some information about which will be a better fit. I fould a 2 year old Strikemaster Laser Mag Express (9") and also a 2 year old Jiffy STX Pro (9") I am just wondering which would be better I am working on trying to get my first set up but trying to buy used is a little hard....

I really appreciate all the help and information you guys provide

Both are great augers. The Jiffy is a tank that will run forever but weighs a lot. If you plan on drilling many holes I would go with the Strikemaster, also a reliable auger.

Love my lazer mag. Much lighter than the jiffy's. I used my uncles jiffy for a few years and it was a beast and had a hard time stayin running until it was warmed up. My choice would be the Strike master for those reasons above. Both will drill holes and get you fishing so that is what really matters most. Good luck. Hope this helps.

As said above. The Strikemasters are a lot lighter. I ran a Jiffy for 2 seasons that I got from my grandpa. I sold it last year and up graded to the new Solo lazer mag with a 7inch bit. I do a lot of drilling and hole hopping so it fits my needs. So if your gonna drill more holes go SM it will last just as long as the Jiffy's will.

The Lazer Mag will be faster at drilling holes than the Jiffy...as long as the Lazer blades are sharp. When they get dull, then the Jiffy is faster.

Both are good augers, and either one will serve you well.

I sold my old jiffy for a new Strikemaster Laser Mag, what a difference. Strikemasters weigh less, cut faster and run quieter.

Cheers!!
