I got a new strikelite 2 auger this year to replace my older strikemaster lazer mag express. Runs great, but it gets snagged just as the blades are cutting through the last bit of ice. With my old auger this was never an issue, and it uses the same blades as far as I know. I've tried running it full blast all the way through the cut and back up the hole, and it seems to cut down on the occurence. However, it still catches once every 3 or 4 holes. Last weekend it caught so abruptly that the engine actually shut off (and it was running wide open). I have to brace myself to keep the unit from spinning right out of my hands when I get to that last bit of ice.

We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

Hey all,
I got a new strikelite 2 auger this year to replace my older strikemaster lazer mag express. Runs great, but it gets snagged just as the blades are cutting through the last bit of ice. With my old auger this was never an issue, and it uses the same blades as far as I know. I've tried running it full blast all the way through the cut and back up the hole, and it seems to cut down on the occurence. However, it still catches once every 3 or 4 holes. Last weekend it caught so abruptly that the engine actually shut off (and it was running wide open). I have to brace myself to keep the unit from spinning right out of my hands when I get to that last bit of ice.
Any ideas?
