Jiffy Stealth

[hamms-scooter]

I have to give a quick report . I love the Jiffy stealth with 2 hp and 8 inch hole. It cuts fast and I am really happy with how the tecumseh just purrs, It does have some snort as well, I find slightly lifting it when drilling is the fastest. You can tell by listening to the rpm's to lift or just let the weight of the auger do the work, Never have to push down and if I ever have to it will be sharpened. Very satisfied with this product so far.

They have since this dropped Tecumseh on their new models......I have the 3 HP with a 9" and it is also great.......I love the sound of a Jiffy! (But do hate the weight of the 3 HP)

Yeah I know they dropped Tecumseh, Tecumseh is done... I bought a new Jiffy from an older guy that had drilled about 6-10 holes with it and had it sitting in the box for a few years. This model is the 2hp and is heavier then my strikemaster with 6" lazer but I obviously new that going into it. Worth every pound so far.

I think I have the same model, got it in the same manner too. A guy bought it, drilled 12 holes then let it sit in his garage for two years. Heavy sucker, but very reliable, and I don't think the blades ever go dull. On its fourth year with me and to say I drill a lot of holes is an understatement. I will say, I like ice-trolling with a friends Lazer Solo though.

I have the 79st, I also have a strikemaster lazer, I run a 6" auger on it for chasing panfish and it weighs nothing compared to the jiffy. I just like the blade system and all metal on the Jiffy. Mine starts in 3 pulls, Full choke it pops off after 1 or 2, then half choke and 1 more pull it is running, I like that the blades last forever as well and that you can sharpen them yourself. I am looking to sell my SM tough to let that auger go though.

I have the same auger I beleieve, 2hp stealth stx. Absolutely love it. It just chews through the ice, same blades for the past 4+ years. Im not bashing the other guys but I have fished with a few guys that have had me bring my auger on trips cause it cuts better.

[hamms-scooter]

Chews through it is right! I just always let it warm up, runs with more power / smoother. !

Warm up is a must! Mine would start first pull if I would remember to turn the switch on....
