Strikemaster discontinued electric augers.

So what is going on with strikemaster discontinuing and clearance on all of the electric augers they have?

[leech~~]

I'm guessing since Strikemaster is owned by the Rapala Corporation now, if the profit margins aren't there.  Their gone!

Yep looks like it.

 

I emailed strikemaster and other leading companies asking about the cutting edge and secondary edge angles on auger blades so I could sharpen my own blades. The response was buy new blades they can't be sharpened. I'm sure they'd love me to spend $35-$50 on a new set....that is not gonna happen. I'll find a new blade and measure the angles myself to figure it out. I never got a response when I asked if the knifes they made of the same steel couldn't be sharpened.
