StrikeMaster Question, New "3-Blade" vs "2-Blade"

[S.D. Ice Angular]

I’m looking to upgrade augers and plan on staying with StrikeMaster.

My question is what are your thoughts between the ”LAZER MAG XPRESS” or the ”LAZER MAG ULTRA” ?? What are the good or bad points on the new “Triple Blade” or the “Double Blade” system??

Your input would be helpful

I upgraded to the lazer last year from my 15 year old mag III. I love the lazer. The thing is extremely fast, and is $100 less than the 3 & 4 blade augers. In my opinion, the extra bladed augers just aren't wouth the extra coin.

Granted, I have not used the others.

I have the Ultra Mag 3 blade and love it, you can not go wrong with 2,3 or 4 blades, they all use the same motor and my gusse is that they all cut close to the same.

I own the Lazer Mag Express..I think so anyways...its the Strike Master with two blades..I get them mixed up sometimes. Anyways, I love my auger...its not very heavy, starts on the first pull and cuts through ice like a hot knife through butter.

I have seen the three bladed model and they look very nice. I would suppose they cut a little bit faster than the two bladed model...but I dont think there is much of a differance. I went with the two bladed model because of the price. Just my two cents worth.
