OPE ICE AUGER

[smrob]

I HAVE A OLD OPE MAGNUAM 3 ICE AUGER. ANTONE KNOW ANTHING ABOUT THIS AUGER? CAN YOU STILL BUY PARTS AND BLADES FOR IT. I WAS TOLD STRIKEMASTER OWNS THEM NOW. WILL STRIKEMASTER BLADES WORK ON THE AUGER?

Yes, I have an old OPE auger, and I went to Strikemaster for the parts I needed. Mine is the Magnum III Plus. My gas tank leaked, the gas tank strap was missing, and the blade was so dull it wouldn't cut into open water.
No problem, got the parts needed, and now I have a working augar...

I have an OPE and a Strikemaster Magnum III plus. They are near identical. The differences are that Strikemaster molded the tank and attached it w/ screws. That is about the only difference that I can tell.
