Auger extentions

[mr marbles]

Just wondering how much an auger ext would cost me for a strike master. thanx!

Depends on where you go. I have seen them range in price from $15 to $30, try the strikemaster HSOforum to see what retail is then go from there. I think the cheapest i have seen is Fleet-Farm. Get one now if you are cosidering it because last Feb-March my buddy tried to get one for LOW but EVERYONE was sold out.

If you can't find them in stores go to your local machine or welding shop. They are simple to make and most shops willing to make one charge only $20. Good luck

I've had an extension for a few years now. It's still in the bag and has never been used. Last March up in Canada on LOW, we encountered 42" of ice. With my Strikemaster, I was still able to get through without the extension but the gearbox was in the hole (luckily, the way the handles are attached you can still get into the hole with the lower end of the power head). Even without an extension, I think if you bottomed out, you might be able to finish the job with a good sharp ice chisel in most cases. There's been alot of snow cover this year so maybe it won't get too thick..........T

Got mine at L & M in Virginia for about $20 I think. I bought the 20 inch one.

I have a half dozen in the bag. If buying a extension, buy the shortest one available for that brand of auger. It is not necessary to buy anything longer than 8 inches, otherwise purchase a step ladder or stand on the end of a tailgate...20 inches?

I forgot to add that I purchased the extensions from strikemaster last year at 15.99 each.
