Auger Blade screws

[walleyeking]

I have a Strikemaster Lazer Mag.. I noticed last night that I lost 2 of the screws\bolts that connect the blade to the auger. Anyone know what size these screws are, so I can pick them up at the hardware store. You can order replacements on Strikmasters HSOforum, but if I want to fish this weekend, I won't have them in time.

Thanks

call strikemaster and ask or like I did I just brought the blade in to the store and checked.....the one I got last year stuck out past the bottom of the blade a hair but worked fine

This brings up a good reminder. I have been using my hand auger, and it's getting close to the point that I will be switching over to the power auger.

Before I get it out, I may look at putting some Loctite/thread lock on the blade screws and main bold attaching the bit to the power head. One tip D-Rock advised was to wrap the collar of the top of your auger bit so it covers the bolt holes - this is a precaution so you don't lose your bit down the hole if the bolt shakes lose ... man would that suck.
