Thinking of purchasing a new auger. I have owned only a Strikemaster and had no problems. Liked the grips, thumb bar, that it came with an attached allen wrench. Just wondering if I'm missing out on a better, more reliable, better warranty auger. Could you guys please just yell back with what you like, what you've used, brand you know suck, best buy for money, etc. Thanks

I have used them all and love my Jiffy. I have the big 10" and wouldn't go small again, I can get any fish I catch thru that hole. Of course, I have seen some great working Strikemaster augers too and only used an Eskimo a little bit. But I know several people with Jiffys and they all love them and never go to anything else after having had one. I know these guys have tens of thousands of holes per auger and not heard of any issues. Well start em, and catch em when they fall through the ice. I think they are a little heavier than the Strikemasters but I liked the last Strikemaster auger I used and would have one without a problem too.
Just my experience. But one thing is for sure, use a power auger and you will not go back to hand augers.. EVER...
Good luck..
Yeah the FlyMaster is feeling the force now..
I like the Jiffy but the StrikeMasters are real easy to use too. They maybe slower but they are lighter too. I don't think you can go wrong with a name brand auger.
Let us know what you decide on.
