Flying “SOLO”

In the Heart of our guide season I just wanted to give a to Strikemaster for coming through for our guide service. As any “Icehead” realizes you are very dependant on your equipment. As a fishing guide take that times 10. I am running both a 3hp 154 Solo, and the 2.5 Hp Solo. I have also invested in the Electric Strikemaster for quick hitting adventures or Permanent shack drill outs with out the Smoke out effect for customers. The Strikemaster line up dominates the marketplace, and as I’ve noticed lately the Customer service ROCKS the industry. Thank you Strikemaster!!

Have any other guys here used the Electric Auger?? This is a new concept for this guy?? I’m also curious in how you’ve selected your auger as they have so many to choose from. I first purchased the 3hp as is simply seemed to be the “Baddest” auger on the market, but since then also have put the 2.5 into play. Again I’m not suggesting everyone has 3 augers Heck I actually have 4 as I have an older Lazer Mag too. OK. C-bear is going to send me in for an “Auger Addiction”

What are you guys using??

I have a Strikemaster 8″electric auger. I purchased it a couple years for drilling holes out in my wheelhouse. I also have a 3hp 10″ gas auger that I seldom take out anymore. I can drill around a dozen holes on a charge with the electric but with all the charge/power options that comes with it I have no problem drilling holes all day. No messing with gas/oil or fumes. Another great product from Strikemaster!!!!

2.5 8″ SOLO, 2-5″ Lazer hand cranks.

I got a 2.5 hp solo. I love it! Best auger out there I drill holes around my buddy who has a new Eskimo

I’m still running the old Tecumseh lazer mag express. If it aint broke, don’t fix it. 7 years and it still cuts ice like butter.

8″ 2.5 hp SOLO and a 6″ Lazer hand auger.

I have an older lazer mag 8″….new blades and it cuts like a champ. Dad has a 10″ and 8″ solo….gotta love strikemaster augers

I’ve owned Strikemasters since I was a teenager. That said, I’ve only owned three of them, as they’ve never quit, broke, or gave way to the hard use I’ve put them through. I typically own one 5-7 years and trade up for the latest/greatest.

My brother still owns and operates the Mag2000 we ran as kids, I can’t say enough about how badly we treated that auger and how well it still performs. From there I purchased a Lazer mag, which I owned for 5 years and sold to a buddy who still runs it with flawless success. Since last year, I’ve owned a Solo 3hp. That thing burns ice like crazy, and I’ve actually had to be careful about drilling holes with it. I’ve cut two pairs of boots and one pair of bibs due to the sharpness and speed of those blades. That said, I wouldn’t be running anything else. The augers are faster than anything on the market that’s anywhere near as light, and they’re dependable as the day is long. The only repairs ever made to my drills were due to my abuse of the unit, and even then that’s only two recoils, a muffler guard, and a few gas lines over 15+ years of running them.

Been 11 years on a old lazor mag for me. Why? Because they work. Have had a couple sets of new blades on it. New spark plug once. Looks like its getting a new gas tank this winter. The old one has been cracked for about 4 winters now and its not getting any better. This winter I noticed its cracked in 3 places.

Sure would like to up grade to a new solo model with 7″ blade but times are tough. Maybe next winter.
