So my situation is this.I own a Strike master 8 inch chipper and love it but bought a wheel house this year so I wanted a electric and got a great deal on a Electra laser 6″.Can I use my chipper auger on the electric to reopen holes or even drill a full hole? Thanks for any input
You can try, but it’s usually easier to down size drill size rather than up size.
Look at their web site and see what drills they list with the Electra, if they offer 8″ drills with it as an option or version it should work with no problem.
I guess by big question is whether the chipper blade will work on a electric since it runs at a slower speed
My Big Volt came with a 10″ chipper, works great.
The big volt has more power than a Electra I think? It would be awesome if I could use the 8 inch chipper under my electra

Harvey – The Electra does come with an 8″ lazer auger option, so the size won’t be an issue, but chipper vs. lazer might be. I’d contact customer service with your question to be sure – [email protected], but there’s nothing like giving it a whirl once we have ice.
While you’re at it, also ask about these. They’re a great option for speedier drilling with a chipper that chews up ice a bit better. They’re called Dual Stage Chipper Blades, have carbide tips for longevity and durability, and do a good job at redrilling old holes also –
Good luck!
