Srikemaster 24v question

Is the auger actually a strikeflite? I have a 6″ strikeflite and would like to use the 8″ from the 24 v on my drill. Can it handle the increased speed? Tx

Not sure what you mean but your drill should be on the lower speed setting and speed is determined by far you pull that trigger.?.?

Even on low speed, the drill spins the auger way faster than the 24v version does. So,…I was wondering if the design of the screws are different. I would guess they are not different unless the speed affects performance.

Isn’t it a variable speed drill? Just on and off? Is it a real inexpensive drill?

It will work fine.

Once you put a load on both they spin at similar speeds. The drill is faster “running dry”, but in the ice will be similar to the 24v

As always, make sure you’re in first gear with the drill and have the hammer setting off.

I’ve used them both. Drill is significantly faster than 24v even in the slower gear. I don’t think there is any reason to not go full speed with any except to not spray chips when starting. Strikemaster 24V is quicker than an Ion however. Gas comparable to the drill.

I should be fishing later this week with a friend with 8″ strike flite and another with a 24V. I should be able to visually compare the augers. I’ll let everyone know.

So you go full speed even when it’s too fast? I must not be understanding. Good luck.

Sorry,…I want to know if the 24v auger can be spun fast like a strike flite and still be efficient on the battery. Or if its designed to go slow,…less speed more bite vs less bite and more speed.

I’m so confused….

You want to spin the 24v powerhead faster?

What do you mean by strike flite? You mean Lite Flite?

Are you wondering if an 8″ Lite Flite bit will work on a drill?

Pretty sure he said auger, not powerhead.

Well that’s what I’m not understanding.

He says 24volt auger (like the combination)

The 24volt comes with a 6″ or 8″ bit.

It sounds like he’s already using a 6″ Lite Flite on a drill. Is he wondering if a drill can spin an 8″ Lite Flite?

Of course you could, but I’d worry a lot more about the drill than the auger. An 8″ takes some torque to turn. I run a 7″ lazer hand auger in my drill for that reason. It’s a nice compromise between the 6″ and 8″. Super compact too. Easily fits in a one man shelter with all the other gear.

The simpler question,…are the augers on a 24v strike master the same as the same sized lite flite? I got a chance to look at the two versions yesterday,…looks like they are. No safety plate and the hookup a bit different. Sorry to have confused everyone. I was thinking of buying a strikemaster for the fish house since it goes slow but have the chance to use it early ice for walleyes where a 6 inch hole is a bit small. yeah, you can feather the trigger but its easy to hit it and throw ice all over.
