I’ve got a Strikemaster, and I really like it. But, like some others have said, it really depends on the ice you’re on. When cutting thru 3 feet of ice, you’re only going to get about 10 holes cut before the battery goes. In 18 inches of ice, I can cute about double that. I like if for using in a perm, so you don’t end up w/ all the gas fumes indoors.
