I have a 2hp 8″ jiffy and a 2hp 8″ strikemaster. Both are from the same year, I think 06 or 07. Same motor. Both run similar but it seems like the strikemaster is geared at half the speed of the jiffy. Takes far longer to drill a bunch of holes. I bought the jiffy because it had metal handles and the on/off switch was mounted on the motor and not the handle. I acquired the strikemaster and haven’t really used it too much because it was so slow.
