I own a strike-lite 2 and I bought it the year before Strikemaster put the honda power head on it. Mine has the German powerhead called Robyn. I Wouldn’t buy an auger if it didn’t have a steel auger on it. I bought it back in 2011 I believe and it is still drilling through ice. Don’t have to mix gas either with is a bonus and starts up within a couple pulls of the cord. I would buy another four stroke any day.
