well i finally used my pro 4 lite a lot over the last 4 days and seems to me cant force- really didn't need to anyway just got to let it work im happy with it seemed to do good only had 12 to 18 inches of ice. Im used to my old 2 stroke you really had to put down pressure im sure i was dull any way the new one did great as long as you didn't force anything.

I tried 1 out and was pretty impressed with it until I drilled holes with the Honda Strikemaster. The Strikemaster is a little lighter and seems to drill a really nice clean hole. The 4 stroke augers aren't as fast as the old 2 strokes , but sure are quiet smooth. BTW I settled for the Honda because I have been a Strikemaster guy for 15 years and just couldn't make myself change.

I replaced the Strikemaster Strike Lite (1st gen with plastic auger) with the Jiffy Pro 4 lite this year.
I found: A. If I take the propane tank in my house to assume room temp before I fish, it starts very well. If not, it can be a bear. B. The recommended starting position, one hand hold the throttle 1/2 open while the other yanks on the cord is VERY awkward. (not to mention it starts the blade turning on this ice when you only have one hand on the handles. C. Lazer is just better than chipper, but not enough to be a deal breaker. D. Feels much heavier than plastic auger model, but the plastic auger froze up with ice easier. (reason I sold it) Basically the Jiffy pro "would" be the perfect auger if the could figure out a way to start it in neutral with your hands in a more comfortable position. With the Lazers I had before, one hand is on top of the motor for pull leverage, and it starts in so neutral, so you get ready to drill, then drill. |
