My gas is the same vs Jiffys.

If you search Auger Wars on Youtube there are some good ones and they are using 24 inches of ice which is more realistic than 10 in your link. Strikemaster does cut very well their gas too. Just not a lot of presence around here compared to the others.
Actually a 10in auger cuts about 50% more ice than an 8in.
