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.

Yep, watched some. And that 8 inch SM proves it as well. I would like to see 10 inch ion against 10 inch Strikemaster...if ion lost that bad on the 8 inch.... Its 10 inch demo looked rather pathetic compared to its 8.
And no 8 for me. I've been using 10 for years and would never go back to an 8.
