I have had both, in 2 and 3 horse models and they both have their advantages. the strikemasters are a little lighter, and cut a little faster,but the blades get dull fairly quick with the amount of cutting i do. jiffys run forever, and just dont dull, and i have never had one fail in anyway for me. they are slightly heavier, however. Both brands are fine, as long as you drain the gas after every trip, check the spark plug occasionally, and are carefull with the blades. By the way, eskimo's are OK, but they have gearbox problems, and i personlly know of three that the engine has blown on. Their "shark" is supposedly the fastest auger on earth, and it is, but it is unreliable. The few seconds you save on cutting holes dont matter when the freakin' thing strips its main gear, or when the engine decideds to seize. i currently own a jiffy legend 3 horse, and it cuts very fast, and never ices up. |
