Hard to see what your talking about?

This:

[Finnt]

It is the exact same as the lite flight strikemaster laser made from the same parent company mora

[winterbuddy]

It looks more like the lazer lite synthetics.

[winterbuddy]

Same # of flights anyway.  Doesn't use the nova blades though. 

[Finnt]

Same guy doing videos for the mora bee and lite flight strike master.lazer augers have mora blades on them

Where did you get  the $570 from?

[Iceassin]

Where did you get  the $570 from?

 One of the Swedish companies says it sells them for 5599 kr (Swedish Krona) and 1 kr = .10 U.S. dollar. I used an online conversion table and came up with $577. Maybe I did something wrong. Dunno 🤔

Yup...did something wrong. Looks like maybe $45? That's better. 😉

[lefty2053]

I think you were right the first time. 1 Us dollar = 9.70 kronas So 5599 divided by 9.70 =$577 Dollars.

Ok...well...too much for me.😉

Interesting - it looks like there is a hole between the blades to put a centering point.

Check this out!! You could buy one of each size, 6" + 8", and have money left over!!

The 6" (160mm) SM lazer lite synthetic hand drill has one as well.  I added a centering point to one of mine. It doesn't really need it IMO.

Looks like the Mora blades will work on it as well.

Mora? I thought Johnson Outdoors was the parent company of Strikemaster.

[Damn Yankee]

Mora? I thought Johnson Outdoors was the parent company of Strikemaster.

I believe Strikemaster buys all their augers from Mora (Finland).
Last years Mora catalog had the Bee and the Mora-Ultra-Lite as regular items.
The Ultra came with a offset handle. See one in the for-sale section.

Strikemaster and Mora are both owned by Rapala VMC.

Strikemaster and Mora are both owned by Rapala VMC.

Few years ago a friend bought a Mora auger that had Rapala VMC (made in China) blades. 👎 They’re available for 50 cents +  shipping.

[winterbuddy]

Before Strikemaster was sold off, the original company switched to Chinese blades. 

From my understanding, to make them feesible on their newly aquired product, VMC was forced to buy Mora shortly after.

hmmm ive had good luck with the rapala vmc blades,however the older mora blades with no markings other than made in china were total garbage.

Not available in the US that I can find, but you can get it shipped from Europe for about $150. If I could justify another auger, this would be top of my list.
