Company history
StrikeMaster has been a trusted name in ice fishing for over 40 years. They focus on making augers that actually work when you need them—no matter how cold it gets or how thick the ice is.
What started as a small operation has grown into one of the most recognized brands on the ice. Anglers keep coming back to StrikeMaster because their augers are straightforward, reliable, and built to handle real fishing conditions. Whether you’re drilling a few holes on a local lake or setting up for a long day in harsh weather, their gear holds up.
The brand offers something for everyone. If you want the speed and power of a gas auger, they’ve got models that fire up in the cold and cut through thick ice fast. Prefer to go electric? Their battery-powered augers are quieter, lighter, and surprisingly powerful. And for those who like to keep things simple or fish in remote spots, their hand augers are light enough to carry but still cut clean, smooth holes.
StrikeMaster’s Lazer blade technology is a big reason their augers perform so well. These blades stay sharp longer and slice through ice with less effort, which means you’re not fighting your equipment when you should be fishing.
At the end of the day, StrikeMaster gets what ice anglers need: tools that work without a lot of fuss, season after season.
Strikemaster Ice Auger Manuals
FAQ
Strikemaster auger blade sizes are typically determined by the auger model rather than serial number alone. However, the serial number can help identify your specific model:
Common blade sizes:
- 6-inch augers: Use 6″ replacement blades
- 8-inch augers: Use 8″ replacement blades
- 10-inch augers: Use 10″ replacement blades
To confirm your exact blade size, measure the diameter of your existing blades or check the auger head itself—the size is often stamped on the housing. You can also contact Strikemaster with your serial number (format example: 14-E5001) and they can identify the correct replacement blade part number for your specific model.
You have several options for blade sharpening:
Professional sharpening:
- Local ice fishing shops or tackle stores (many offer sharpening services)
- Small engine repair shops
- Specialized blade sharpening services (mail-in options available)
DIY sharpening:
- Use a blade sharpening kit specifically designed for ice auger blades
- Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper angle and technique
- Never over-sharpen—remove minimal material
Important: Strikemaster blades have a specific angle and edge design. Improper sharpening can reduce performance. Many anglers prefer replacing blades when they become dull rather than sharpening, as replacement blades are relatively affordable and ensure optimal cutting performance.
If your electric auger hasn’t been used since spring 2023 and won’t run despite battery maintenance:
Troubleshooting steps:
- Check battery voltage: Even maintained batteries can lose charge—verify with a voltmeter (should read 24V+)
- Test battery under load: Connect to auger and check if voltage drops significantly
- Inspect connections: Clean battery terminals and auger connections; corrosion prevents operation
- Check safety switch: Ensure the safety trigger and power button engage properly
- Listen for motor sounds: If motor hums but doesn’t spin, gearbox may be seized
Long-term storage issues:
- Batteries can develop dead cells even with maintenance
- Gearbox grease can harden, preventing rotation
- Internal motor brushes may need service
If basic troubleshooting doesn’t work, the auger may need professional service or battery replacement.
Set screw sizes vary by Strikemaster model:
Common sizes:
- Most gas-powered models: 1/4″ or 5/16″ set screws
- Electric models: Typically M6 or M8 metric set screws
- Older models: May use 10-24 or 1/4-20 threads
Important specifications:
- Use hardened steel set screws (Grade 8 or higher)
- Socket head cap screws work best for secure tightening
- Apply threadlocker (blue Loctite) to prevent loosening
Check your owner’s manual for exact specifications, or measure the existing set screw hole with a thread gauge. Using the wrong size or grade can result in stripped threads or auger shaft slippage during operation.
When the engine runs but the auger doesn’t turn, the problem is typically in the drivetrain:
Common causes:
- Sheared drive pin/key: The safety mechanism designed to break under excessive load
- Gearbox failure: Stripped gears, broken teeth, or internal damage
- Clutch issues: Worn or damaged centrifugal clutch (on clutch-equipped models)
- Drive shaft damage: Broken teeth or coupling failure
The grinding noise you heard indicates:
- Damaged gears inside the gearbox (slanted teeth suggest wear or impact damage)
- Broken drive shaft tooth confirms drivetrain failure
- Metal dust in grease confirms internal wear
Resolution: This requires parts replacement—typically the drive shaft and potentially gearbox gears. This is not a field repair; contact Strikemaster for parts or professional service.
A stuck recoil pulley is often repairable:
Common causes:
- Dried/hardened recoil spring
- Corroded pulley mechanism
- Broken recoil spring
- Frozen pawls or ratchet mechanism
Repair options:
- Disassemble recoil assembly and clean/lubricate
- Replace recoil spring if broken or permanently set
- Service or replace entire recoil starter assembly
Parts availability: Older Magnum III models may have limited parts availability. Check with Strikemaster or aftermarket suppliers for recoil assemblies. If parts aren’t available, consider converting to electric start (if your model supports it) or replacing the engine with a compatible modern alternative.
Many small engine shops can rebuild recoil starters, often for less than buying new parts.
International parts ordering depends on Strikemaster’s shipping policies and your location:
Options for international customers:
- Contact Strikemaster directly: Ask about international shipping for specific parts (like gas tanks)
- Authorized international dealers: Check if there are European distributors
- Third-party shipping services: Use freight forwarding services that provide US addresses
- Local alternatives: Some parts (tanks, carburetors, hardware) may have compatible alternatives available locally
Important considerations:
- Shipping costs for bulky items like fuel tanks can be expensive
- Customs duties and import taxes may apply
- Shipping restrictions on items containing fuel residue
For European customers, finding a local Strikemaster dealer or compatible aftermarket parts may be more cost-effective than international shipping.
