StrikeMaster Lithium 40v Lite Electric Auger
The new StrikeMaster Lithium 40v Lite Electric Auger punches above its weight. Weighing in at just 21 pounds when paired with an 8-inch-diameter Lite-Flite Lazer Drill unit, it can cut as many as 100 holes through 16 inches of ice on a single charge. It crushes the performance of standard cordless drills.
The 10-inch-diameter drill can consistently cut as many as 70 holes through 16 inches of ice on a single charge.
“Light to carry with heavy punching power – that’s a great one-two combo for drill-and-drop ice-trollers like me,” said Minnesota fishing guide Tony Roach, an ice-trolling innovator.
The Lithium 40v Lite’s electric, DC-brushless motor delivers consistent speed and torque without reduced power or slow-down from waning battery. Its forward/reverse controls allow for easy switching from cutting to flushing slush. A 15.9:1-ratio planetary gear system accounts for its lightweight durability, high power density and unmatched performance.

Lite-Flite Lazer Drill Units combine proprietary synthetic materials with legendary twin, serrated stainless-steel Lazer blades to achieve the ultimate lightweight, fast-cutting performance. Available in 10-inch- and 8-inch-diameter models, they ensure a smooth, clean cut in every hole. The new Lithium 40v Lite comes with a Lite-Flite Lazer Magnetic Snap Cover that enables hands-free attachment and detachment. It comprises strong connecting magnets and locking tabs.
The Lithium 40v Lite features ergonomically designed, impact-resistant handles with built-in LED lights and a power button with a “deadman” safety switch. Its 40-volt, 5-amp-hour Lithium Ion battery – also sold separately – comes with a fast-acting, 2-amp charging station capable of restoring a full charge in 2 1/2 hours. A built-in USB port enables on-the-ice charging of all your portable electronic devices, including cell phones, hand-held GPS units and tablets. A 4-LED charge indicator provides easy power-level check.
The Lithium 40v Lite’s motor, battery and charger comes with a limited 2-year manufacturer’s warranty.
