After having an old Jiffy legend 30 that never let me down I decided ";:;badidea "to get a new auger two weeks ago. I ended up buying the bigger Jiffy Pro 4 on sale at Scheels.
Well I've been out about 5 times now and to tell you the truth I'm pretty disappointed in the thing.
First off if you push down on it at all while its cutting it will stall out, not die out but it won't turn and cut.
It does this if you put very little effort into it. I bought the 9" model by the way with the fancy stx blades.
The second thing is that the gear box sounds like its got marbles in the damn thing when its cutting, like the gears are falling apart inside. Its not smooth sounding at all, darn rough really.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on your new augers and if there's a better option out there?
It does start easy I'll give it that. The clip on blade protector is a joke also. Its always falling off.
