Rizzo Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I would like to buy some replacement blades but these things are a huge pain to find (maybe because they sucked and Eskimo changed their design). Anyways, Cdn T and LeB's both carry replacement blades for Eskimo but not the style I need. I went straight to the Eskimo website where they had them, but won't ship to Canada, I originally bought the auger at LeB's but like I said they no longer carry these blades. Found them on ebay, but seller won't ship to Canada either. Anyone ever buy "BB 8" replacement blades for a barracuda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richyb Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I have an eskimo barracuda but it doesnt have those blades. ( approx 5 years old) Is that a newer or older style ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Rizzo Try Fish 307's auger blade exchange. Fish 307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 get new and try and sharpen those old ones as backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 get new that's what I'm trying to do. richyb I think these blades are 8 years old. Never did a good job right from the get go, but now they are terrible. I watch guys with hand augers drill faster drifter - I checked out 307 and that may be the best option!

Stef Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 If you look at the blades on most augers you'll find they are produced or similar to the Normark/Mora blades you can get at Canadian Tire. I somewhat doubt that each company make their own and would outsource to the swedish manufacturer. Take your blades in and compare them to the packaged ones in the store and I think you will find the bolt holes and angles line up. The pictured ones look like the manual auger blades, power curve blades have the slots in them and the flat blades are a different shape altogether. My Strikemaster and my "Eskimo" both use these blades and also the spiral shafts by the same manufacturer. Jiffy augers run in the reverse direction to these due to the gearbox and I have no experience with them but may also be similar. Worth a look see..............

Harrison Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Rizzo, I did a search for you. No luck. Maybe they will ship to a dealer, I can inquire for you if you like. Let me know and you can bring me a coffee and pick them up. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 thanks Harrison, if I can't find a place I may get in touch. Years ago I bought the wrong replacement blades for it, I may send those to the 307 place but ask them to send me the correct design instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
