Getting a hole dug to the right dept, straight and true and repeatable (as we usually need more than one for any given project) can be frustrating and requires expertise, the right tools and experience!
Using an auger can help you dig the right hole for the job, consistently and with minimal effort!
Some augers are tractor mounted, generally used for post hole digging. These require an auger with a standard 2 in. shaft, usually for category 1, 2 or 3 tractors.
Hand-held augers can be used with hand-held power tools such as your 3/8″ or 1/2″ corded or cordless drill.
There are so many uses for hand-held augers. You can use it when you are gardening, for tasks such as planting bulbs, bedding plants and seedlings. Do you want to install PVC sprinkler lines under your sidewalks or patio stones? Or getting insecticide and termite treatments down deep? Using an auger makes these projects so much easier! Hydrating, aerating and fertilizing trees and shrubs, as well as weeding are all faster when using a hand-held auger as well.
