Hand augers for sampling soil
Over the years many different auger heads have been developed to cope with different soil conditions. We can offer auger heads for coarse sands, sands, normal, stony and hard dry soils. Each type is available in many different diameters. Hand augers are available as one piece models of 125cm length or as two parts which can take extension rods to increase the sampling depth range.
Many accessories are available to facilitate augering and to cope with differing conditions. For your convenience we are able to offer auger sets; one is for drilling above the water table, and the other above and below the water table.

For those who hand auger extensively it is worthwhile to consider the recent development of the ERGONOMIC augers. The handle is designed so that the operator works with a good posture to minimise strains on shoulders, back, arms and wrists. |
