The Hand Auger is a multi-purpose tool for obtaining disturbed soil samples in construction, environmental science and agriculture. This soil sampling tool is used for shallow soil sampling up to 3-4 feet depth., measured from the surface. Has a rubber T-handle for comfortable grip and reduces fatigue. Available in manual and power driven models it’s for a wide range of applications so it’s perfect for professionals and DIYers.

User Instructions

1. Before using the hand auger, ensure you have the correct size and type of auger for your specific application. Different hand augers are designed for various soil conditions and depths, so choose accordingly.

2. Wear protective gear, including gloves and safety glasses, to prevent injury from flying debris or sharp edges. Safety should always be a priority when operating any tool.

3. Choose a stable and firm surface to operate the hand auger, avoiding loose or uneven terrain. This will help you maintain control and prevent accidents.

4. Hold the auger firmly with both hands, using the rubber T-handle for a comfortable grip and control. The ergonomic design reduces fatigue during prolonged use.

5. Begin drilling slowly and steadily, applying gentle to moderate pressure, depending on the soil type and depth. For harder soils, you may need to apply more pressure, but avoid forcing hand augers.

6. As you drill, maintain a consistent and steady motion, avoiding sudden jerks or twists that may cause hand augers to bind or break. Smooth, controlled movements are key to effective drilling.

7. When obtaining disturbed soil samples, use a gentle twisting motion to collect the sample, taking care not to compact or disturb the surrounding soil. This ensures the integrity of the samples for accurate analysis.

8. After use, clean hand augers thoroughly with soap and water to prevent rust and corrosion. Proper cleaning will extend the life of your tool and maintain its performance.

Soil Sampling with Soil Core Sampler

For fast and easy soil sampling the Hand Auger allows you to obtaining disturbed soil samples. Proper access to soil samples is crucial for accurate analysis and testing. The cupped blades help hold advancement so it’s perfect for boring into the soil surface. Can be used with other soil sampling tools like coring tubes, soil core sampler, and sampling tubes to get a complete picture of the soil. Can reach depths of 3-4 feet for soil compaction testing and other geotechnical applications.

Maintenance Tips

1. Regularly inspect hand augers for signs of wear and tear, such as rust, corrosion, or damaged blades. Early detection of issues with hand augers can prevent more significant problems down the line.

2. Store hand augers in a dry, secure location, protected from the elements and potential damage. A well-maintained storage area will keep your tool in good condition.

3. Apply a rust-inhibiting coating the blades of auger and shaft to prevent corrosion and extend the tool’s lifespan. This is especially important if you frequently work in wet or humid conditions.

4. Periodically sharpen augers and its blades to maintain optimal drilling performance and prevent binding. Sharp blades make the drilling process smoother and more efficient.

5. Check the rubber T-handle for signs of wear or damage, replacing it as needed to ensure a comfortable grip and control. A worn handle can affect your ability to use augers effectively.

6. When not in use, store hand augers with the blades retracted or covered to prevent accidental damage or injury. This also helps keep the blades sharp and ready for use.

7. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any specific maintenance or repair recommendations for hand augers. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure you get the best performance from your tool.

8. Regular maintenance of hand augers will help extend the lifespan of hand augers, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for obtaining disturbed soil samples and other applications. A well-maintained tool is a reliable tool, ready for any job.
