Description
Hand augers are commonly used for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where samples may be obtained with a separate soil sampler or soil core sampler. For instance, mud augers utilize a laser-cut, open cylinder design for easy removal of heavy, wet, or clay soils. Sand augers use a closed bit design with a restricted opening to prevent the loss of sampled material during retrieval.Professional Series augers were first introduced in the late 1940s when our company built the first bucket auger for the United States Soil Conservation Service. Since then, we have expanded our manufacturing capabilities to include a diverse range of augers tailored to specific soil sampling conditions and requirements.
