Straight, true and repeatable holes of consistent depth are much harder to achieve than one might think! Most projects will require several-to-many such holes, and without the right tools and knowledge, it can be a frustrating experience!
Fortunately there are a number of different sized augers that can help you achieve your digging goals! Use the tools to get you the right hole, with minimal effort and maximal results. There are larger, tractor mounted augers, as well as smaller, hand-held ones that can be used with a 1/2″ and 3/8″ corded or cordless drills.
So, what kind of jobs can you use the hand-held auger for, you ask? The obvious choices include gardening, such as planting bulbs, seedlings, etc. There are so many uses for hand-held augers.
How about tackling a more ambitious project, like installing install PVC sprinkler lines under your sidewalks or patio stones? Want to get insecticide and termite treatments down deep to really kill off the threats? An auger on-hand will make these projects a lot easier to start and complete! Hydrating, aerating and fertilizing trees and shrubs, as well as weeding are all faster when using a hand-held auger as well.
