Dutch Auger

23-1386

• Extra long, open bail for emptying.• 5/8” (15.8 mm) threaded extension couplings.• Cutting edges are heat treated before sharpening.• Includes 36” (914 mm) extension and chrome cross handle.The Dutch Auger is hand-forged from high-carbon spring steel and honed to a fine cutting edge. Its design makes it an excellent tool in heavily rooted, fibrous or swampy areas.

Mud Auger

23-1382

• Extra long, open bail for emptying.• 5/8” (15.8 mm) threaded extension couplings.• Cutting edges are tungsten carbide hard-surfaced;heat treated before sharpening.• Includes 36” (914 mm) extension and chrome cross handle.The Mud Auger features an open cylinder design facilitating easy removal of heavy, wet soil or clay samples. Bits are similar to the Regular Auger bits but are spaced farther apart.

Oakfield Soil Sampling Kit

23-1410

The Oakfield Soil Sampling Kit was developed for rapid sampling in all types of soils. The kit contains a sampling tube for soft loamy soils and an auger for sampling dense, hard or frozen soils.  Although developed for sampling of soils for agricultural purposes, the kit is a valuable tool in preliminary soils investigations of all types.

Regular Auger

23-1380

• Extra long, open bail for emptying.• 5/8” (15.8 mm) threaded extension couplings.• Cutting edges are tungsten carbide hard-surfaced;heat treated before sharpening.• Includes 36” (914 mm) extension and chrome cross handle.The Regular Auger is used for ordinary soil sampling and for accessing the sampling point when undisturbed samples will be taken with a core sampler. Specially designed bits guarantee easy penetration.

Sand Auger

23-1384

• Extra long, open bail for emptying.• 15.8 mm) threaded extension couplings.• Cutting edges are tungsten carbide hard-surfaced; heat treated before sharpening.• Includes 36” (914 mm) extension and chrome cross handle.The Sand Auger was designed for use in extremely dry, sandy soils. Its bits are specially formed to retain sand samples.
