Connections
All components are available with three distinct types of connections for user preference. The components below are manufactured with the Threaded connection.
The THREADED connection offers a sturdy tight joint for medium to heavy-duty applications.
The THREADED Male & Female parts have coarse, rounded threads that easily screw together in a few turns, holding the parts together.
A complete Hand Auger assembly consists of:
- An Auger Head or "Buckets" advance the boring by cutting into the soil and holding the loose material for removal. Several bucket designed accommodate different soil types.
- One or more Extension Rods are lengths of plated or stainless steel rigid rods that connect the top of the Auger Head to the handle. Depth is achieved by adding rods, one at a time as the borehole is advanced.
- A Tee Handle, which is attached to the top of the uppermost Extension Rod, is used to rotate and apply downward pressure to the entire assembly for cutting into the soil.
