  • Publication number: 20110100652
    Abstract: An auger to assist in ground burrowing or mixing paint or concrete, is used by attaching it to an electric or cordless power source. The major advantages over previous augers are: a hex head design prevents slipping in the drill chuck, an offset boring tip provides better digging, and a removable extension allows for the digging holes from a sitting or standing position possible without straining. The cutting edge of the auger's discs is sharpened and provided with a serrated edge for easier digging in hard soil. A single spring pin lock connects a first shaft to the extension shaft and multiple holes in the extension shaft allow for a multitude of auger heights.
