Soil Augers

We have several different designs of augers for drilling and sampling soils and clays.

These include:

• SOS – Spiral tipped general purpose soil auger
• SOD – Aggressive cutters, hard soil auger
• SON – NOW DISCONTINUED – use the SOD for gravely soils
• SOC – NOW DISCONTINUED – use SA for sticky wet soils
• JA – Jarret style shallow sampling auger
• SPS and SPF – Open spiral type augers.

Standard sizes are 50mm (2″), 62mm (2½”), 75mm (3″) and 100mm (4″) and some others made-to-order.

Newer items are shown on our New Products page.

• SOS Series
  This is our most popular auger which is a general purpose design to handle most soil conditions, even very sandy soils.
• SOD Series
  This new soil auger was developed to achieve better penetration in hard dry soils and by doing so requires extra effort to turn it.
• SON Series
  NOW DISCONTINUED – use the SOD for gravely soils
• SOC Series
  NOW DISCONTINUED – use SA for sticky wet soils.
• JA Series
  For taking small samples but may be subject to sample mixing causing contamination.
• SP Series
  These are used to drill hard compacted soils or decomposed rock. They drill faster and are stronger than the soil augers but require greater care for accurate sampling.
