JMC 3 inch Professional Clay Auger with Handgrip and Extension
Details
Description
This option contains three pieces: The JMC Auger Handgrip, The JMC 34 inch extension, and the JMC 3 inch Professional Clay Auger. All three pieces screw together to form a durable soil auger that can sample a wide variety of soils. With additional extensions, the JMC Professional Clay Auger can sample to 30 feet in most soils. Precisely angled cutting blades pull the auger into the soil approximately 1 inch with every revolution of the handgrip. These blades cut a hole slightly larger than the auger barrel for easy retraction of the auger and sample. Sample removes easily from the auger - just invert the auger and thump the handgrip on the ground.
