Hand auger equipment is extremely suitable for soil research. As almost any type of soil sets its own demands where it concerns the model of the auger to be applied. In the course of the years many models have been developed.
This type of soil auger is by far the most used auger. The typical geodynamical design allows for a minimum of friction during penetration into and the extraction from the soil, which means less physical effort. There are 4 types: the clay-, sand-, coarse sand- as well as a combination type.
