What to do when you’re ready to order!

1. Size - Specify the diameter based on the size of hole you want to drill.  The actual hole will be .95 cm (3/8”) to 1.90cm (3/4”)

larger than the specified auger diameter.  Soil Augers come in nine standard sizes. Our most popular size is the 8.3cm (3-1/4”)

diameter auger. 
2. Material - Select a standard alloy auger (tungsten carbide surfaced, hardened high carbon bits/stainless cylinder and high

carbon steel bail) for most applications. Use an all stainless steel auger for sensitive sampling and where an acid bath

decontamination procedure will be used.
3. Type - There are six specific types of soil augers to suit almost any soil type. Choose from our most popular “regular soil”

auger or specific type augers including mud, sand, planner, flighted screw auger or fibrous core cutter. Select the type of auger

from this catalogue. Call our toll-free number and talk with our customer service advisors if you need help.
4. Connections - We offer two types of connections for its Auger Heads, Extensions and T-handles: conventional Threaded and

Quick Connect.

AMS Hand Augers

AMS makes augers for almost any soil condition!! Designed for rapid penetration with bits that dig as they enter the soil. Easy to

remove as the cut hole is larger than the cylinder, preventing drag. Emptying is facilitated with the extra long, open bail (see

 figure).   Augers feature 1.6mm (5/8”) NC threaded or optional “AMS quick-connect” couplings. Bits are flush welded to the

stainless steel cylinder topped by a carbon steel bail, forged from special high-carbon alloy. Cutting edges are tungsten carbide

hard - surfaced and heat-treated before sharpening. Stainless steel augers are available with stainless steel bails and bits.

AMS Auger heads are available in all stainless steel or carbon steel bits with stainless steel cylinders. Custom build your own

auger using compatible AMS components. Augers are available in traditional Threaded ends or Quick Connect ends - depending

on your needs. Handles and extensions are listed below, following the entire range of auger heads.
