Find an Auger in Dallas, TX

If you are looking for an auger in the Dallas, TX area, AA Rentals should have just the type you need. To begin your search, the first thing to do is determine what type of auger for your project. There are several different types of augers, and even several different names of augers that refer to the same piece of equipment.

Types of Augers

One of the most popular types of augers that people need to use is an earth auger, also known as a post hole auger or a soil auger. An earth auger moves dirt by using a simply rotary drill and is used for drilling holes in relatively soft earth. The auger is either a pod type or a spiral or corkscrew type auger bit that is connected to a shaft by a socket joint. As the auger goes deeper and deeper into the earth sections are added to the shaft for greater depth. This type of auger can be either a manual auger or a power auger.

You can use an earth auger for several different types of jobs, from placing gypsum blocks to test soil irrigation to digging post holes for fences to planting trees. The size of the auger is dependant upon the job you are doing and the type of earth auger also depends upon your soil. A regular auger is quite sufficient for sandy soil or clay loams, but if your earth is mainly heavy clay you should choose a clay auger.

Simple power augers are also used for mixing cement, mixing paint, putting up temporary fencing, mixing fertilizer into soil and taking soil samples. For setting permanent fence posts, especially when you have a large number of holes to drill, you may want to consider a two-man auger, which can greatly relieve the amount of torque on a single operator.
