AMS Standard Series Soil Sampling Augers

AMS Standard Soil Samplingl Augers
Auger down to a depth of five feet in just two minutes – even in the hardest soils! Select from traditional thread-on style or quick-connect design that lets you quickly connect and disconnect components. Thread-on features 5/8" NC threaded pin coupling. Quick-Connect eliminates the problems of stripped or worn threads and the need for wrenches. With the Quick-Connect Adapter, you can convert thread-on augers to this new design. Two types of cutting edges to choose from – for regular sampling applications use the Carbon Steel Bit; for applications where minimum contamination of your sample is important, use the augers with Stainless Steel Bit. On all augers, cylinders are stainless steel, 6-1/2" long. Overall auger length is approximately 12". Cutting edges are stelite hard surfaced, heat treated, and sharpened to a fine cutting edge. Use the Regular Auger for sandy or clay loams. For heavy, wet clays use the Mud Auger. In dry, loose sand use the Sand Auger. The Dutch Auger is for boggy, rooty soils. Use the Open-Face Clay Auger in combination soils, from mud/clay to hardpan.
Order auger buckets, cross handles, and extensions separately.
