An auger is a well-used drilling device, made up of a metal helical blade/auger flights that rotates as the auger is used. In the case of an earth auger, as the drill spins, it carries material up with it and displaces it away from the created hole.
These kinds of earth augers can be an hydraulic motor attached to Earth Drill or auger drive and driven with a larger piece of machinery such as an excavator, skid steer loader and tractors. Auger drilling is widely used for fixing earthing rods, light posts etc.
