What is an "auger"?
An auger is a tool used for drilling holes into wood, soil, or other materials. It typically has a spiral-shaped blade that helps to pull material into the tool as it rotates, creating a hole. Augers come in different sizes, with some being handheld and others mounted on machines for larger projects. They are commonly used in construction, gardening, and woodworking for tasks like installing posts, planting trees, or boring holes in wood or soil. The spiral design allows for efficient material removal while drilling.
