What is an "auger drill"?
An auger drill is a tool used to create deep, narrow holes in wood, soil, or other materials. It has a spiral-shaped bit that helps pull material out as it drills, making it efficient for tasks like digging post holes or drilling into thick wood. Auger drills come in both manual and power-operated versions, with the power models being used in construction and agriculture for heavy-duty drilling. The tool is especially useful for creating precise, deep holes where other drills might struggle.
Examples
The worker used an auger drill to make holes for the fence posts in the garden.
