3" Dutch Auger, Quick Connect

The AMS Dutch Auger allows you to easily collect disturbed soil samples in heavily rooted areas. Hand-forged from high-carbon steel and honed to a fine cutting edge, this auger will cut through highly fibrous and heavily rooted soils. It is excellent for use in, forests, vineyards, and orchards. The unique open design of the dutch auger also allows for easier removal of hard or wet soils.
The quick-connect button-and-hex coupling system allows components to connect and disconnect faster and with less hassle than threaded or signature series systems. When in use, the torque exerted on the system is placed on the hex – rather than threads – which makes the quick connect connection durable and prevents the components from binding together. Quick-connect connections also allow for reverse augering with either a rubber-coated cross handle or ratcheting cross handle. Most augers and some soil sampling kits are available with quick-connect connections, but the connections are not compatible with slide hammers or the hammer-head cross handle.
