An impact drill works like a hammer that hits the side, improving torque (turns and hits). It applies a force perpendicular to the screw’s axis of rotation on various materials more efficiently, often with higher torque. The hammer drill is a power tool to drill hard and resistant surfaces, such as stone, porcelain, or concrete. A rotary bit allows them to dig into these materials without breaking the point or becoming unstable.

An earth auger is a powered tool designed to drill holes in the ground efficiently. It is equipped with a rotary bit that makes digging holes of different sizes and depths easy.

Augers are primarily used to dig holes in the ground, making them ideal for installing posts, fences, signs, trees, and columns, among other construction and landscaping applications.

There are two main types of augers: hand-held and motorized. Hand-held augers are manually operated, while motorized ones use a gasoline or electric motor to facilitate drilling.

The key elements of a power auger include the motor, grip handle, throttle trigger, bit or auger, and the gearbox that transmits power from the engine to the bit.

When using an auger, it is essential to follow these precautions:

●Wear personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and a hard hat.

●Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

●Keep hands and feet away from the operating bit.

●Avoid drilling near buried utility lines.

To keep an auger in good condition, you must:

●Regularly clean the bit to prevent dirt buildup.

●Check and adjust drive chain tension.

●Change the oil and spark plug according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

●Inspect and adjust belts and pulleys if necessary.

Two-stroke augers require oil and gasoline in the fuel tank, while four-strokes use gasoline without an oil mixture. Four-strokes tend to be more fuel-efficient and emit less smoke.

The drilling capacity of an auger varies by model and brand, but they can generally drill holes of various diameters and depths, from a few centimeters to several meters.

You can buy spare parts for your auger with our distributors. Be sure to provide your auger’s model and serial number to obtain the correct parts.

A brushcutter is a powered tool used to cut grass, brush, shrubs, and unwanted vegetation in areas of gardens, fields, and grounds.

The main difference is that a brushcutter is designed to cut taller, denser vegetation, while a lawn mower is used to cut grass evenly. Brushcutters are usually more powerful and can handle more challenging terrain.
