Iwan Auger

By Benjamen Johnson

Digging with a post hole digger isn’t the most fun way to spend your weekend — that’s why they invented power augers!  But if you aren’t up for renting or buying a power auger, try out Seymour Manufacturing’s Iwan auger.  Twisting the handle of this post-hole-digger alternative bores a 6″ hole in a variety of soils.

The auger measures about 45″ long including its 9″ blade section.  Seymour makes the blades from high-carbon steel and rivets them to a malleable iron yoke.  A steel shaft with a welded steel tee connects the yoke to the 21″ maple cross handle.

You’ll pay about $45 to $65 for the 6″ auger.
