Auger Hand Drill — Carbon steel construction, high-temperature quenched for high hardness, impact resistance, wear resistance, and long service life. Key benefits - Fast, reliable hole making in green or cork wood: the self-tapping guide spiral bit bores quickly and clears chips for efficient drilling. - Durable under field conditions: hardened carbon steel resists wear and impact so the tool remains usable after repeated outdoor use. - Easy to carry and deploy: protective covers and attachment hooks keep the auger safe in transit and let you secure it to a belt or backpack. Features - Scotch-eye design: includes a scotch-eye that accepts a wooden stick for leverage and turning, enabling one-person operation without power tools. - Self-tapping guide spiral bit: starts and tracks in green wood for clean 1-inch diameter holes (use as specified). - Cutting point for peg use: the scotch-eyed auger includes a cutting point that accepts a peg wrench or can be hammered into a branch to form a peg the same diameter as the auger bit. - Protective covers and hooks: covers protect the bit when stored; hooks allow quick attachment to gear for portability. How it works (simple steps) 1. Insert a sturdy wooden stick through the scotch eye to gain leverage. 2. Use the stick to turn the auger and drill a 1-inch diameter hole in green or cork wood. 3. To create a peg, use a peg wrench on the cutting point or hammer the bit into a branch and remove it, leaving a peg matching the auger diameter. Practical uses / scenarios - Emergency shelter building: bore clean, fast holes for lashing poles and securing frame members when you need shelter quickly. - Sap and tapping projects: drill accurate holes for maple syrup taps or similar applications in green wood. - Field carpentry and craft: make pegs, mallets, ladder rungs, fish trap parts, chair components, and other green-wood projects while camping or working outdoors. Specifications and suitability - Material: carbon steel, high-temperature quenched for hardness and durability. - Bit type: self-tapping spiral guide with scotch-eye and cutting point. - Typical hole size: 1-inch diameter holes as described. - Best suited for green or cork wood projects and general field survival/craft use. What you get - Auger hand drill with scotch-eye and self-tapping spiral bit - Protective covers for safe storage and transport - Hooks for attaching to belt or backpack This auger hand drill is a compact, dependable tool for outdoor workers, campers, survivalists, and anyone doing green-wood projects where power tools are impractical.
