Our JMC Professional Augers can sample to 30 feet in most soils. Each auger's precisely angled cutting blades pull the auger into the soil approximately 1 inch with every revolution of the handgrip. These blades cut a hole slightly larger than the auger barrel for easy retraction of the auger and sample. Remove the sample easily - just invert auger and thump handgrip on the ground.
Note: Contrary to its name, the clay auger, and not our General Purpose Auger, is the most adaptable to the widest range of soil conditions. For instance, unloading a heavily saturated clay sample in colder weather is much more difficult with the General Purpose Auger. The General Purpose auger, however, will do well in some drier soils that the Clay Auger can't sample.
