Augers are used for drilling holes into soil for applications such as fencing, planting and foundation work. They provide a faster and more consistent method of digging compared to manual tools, making them suitable for both landscaping and construction applications.
Bo’s Plant & Tool Hire supplies manual augers and powered augers, including one-man and two-man units, suitable for a range of ground drilling tasks.

Augers
Drilling Applications
Augers are designed to create clean, uniform holes in soil, allowing for accurate placement of posts, plants and structural elements.
They are commonly used for:
- Fence post installation
- Planting trees and shrubs
- Foundation and footing preparation
- General landscaping work
- Ground preparation tasks
Using an auger improves efficiency and ensures more consistent hole sizing.
Manual & Powered Options
Bo’s supplies a range of augers to suit different applications and ground conditions.
Manual augers (200mm & 250mm) are suited to lighter work and smaller jobs, offering a simple and controlled solution for digging holes by hand.
Powered augers provide increased speed and efficiency, making them suitable for larger projects and tougher ground conditions.
Available options include:
- One-man augers for easier handling and general use
- Two-man augers for more demanding applications requiring additional control and power
Selecting the right option depends on the size of the job and the soil conditions.
Choosing The Right Equipment
The correct auger depends on the hole size, soil type and scale of the project.
Manual augers are ideal for lighter work and softer ground, while powered augers are better suited to larger jobs and more compact soil conditions.
Selecting the appropriate equipment ensures efficient operation and consistent results.
