An auger with some serious bite. Born from over five decades of in the trenches engineering expertise and field experience. The pitched boring head plus, increased pitched and cupped flighting make your digging experience extra special.
Better penetration and ripping action, more aggressive in tougher soils. If that’s not enough, the power required to dig that ol’ hole in the ground is minimized. Means less stress on you and the digging machine. If you don’t like cleaning up the post dig mess, the cupped flighting produces cleaner holes with less spill back. Creates more time for you to do other things like dig more holes. You just may not want to stop. Finally, an auger with a silver lining. Engineered for maximum performance, taking daily abuse and extending service life. Same inventory can be used for both the 242H and 262H EPIC® hole diggers. Excellent for small hand-held hole diggers. Get real, get Bor-Max, it’s time to rip a hole a new one. Do it for fun, do it to gain more money. It’s up to you. Now you have a choice. Go for both if you like. Can you dig it?
