Blue Diamond Auger Extensions - Fixed And Variable - 205365
Introducing our Auger Extensions, available in 2', 4', and 6' lengths. The variable option has a hole every 12" for multiple positioning, while the fixed option is a solid shaft ideal for strenuous applications or high-pressure drive units. Both options feature a hex shaft, compatible with 10" bits and larger. Upgrade your drilling capabilities effortlessly!

-
Durable Build: Crafted with reinforced steel to withstand torsional forces during drilling.
-
Secure Coupling: Designed for tight, robust connections to prevent wobble or slippage.
-
Versatile Use: Ideal for deep post holes, tree planting, or footings where extra depth is needed.
Q&A
Q: What are the Blue Diamond Auger Extensions — Fixed and Variable (model 205365)?
A: These are extension rods that attach to standard auger bits or drives to increase drilling depth. They come in fixed lengths or variable (adjustable) designs.
Q: How do they operate?
A: They couple between the auger drive and the bit (or between bits). Variable extensions allow you to adjust the length as needed; fixed extensions have a set length.
Q: Are they durable?
A: Yes — constructed from robust materials and engineered to resist bending, torque stress, and wear during deep drilling.
Q: What extension lengths or depths can they achieve?
A: The final depth depends on the combination of your base bit, extension length, and drilling conditions. The variable model gives flexibility in depth adjustment.
Q: What equipment is it compatible with?
A: Designed to connect to standard auger drives and bits used with skid steers or compatible hydraulic drilling systems.
Maintenance Tips
-
Inspect Couplings & Joints: Check for wear, looseness, or damage before drilling.
-
Lubricate Connection Threads: Use grease or anti-seize on threads or coupling surfaces to ease assembly and reduce wear.
-
Check Alignment: Ensure the extension is straight and properly aligned to avoid wobble under load.
-
Clean After Use: Remove soil, debris, and compacted material from the extension and coupling areas.
-
Store Safely: Keep extensions in a dry, protected area to avoid bending or corrosion.
