Electric Earth Auger

An electric auger is a tool used to dig holes, often for fence posts or other large posts, as well as for digging holes in ice for ice fishing. Unlike motorized augers, an electric auger runs off an electric current either from an electrical outlet in the home, off a car battery, or off a generator.Earth augers are used for making holes in the ground and are built with a rotating metal pipe or rod with one or more blades attached at the lower end. As suggested by the name, an earth auger is designed to cut or scrape through ground and soil.
