Handles and extension rods

Extension rods can be applied when the augering/sampling depth can not be reached with a single or standard divisible auger. By placing extension rods between the handle and the bottom part of the auger, it is possible to auger to a greater depth.

There are two types of connection: the bayonet connection and the conical threaded connection. The advantage of the bayonet connection is that it is a very fast coupling with little weight. A slight disadvantage is that it is not free of clearance.

The bayonet connection is considered as the standard connection.

Conical screw thread connection, this connection is based on the male and female threads on the parts to be coupled. Bij firmly tightening the connection with the aid of spanners, a rigid construction is made.

Ergonomic handle

In view of the limited scientific knowledge burdening the body and the lack of proper regulations with regard to Ergonomics, the awareness of the importance of ergonomically sound ways of working mostly has to come from the business world itself. The T-handle has been extended and its grip points for exerting the force have been put in a different place with the result that the user does not have to exert as much force on the handle. The added ratchet system and the rounded ends to the handle puts the wrist of the user into a more neutral position while twisting and turning the auger. The force on the handle used for pushing and pulling from an ergonomic point of view is best exerted from a neutral wrist position.

Next to the ergonomic handle 01.10.30.BE some alternatives have been developed to give the customer the possibility of drilling in a more ergonomic way.
