An  earth auger is a basic tool for collecting soil samples, which has a wide range of applications in soil, geology, water conservancy, environmental protection, and other fields. The existing earth auger usually includes a drill pipe with a T-handle at the upper end, a drill bit with a foot pedal at the side, and a drill bit with a soil sampler at the lower end. It is a common soil sampler for drilling 20cm deep soil samples, also known as the undisturbed earth auger. In addition, there are detachable soil samplers. The soil sampler, connecting pipe, and handle are connected by thread, which is convenient to carry after disassembly.

For a long time, taking soil samples for physical and chemical property analysis is a frequent and important means to understand and study the nature and change of soil in scientific research and production activities. When workers take soil in the field, they usually use an earth auger to take soil, whether it is soil investigation or agrochemical test of soil farmland. This is mainly because soil samples are taken with  earth augers. The soil taken will not damage the sample structure and will not damage the soil structure. In addition, it can also improve and save the time of soil taking and reduce the work intensity of the staff.

The use method of  earth auger is simple. It adopts the methods of penetration, soil cutting, soil loosening, soil lifting, and soil dumping to realize the rapid collection of soil. The earth auger consists of a sleeve and a spiral drill pipe, and the blade end of the spiral drill pipe is made into a blade shape. During sampling, the sleeve penetrates vertically into the soil under the action of hydraulic pressure, and the auger rotates to cut the soil. The cut soil is transported to the soil outlet at the top of the sleeve under the combined action of the blade and sleeve. After the sleeve is lifted, the soil will enter the collection box directly through the hose under the action of gravity, thus completing soil sampling and collecting.

As society pays more and more attention to agriculture, all links of agricultural production become more and more scientific and standardized. Soil is also the cornerstone of agricultural production. The efficiency and effect of soil sampling also need the help of an appropriate earth auger. It can be seen that although the earth auger is small, it plays a great role.
