Background
The Earthquake Auger 8900 is a gasoline-powered earth auger. This device is primarily used for drilling holes in various types of soil. Common uses include creating spaces for fence posts, planting trees and shrubs, and setting up mailboxes. The auger is equipped with a 90cc 4-cycle engine and a two-stage planetary gearbox, which provide high torque for drilling in challenging soil conditions. The gearbox has a gear ratio of 109:1.
An 8" diameter screw bit is included with the auger, which allows it to create holes up to 24" deep and 8" wide. The screw bit is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel, enhancing its durability. The handle of the auger is padded and adjustable to accommodate different heights. Other features encompass a centrifugal clutch for smoother operation, dual rubber vibration isolators for reducing user fatigue, and integrated debris shields for keeping the engine clean.
