I thought about splitting washers and offsetting them and Welding them to a shaft, I just never have. I know you can buy them, but where's the fun in that!

I found some 6" augers used to anchor down trailer houses. All you would have to do is cut off the shank. You could also weld on an edge if you like to make it last longer.

I thought about splitting washers and offsetting them and Welding them to a shaft, I just never have. I know you can buy them, but where's the fun in that! I've done that. They work ok. I only use 1/2" washers so they made a hole about 1 1/2" wide. Don't let them dig too deep until you pull back on them or they just screw into the ground and you have to back them out.

Tom Stalker makes great 2” and 3” augers. I use them to auger 4-5 holes for the trap bed which I then connect with a digging hammer, spade, maul, or Pulaski.
Tom does not make a 6” auger. Recently I specifically asked him to make a 6” auger for me. He said getting the proper flighting is a problem.
All of Tom’s tools are top grade!
