Earth Auger CAPO 130 mm
Code: JEZ_CASW-130/ER-CAPOProduct detailed description
The CAPO hand earth auger with a thread diameter of 100 mm is an ideal helper when you are about to plant shrubs or trees or building a fence and are about to fix new posts.
This hand auger is characterized by its shape. The auger consists of a rubberized handle that is welded to the shaft and blade into a "T" shape. Combined with hardened boron steel, this design allows more force to be applied when digging holes. However, thanks to the thread design, this will otherwise be relatively easy.

- Thread diameter: 250 mm
- Auger length: 106 cm
- Auger tip length (part of the auger below the thread): 9 cm
- Handle length: 51 cm
- Material: boron (Finnish) steel
- Weight: 3 kg
- Warranty: 5 years
How to use the auger
Place the tip of the auger at the spot where you plan to dig a hole so that the thread touches the ground. By turning it clockwise, the auger will start drilling into the ground. In the video below, you can see how the CAPO auger works. Unlike a hand auger with a spiral shape (first part of the video), there is no significant spilling of soil. It layers up in the hole being dug. Thanks to this, less effort will be required. Current auger models are already equipped with a marking on the shaft, thanks to which you know whether you have already reached the desired depth. Check out the comparison of augers in the video.
Choosing the auger diameter
CAPO augers are manufactured in 5 different variants with thread diameters from 100 to 250 mm. The thread diameter determines how wide the dug hole will be. The diameters of the best-selling fence posts are up to 50 mm, which is why an auger up to 150 mm will be sufficient for fixing posts. On the other hand, when planting new shrubs, trees, or perennials in the garden, it is recommended to dig holes with diameters from 20 cm, in which case you should choose an auger with a larger diameter.
All remaining auger parameters are identical.
Boron steel and extended 5-year warranty
CAPO tools are made of ultra-hardened boron steel (also known as Finnish steel). This gives the cylinders excellent strength and long-term resistance to material wear, which results in a significantly longer service life, even under otherwise unfavorable conditions.
This is why the manufacturer provides an extended five-year warranty on CAPO brand products. If a defect occurs on the cylinder at any time during the first five years of use, send it to us and we will promptly send you a new, undamaged product back.
What to buy along with the auger
Unlike motorized augers, CAPO hand augers are characterized by ease of use and are maintenance-free. No additional accessories are needed to drill holes. However, for greater comfort while digging holes, we recommend getting work gloves. For accurate measurement of fence post placement, a spirit level, tape measure, measuring tape, or string may also come in handy. You can deal with small stones in the ground using a crowbar.
When planting plants in the garden, soil with the necessary nutrients for growth may come in handy, which you can further work with using a shovel or rake.
Packaging and delivery method
We will deliver the product to you by standard parcel shipping and it will be packed so that it is not damaged during transport. The packaging method itself depends on the number of pieces ordered and other items in the order. A single cylinder will most often be packed in a cardboard box and stretch film.
What customers say about the CAPO auger
"Used in the forest to build a fence. Used in hard clay soil - it can handle small roots too. Very robust construction. After drilling about 200 holes, still no damage." (Lukáš Ž.)
"After trying it in heavy clay soil, I am satisfied. I appreciate the two blades and the higher stepping of the auger spiral. Good price and quality." (Karel P.)
"Perfect auger, highly recommended. And it drilled best when I watered the soil first, then it went literally like butter. 80 cm deep in a moment." (Karel H.)
