Auger Accessories

Eijkelkamp soil auger accessories — coupling sleeves, bayonet adaptors, impact absorbing hammers, spatulas, peat probes and carrying bags. These are the small, inexpensive parts that decide whether a day of augering runs smoothly or turns into a fight with the kit. Genuine Eijkelkamp equipment supplied direct from our UK operation.

Joining and adapting the string

Most auger problems are connection problems. These parts keep the string tight, aligned and compatible with equipment you already own.

  • Coupling Sleeve — joins components and holds them aligned under load. A worn sleeve transfers wear to the rods and heads, which cost considerably more to replace.
  • Adaptor Conical Thread Connection To Bayonet — bridges the two Eijkelkamp connection systems so mixed-generation kit still works together.

Driving and striking

  • Impact Absorbing Hammer — damps rebound when driving gouge augers, sample tubes and beathead handles. Protects the tool and the operator in a way an ordinary lump hammer does not.

Pair it with the auger handle with beathead. Striking a standard handle will deform it and loosen the couplings.

Handling the sample

  • Bent Spatula — angled blade for clearing an auger head and trimming a sample face cleanly.
  • Thumb Spatula — smaller and shaped for sub-sampling, cleaning sampling rings and close work.

Surveying and transport

  • Peat Probe — sounds the depth to the base of a peat deposit or a firmer layer without recovering material, so you can site boreholes intelligently before you start augering.
  • Carrying Bag for Field Equipment — keeps heads, rods, spatulas and adaptors together and accounted for. The cheapest insurance against leaving a component in a field.

Why the small parts matter

Accessories are the first thing cut from an order and the first thing missed on site. A seized coupling with no spare sleeve, a sample you cannot get off the blade because the spatula is in the van, or a bayonet head that will not mate with a threaded rod — each of these stops work as effectively as a broken auger, and each is solved by a part costing a fraction of the head. If you are assembling a kit, budget for the accessories at the same time rather than after the first frustrating site visit.

Building the rest of the set

Accessories support the main components: hand auger heads matched to your soil, handles, extension rods for depth, and gouge augers where you need an undisturbed core. Complete hand auger sets arrive with the main parts already matched.

Auger accessory FAQs

At minimum, something to join the string reliably and something to get the sample off the blade — so a coupling sleeve and a spatula. Beyond that it depends on the work: an impact absorbing hammer if you drive gouge augers or sample tubes, an adaptor if you are mixing connection types, a peat probe for depth checks in soft ground, and a carrying bag so none of it gets lost on site.
It joins two components in the auger string and keeps them aligned under load. A worn or missing sleeve lets the connection flex, which makes turning harder and wears the mating threads on your rods and heads — a far more expensive thing to replace than the sleeve itself.
When your existing kit uses a conical thread connection and the component you want to add uses bayonet, or the reverse. Eijkelkamp uses both systems and they will not mate directly. The adaptor conical thread connection to bayonet bridges them so you can keep using equipment you already own.
Because the energy that does not go into the ground goes into the tool and into your wrists. An impact absorbing hammer damps the rebound, which protects the beathead, the couplings and the operator. Driving Eijkelkamp equipment with an ordinary lump hammer shortens the life of everything in the string.
The bent spatula has an angled blade for scraping soil off an auger head and trimming a sample cleanly. The thumb spatula is smaller and shaped for close work — taking a sub-sample, cleaning a sampling ring or working a small quantity of soil. Most field kits carry both because they are light and cheap.
No. A peat probe is a depth-sounding tool used to find the base of a peat deposit or the depth to a firmer layer quickly, without recovering material. Use it to plan where to put your boreholes, then take the actual samples with a peat sampler or gouge auger.

Ordering and support

Everything listed here is genuine Eijkelkamp equipment supplied direct from our UK operation, so adaptors and sleeves mate correctly with kit you already own.
