Troubleshooting

Extension not attaching firmly to auger

Verify that the auger's connection point is clean and free of debris. Ensure the 20 mm shank is the correct size for your auger's coupling and that it is fully inserted.

Drill struggling to penetrate soil

Check if the auger bit is sharp and free from blockages. Ensure the drill has sufficient power and torque for the soil conditions. The soil may be too hard or contain rocks that impede progress.

Extension wobbling during operation

Re-check all connections between the drill, extension, and auger. Ensure the drill is held stable and aligned with the extension and auger.

Visible rust on the extension

Clean the rusted area with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or a light coating of oil to protect the steel surface. Ensure proper storage in a dry environment.
