    Drill & Auger Bits & Drill Related Tools

 

Pump Auger or Pipe Auger Drill Bits  There are 8 different versions or sizes of these rare auger drills included here.  Several have aux. guards or cutters attached that could be sharpened and / or replaced.  These were mostly used by early settlers to make water pipes or pump housings.  I was reading one story where the early California settlers used a set of these to bring down the largest of the virgin Redwoods or Sequoias down by Calaveras back in the early days when they could not think of any other way to bring down a 300+ ft. tall tree that was over 25' in Dia.  It took them 20 some days to destroy what had taken 2,000 or more years to grow, just so they could say they did it.     All appear to be usable.  Nice.    click for Pic     click for Pic      click for Pic

5' Auger Bit  I am not sure if this is anything more than an early and primitive form of post hole digger or if it had some other special purpose.  It stands close to 5' tall, and the cutter is approx 3" in Dia.  Whatever it original purpose, it is large and graphic and deserves a corner or wall to be hung on to illustrate how it use to be done.      Click for pic
