What Makes the Wobble Auger Different?

Unlike traditional flighted augers that pull dirt out and leave a mess, the Wobble Auger uses an offset cone design to compact soil into the sidewalls and bottom of the hole. The result?

  • No loose dirt piles to clean up.
  • Ready-to-set holes for posts or concrete.
  • Less labor and more productivity.

Ideal for:

  • Residential and commercial fence installation
  • Piloting holes for larger posts
  • Jobs requiring concrete setting
  • Mixed soil environments with embedded rock

Available in 4", 6", and 9" diameters with a 48" length for versatile applications.

The right side is labelled Flighted auger and shows a hole with loose dirt and rock inside and around the hole.

How Does It Compare to Traditional Flighted Augers?

Real-World Feedback: What Users Are Saying

The recent Facebook discussion around the Wobble Auger was lively, and here’s what stood out:

Where the Wobble Auger Excels:

  • Labor Saver: Fence builders love that there’s no dirt to shovel or tamp. One commenter said, “This would’ve come in handy yesterday!”
  • Handles Tough Conditions: Works through clay and rocky soils, pushing rocks aside instead of getting stuck.
  • Clean Holes: Perfect for concrete-set posts—no loose material falling back in.

Where a Flighted Auger Might Be Better:

  • Need Extra Depth. If your project calls for drilling deeper than standard post holes, a flighted auger is the better choice.
  • Running a Light-Duty Machine. Wobble Augers shine with machines that have solid down pressure. If your setup is lighter, a flighted auger will perform more reliably.
  • Planning Backfill Work. Wobble Augers leave clean holes for concrete, but if you need loose soil for tamping or backfill, a flighted auger is ideal.
