Seymour S500 Industrial IWAN Auger - 6-inch Diameter with Hardwood Handle | General-Purpose Soil Auger

Overview

The Seymour S500 Industrial IWAN Auger is built for tough outdoor digging, offering a blend of sturdy construction and comfortable handling. The 6-inch point spread helps create clean, stable holes, while the hardwood handle provides a natural, secure grip that remains comfortable through longer work sessions.

Durable design and build quality

A steel shaft connects to a welded T-handle, giving you firm leverage and predictable torque as you rotate the auger through soil. The combination of material choices and a well-balanced profile contributes to a tool that feels dependable in real-world digging tasks.
