Drill Faster, Straighter, Smarter: Meet the Hyundai 52cc Petrol Earth Auger

If you’re planting trees, setting fence posts, or building a deck, the hardest part is always the holes. The Hyundai Petrol Auger 52cc turns slow, back-breaking digging into a fast, one-person job—clean, straight holes in minutes, not hours. With a high-torque 52cc engine, anti-vibration design and three quick-swap drill bits, it’s the compact workhorse Aussie tradies and DIYers love. 

Why this auger?

• Power that bites: A durable 52cc 2-stroke engine delivers strong mid-range torque, so you don’t have to run it flat-out—great for fuel economy and engine life. 

• Three jobs, one tool: Comes with 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm steel auger bits—ideal for plants, star pickets, fence posts and small footings. Quick-release makes bit changes fast. Max drilling depth up to 730mm. 

• Controlled, comfortable digging: Anti-vibration system, large vibration-reducing handlebar, and fingertip throttle + safety trigger on the right-hand grip keep holes straight and wrists happier. Approx. 13kg for a strong power-to-weight feel. 

• Built tough for Aussie conditions: Heavy-duty air filter and gear reduction in a rugged frame for long service life. Shipped from an Australian warehouse with local support.

5-step quick start (and safety)

1. Mix fresh petrol/oil as specified, fill the 1L tank. 

2. Fit your bit and check the safety trigger/throttle on the right-hand grip. 

3. Mark hole locations; start at low revs to keep holes straight.

4. Let the auger do the work—don’t fight it. Clear spoil as you go.

5. Between holes: check bit tightness and give the air filter some love for longevity.
