auger


auger
An auger is a tool used for boring holes in wood, earth, ice, or other material, or more generally, for moving material along a large corkscrew. A hand-held auger is T-shaped and is gripped by the handle with both hands. By contrast, a gimlet, like a wine bottle corkscrew, is worked with just one hand.
