Standard Operating Procedures for Auger Drills pre-operation preparation An adequate preparation is key to ensuring safety and efficiency in the process. This procedure includes the following steps:
1. Site Inspection and Utility confirmation. Before starting work, contact your local utility location services to accurately mark the underground pipelines; gas, water, electricity and communication lines. This is a safety requirement procedure is required to eliminate, hazards, serious accidents.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Inspection The operator must wear complete personal protective equipment including safety glasses, heavy gloves, safety boots with steel toes, and long-sleeved work wear. Hearing protection may be necessary based on noise levels of the equipment.
3. Equipment Status Inspection Mechanical Drills: Inspect and check the drill bit and drive unit for any loose bolts, cracks, and/or any other visible damage. Powered Drills (Gas/Electric): Inspect the fuel and oil levels, control switches, and cables. Check that the throttle or power switch is in the "off" position. Hydraulic Drills: Inspect and check the hydraulic hoses for leaks and verify all connections are secured. General Inspection: Confirm the drill bit is sharp and installed securely. Dull bits put more load on the operator and have a potential for kickback.
4. Clear Work Area Remove all debris (rocks, branches, or anything that could trip you) from the work area and maintain a safe distance from any unauthorized personnel.

"As someone who uses a drill 8+ hours a day, durability is a must. The tiger drill has been my daily workhorse in my job for 6 months, and it has stood up better than all the high-end brands I have used. I drill through hardwood, plywood and even MDF (which clogs cheaper drills very quickly) and this drill keeps a tight chuck—no slipping bits mid-job. Also, the battery lasts a full work day (I charge it overnight once!), which saves me from undoing my work mid-job to swap batteries. Last week, I had to drill 50 pilot holes for a deck—this drill was not overheating and my arm did not hurt afterwards. For pros relying on repeatability, the tiger drill is worth every penny."
"Drilling through steel is tough - most drills either bog down or just burn out quickly. The tiger drill? It cuts through 1/4-inch steel as if it is butter. I use it to create custom metal brackets for my small business and it has never let me down. The high-torque is fantastic; I don't have to push very hard, so I get cleaner holes and less wear on my bits. I also love how small it is - it fits in my tool bag easily so I can carry it to the job site. Just the other week, I had a rush order for 20 brackets, and the tiger drill kept up the entire time - no overheating, no loss of power. “
