Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of wood is the SLADE survival hand auger drill bit best suited for?

A: This hand auger drill bit is specifically designed for cork and green (freshly cut) wood, making it ideal for outdoor bushcraft and survival projects such as fish traps, ladders, shelter frames, maple syrup taps, and wooden furniture. It can also be used on softer hardwoods with good results.

Q: Does this auger drill bit require a power tool or battery?

Q: Is the SLADE hand auger suitable for a beginner bushcrafter?

Q: How should I maintain and store this drill bit?

A: After each use, wipe the bit clean of wood debris and moisture. Applying a light coat of oil will help prevent surface rust. Store it in the included protective sleeve to keep the cutting edges sharp and safe during transport.
