Boring Made Easy: Why the M3 Handy Auger is a Game-Changer for Your Next Project

Whether you are a professional contractor or a dedicated DIYer, you’ve likely faced the “dreaded driveway dilemma.” You need to run a new water line, electrical conduit, or irrigation pipe from one side of a paved surface to the other. In the past, this meant expensive trenching, hiring a specialist, or—worst of all—cutting and patching expensive concrete or asphalt.

At Bor-it Manufacturing, we believe there is a better way. Enter the M3 Handy Auger (often simply known as the “Borit” tool)—a lightweight, hydromechanical powerhouse designed to save you time, money, and back-breaking labor.

Here is why the M3 Handy Auger is the must-have tool for anyone working on underground installations.

1. Unmatched Portability and Ease of Use

Most horizontal boring machines are massive, requiring a crew and heavy machinery just to get them into position. The M3 Handy Auger flips the script. Weighing in at just 3.5 pounds, it is the most compact boring device on the market.

It’s small enough to fit into tight spaces where larger machines simply can’t reach. Because it is a one-man operation, you don’t need a large team to get the job done. If you can handle a standard industrial drill, you can handle the Borit.

2. Speed That Saves You Money

Time is money, and the M3 Handy Auger is built for speed. On average, the tool bores at a rate of 1 foot per minute, though experienced users have clocked it even faster.

Consider the alternative: hiring a trenching specialist or a directional drilling crew can cost thousands of dollars. By using the M3, many of our customers report the tool pays for itself in just one or two uses. Instead of spending a full day digging and backfilling, you can complete a 20-foot bore under a driveway in about 20 minutes.

3. Precision in Any Condition

Don’t let the small size fool you—this tool is tough. The M3 Handy Auger is engineered to work in a variety of soil types, including:

• Loam and sand
• Hard clay
• Loose rock and gravel
• Compacted fill

Using a hydromechanical process (combining the rotation of your drill with water pressure from a standard garden hose), the tool “jiggles” aside small rocks and cuts through stubborn roots. Plus, with the use of a simple torpedo level, you can achieve dead-on accuracy, ensuring your pipe exits exactly where you want it to.

4. No More Surface Repairs

The biggest benefit of the M3 Handy Auger is what you don’t see when the job is done. Traditional trenching leaves behind scars: patched asphalt, cracked concrete, and destroyed landscaping.

With the M3, your sidewalks, driveways, and patios remain untouched. You eliminate the cost of “cutting and patching” and keep your customers happy by leaving their property exactly as you found it.

5. Versatility for Every Trade

The M3 is designed to be universal. It fits onto almost any industrial power source you already own, including:

• Electric drills
• Gasoline-powered drills
• Pneumatic or hammer drills

Whether you’re installing a 1/2” conduit or a larger 2” pipe (which can often accommodate multiple lines), the M3 Handy Auger is the versatile solution for electricians, plumbers, landscapers, and cable installers alike.
