What Is A Drilling Bucket?

A drilling bucket auger is one of the most commonly used tools in foundation drilling, especially for bored pile construction. It is mainly designed for drilling in soil, clay, sand, gravel, and even weak rock formations. The bucket works by cutting into the ground with bullet teeth or flat teeth, collecting soil or rock fragments inside the barrel, and then being lifted out by the rotary drilling rig to clean the hole.
