Abstract
A hole making system for efficiently cutting a hole into a ground surface and for allowing effective removal of the plug. The inventive device includes a cutter assembly, a tamper assembly slidably positioned within the cutter assembly, and a hammer assembly slidably positioned about the tamper assembly for driving the cutter assembly into a ground surface. The tamper assembly includes a first depth indicator and a second depth indicator for indicating to the user the approximate depth of the hole being created. An alignment level is preferably positioned within a handle assembly of the tamper assembly for indicating to the operator the relative vertical alignment of the cutter assembly.
Claims19
A hole making system, comprising:
- a blade member having a tubular structure and a cutting edge;
- and a plate member connected to said blade member opposite of said cutting edge;
- a shaft extending through said plate member;
- a hammer assembly slidably positioned upon said shaft for engaging and driving said blade member into a ground surface;
- a cushion member positioned between said plate member and said hammer assembly;
- and a handle assembly positioned at the top of said shaft.
A hole making system, comprising:
- a blade member having a tubular structure, a cutting edge, and a plate member connected to said blade member opposite of said cutting edge;
- a tamper assembly having a shaft slidably extending through said plate member of said blade member, wherin said shaft includes an engaging end for engaging a plug within said blade member;
- a hammer assembly slidably positioned upon said tamper assembly for driving said blade member into a ground surface;
- and a cushion member positioned between said hammer assembly and said blade member.
A hole making system comprising:
- a blade member having a tubular structure, a cutting edge, and a plate member opposite of said cutting edge;
- a tamper assembly comprising a shaft slidably extending through said plate member of said blade member, a tamper plate positioned within a lumen of said blade member, a tamper handle secured to said shaft opposite of said tamper plate, and at least one depth indicator upon said shaft;
- and a hammer assembly comprising a sleeve slidably positioned about said shaft between said tamper handle and said blade member, a driving handle secured to said sleeve, and a hammer head secured to said sleeve opposite of said driving handle and in opposition to said blade member;
- a plurality of hook members secured to said blade member;
- a plurality of pin members radially extending from said hammer head, wherein said plurality of pin members are selectively engagable within said plurality of hook members;
- a level secured within said tamper handle for indicating a vertical alignment of said blade member;
- and a cushion member positioned between said hammer head and said plate member of said blade member.
