An electrical handheld shovel system includes a handheld shovel with an auger bit. The shovel includes a motor configured to rotate the auger bit and a portable power source configured to power the motor. The shovel includes an input/output (I/O) device and a controller to control rotation of the auger bit. The shovel has a handle and a shovel portion. In one example, the power source is integrated into the handle, and in another example, the power source is detachably coupled to the handle. The shovel has a gearbox coupled to the motor. The shovel portion includes a blade positioned proximal to the auger bit to retain debris from the auger bit. The auger bit has a flute that is partially covered by the blade, and the blade defines a discharge opening configured to discharge at least some of the debris.

The invention is a multidirectional auger bit mounted on an auger head, and includes a base portion having a distal end that protrudes in an axial direction of the auger head, and leg portions that is continuous with the base portion. The base portion includes a flat portion that is continuous with the leg portion, first inclined portions that are inclined from the flat portion toward a distal end side in the axial direction of the auger head, left and right side surface portions that are continuous from the first inclined portion, and a second inclined portion that is inclined from the first inclined portion toward a leg portion side in the axial direction of the auger head.

Basement shoring apparatus has a modular panel having a panel body having a plurality of parallel drill rod shafts therethrough. Each drill rod shaft has a respective drill rod rotatably engaged therein. Each drill rod extends from a lower edge of the panel body and has a respective auger or cutting head attached at a distal end thereof. Each drill rod is connectable via an upper edge of the panel body for turning. Adjacent drill rods extend to different extent such that blades of respective augers overlap adjacently. As such, modular panel can be drilled into the ground to form shoring wall.

A boring tool may include a coupling portion which may be at an end of the boring tool, a shank operably coupled to the coupling portion, a cutting portion operably coupled to the shank and a feed screw which may be operably coupled to the cutting portion at an opposite end of the boring tool from the coupling portion. The cutting portion may further include a first paddle, a second paddle, and a third paddle. Each paddle may each comprise a paddle body, defined by a leading edge and a lateral edge. The paddle bodies may be disposed equiangular around a perimeter of the cutting portion. The leading edge may extend away from a longitudinal axis of the boring tool in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The lateral edge may extend away from the leading edge in a direction substantially perpendicular to the leading edge.

Skid-steer loader attachment assemblies configured to perform earth augering are provided. The attachment assemblies can include a pair of outriggers. Methods for performing earth augering using a skid-steer are also provided. The methods can include extending dual outriggers from a boom assembly of a skid-steer to engage substrate; and extending an earth auger into the substrate from an auger assembly that is operably engaged between the dual outriggers. Skid-steer loader and attachment assemblies configured to perform earth augering are also provided. Boring assembly coupling assemblies are also provided.
