What is the auger made from?

The auger is made of a rigid plastic. It works great if you get to the snow before it hardens.

Our soil is heavy clay and the auger works well. The way the auger is made, unless the soil holds together, it will run right out of the auger. I guess it would depend on how sandy the soil is.

What Grill? The Seymour AUA2 is a manual operated (armstrong) earth auger. If the question concerns how easily the auger is to clean, then the answer is relatively easily in light, dry soils, but in heavy, wet clays, it is somewhat harder. That being said, this type auger beats the scissor type post-hole digger, hands down!

Yes it has the higher quality silicon seals, scraping fins, and plug. The auger is the new harder plastic. Exactly the same as the SloStar, just at a significantly lower price

No, the spikes are permanently attached and used to drive the auger which disperses the contents.

GE Ultem is used for the augur and screens making them 8 times stronger than traditional juicer parts. Tip is made from metal, see pic here: http://www.fernsnutrition.com/samsonultemauger.jpg

I have had my shovel for two years and have not had to replace any parts. I inspected the auger, whichappears to be a heavy plastic, and have seen no danage to it. The Manuel is good with a list of parts that may need replacement. My neighbor borrowers the shovel to do his 95' driveway and is now going to order a larger shovel for himself.

Says, there is a 4 year warranty....the auger is a heavy gauge plastic, not brittle plastic but rigid.I am on my 6th removal of a foot of snow from my deck....no issues at all.

Daniel, I'm sure all the parts are not steel. Locking ring, auger screw, feed/grinder tube cylinder, and locking ring appear to be aluminum. I believe the cutting blade may be steel, and possibly the two grinding plates are steel. You can call EdgeCraft (as I will do tomorrow) to have your questions answered: 800-342-3255, Avondale PA. The boilerplate in the manual states: "This is not a product of KitchenAid or Whirlpool Corp." The manual is printed in English and French, doesn't say made in China but origins of many manufactured items isn't revealed anymore, I've noticed.

According to the parts manual, WR17X2740 is the correct auger for your unit.

No. It comes with three different types of cutters, spade, spring, and circular cutter. I have used it several times at my house and have had other people borrow it and the auger is long enough.

From my experience the auger does only two things. Constantly tries to climb up onto the snow (needs constant down pressure) and (still) leaves a layer of packed snow on a cement surface that is very slick/difficult to walk on. I only used it once before returning it, in favor of gasoline powered blower which cost a lot more - but does the job.

Steve: This part comes in one piece. Nothing more needed unless you need the bearings on the ends. I recommend you replace them to. You have to take the one on the right of the machine out anyway to get the auger in, the other needs to be pressed out. Good luck

Pellets only. Wood chips are a different composition and would not work with the auger
