What happens here

Simon from GeoRipper presents the MiniTrencher, a handheld directional auger designed for digging underneath hard surfaces like sidewalks and driveways without the need to cut concrete or use water, which can be messy. He highlights two power options: a 4-stroke Honda powerhead and a quieter, battery-powered Makita XTJ unit recommended for residential areas. The system includes 2-inch and 4-inch augers with extensions, and a 1-inch boring bit specifically for installing conduit and fiber. The product is available directly from GeoRipper, through distributors, and via MiniTrencher.com.
