Scissor Presses Straighten Auger Tubes
Albert Stier, Petersburg, Ill., came up with a way to make auger repairs himself. He makes auger expanders using two pieces of half-round heavy-gauge steel pipe welded to the top and bottom of an automotive-type scissors jack.
To repair an auger, he attaches a pipe-crank to one of his expanders, pushes it into the auger tube, and then cranks the jack from the end of the pipe.
Stier has made two sizes of expanders to fit most augers.
