- Powered by a 68cc gasoline (petrol) engine with a 1700W rated power input, the ID AD6817 delivers the high-torque output needed to bore through dense soil, clay, and rocky ground without stalling — making it one of the most capable petrol earth augers in its class.
- The machine features a 2mm stroke mechanism that ensures consistent, controlled penetration depth with every rotation, reducing operator effort and improving hole uniformity across repetitive drilling tasks on construction and landscaping sites.
- Built with heavy-duty, industrial-grade materials and a double insulation design, the ID AD6817 is engineered to outlast demanding jobsite conditions — the double insulation architecture ensures that all internal electrical components remain fully isolated from the outer casing, significantly reducing the risk of electrical faults.
- The 1-litre fuel tank capacity supports extended continuous operation between refuels, minimising downtime on large-scale projects such as utility pole installation, agricultural irrigation setup, or multi-post fencing across wide plots.
- Supplied with a comprehensive accessory kit including a Guide Book, Spanner, Socket, Screwdriver, and a 600ml Oil Mixing Bottle, the ID AD6817 arrives ready for immediate deployment — no additional tooling required for assembly, maintenance, or first-use preparation.
- The ergonomic handle design with vibration-dampening reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use, while the intuitive throttle and depth adjustment controls allow a single operator to manage drilling depth and speed with precision — ideal for professionals who require repeatable results across multiple bore points.
The ID AD6817 Gasoline Earth Auger Machine is CE certified and comes complete with the following in the box: Machine (1 Pc), Guide Book (1 Pc), Spanner (1 Pc), Socket (1 Pc), Screwdriver (1 Pc), and an Oil Mixing Bottle 600ml (1 Pc) — everything needed to get started right out of the packaging.
General Purchase & Comparison Queries
What makes the ID AD6817 different from other gasoline earth augers on the market?
The ID AD6817 by Ideal Power Tools stands out through its combination of a 68cc engine, 1700W rated power input, and double insulation safety design — a feature rarely found in entry-to-mid-range petrol augers.

Is the ID AD6817 suitable for both professional contractors and DIY users?
Yes. The ID AD6817 is designed to serve both professional contractors and serious DIY users. Its ergonomic, vibration-dampened handle and intuitive depth adjustment controls make it accessible for first-time auger operators, while the 68cc gasoline engine and 1700W power output meet the demands of high-frequency professional use on construction, landscaping, and utility installation sites.
What fuel does the ID AD6817 use, and where can I source it?
The ID AD6817 runs on gasoline (petrol), which is widely available at any standard fuel station. The machine includes a 600ml Oil Mixing Bottle in the box to help you prepare the correct fuel-to-oil mixture for the 2-stroke engine — always refer to the included Guide Book for the recommended mixing ratio to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Product-Specific and Usage Queries
What are the key specifications of the ID AD6817 Gasoline Earth Auger?
The ID AD6817 features a 68cc engine capacity, a 1700W rated power input, a 2mm stroke, and a 1-litre fuel tank capacity. These specifications position it as a high-output, field-ready auger capable of sustained drilling in demanding ground conditions including compacted soil, clay, and rocky terrain.
Can the ID AD6817 drill through clay and rocky ground?
Yes. The ID AD6817 is specifically designed for use in soil, clay, and rocky terrain. The high-torque 68cc gasoline engine provides the rotational force needed to penetrate compacted and mixed-composition ground. For best results in extremely rocky conditions, ensure the auger bit is appropriate for the terrain type and that the machine is operated at the recommended throttle setting as outlined in the Guide Book.
What is included in the box with the ID AD6817?
The ID AD6817 ships with a complete ready-to-use kit: Machine (1 Pc), Guide Book (1 Pc), Spanner (1 Pc), Socket (1 Pc), Screwdriver (1 Pc), and an Oil Mixing Bottle 600ml (1 Pc). This ensures you have all the essential tools for assembly, first-use fuel preparation, and basic maintenance without needing to source additional accessories separately.
Problem/Solution-Oriented Queries
What should I do if the engine is difficult to start?
If the engine is hard to start, first verify that the fuel mixture is correctly prepared using the included Oil Mixing Bottle and the ratio specified in the Guide Book. Ensure the fuel tank is not empty and that the choke is set to the correct position for cold or warm starting. Check that the spark plug is clean and properly seated. If the issue persists after following the Guide Book troubleshooting steps, contact Ideal Power Tools support for further assistance.
The auger is vibrating excessively during operation — what could be causing this?
Excessive vibration is most commonly caused by a damaged or unbalanced auger bit, loose fasteners, or an engine running on an incorrect fuel mixture. Inspect the auger bit for bends or damage and replace if necessary. Tighten all bolts and connections using the included Spanner and Socket. Ensure the fuel-to-oil ratio is correct as per the Guide Book. The ID AD6817's ergonomic vibration-dampening handle is designed to minimise normal operational vibration — persistent abnormal vibration should be assessed by a qualified technician.
How do I maintain the ID AD6817 to ensure long-term performance?
Regular maintenance is key to maximising the lifespan of your ID AD6817. After each use, drain or stabilise the fuel if storing for extended periods to prevent carburettor clogging. Clean the air filter periodically and inspect the spark plug for fouling. Use the included Spanner and Socket to check and tighten all mechanical connections before each session. Always refer to the Guide Book for the full maintenance schedule and service intervals recommended by Ideal Power Tools.
