AugHog Products LLC AugBrella Commercial Beach Umbrella Sand Anchor - Holder (Red)

Although this product has many good reviews, and seems to be very well made, it is just too big for me. It is about 2 1/2 feet long. If you pull it out at the beach, people are going to think you are drilling for oil. I sent it back without trying it, but I think it would be quite a task sinking this a foot or two into the sand.I bought it because the handle is removable, and you could easily transport it in your umbrella bag. If they ever come out with a 1 1/2 foot version, I'll buy one.

They apparently use the same pictures for the red and pink versions. Thought I was ordering red, got a pink one. It looks sturdy, but I'm a single guy who is not happy with a pink umbrella holder. I will be returning this one.Update: I went back and looked at the pictures on my desktop rather than my phone, and the pictures of the red and pink ones are different. Maybe the pink could use better lighting to better show the color, but that's not what threw me off when ordering. It looks like I clicked on pink by mistake on my phone, realized my mistake, and used the color choice button to change it to red, and clicked on "Done" to change it. And the app didn't change the item. I recreated the error just to make sure that that's what happened. My apologies to AugHog for blaming them for app's failure and my failure to catch it. The item is excellent and deserves 5 starts. I ordered the red.

It seems well built. Have not used it yet but looks great. One issue is the screw hole for the bolt that holds the umbrella is just drilled into the plastic. Not sure how long it will last Would have been better if they used tee nuts. You could always add it as a hack.

OMG - We go the beach no less than 25 days a year. I have gone through 4-5 other umbrella augers but I can tell you that this one not only ROCK SOLID it can withstand the strongest of winds. Rarely do I install it without someone asking where they can buy one. You will NOT be disappointed with the extra investment in this umbrella stand.

Works great. Sturdy construction and solid rod allow you to really screw it deep into the ground. When you take it out you can store the rod in the auger as long as you snug the screw down all the way. Use it on the Florida east coast beaches in 20+ MPH winds with no issues. Great product.

I have purchased several sand anchors throughout the years but the AugBrella outlasted them all. Once placed I did not have to touch till I was ready to leave the beach. It worked great with my Frankford Commercial Grade Umbrella.

So far this has been awesome at holding my Frankford beach umbrella in place on windy days in Florida. I was afraid it would be difficult to anchor in the sand but it was a breeze. I am planning on buying another one to hold up my other umbrella. I have only gad it for a few months but if it holds up it is totally worth the money.

Most umbrellas come with a corkscrew at the end. This product doesn’t work with those. So basically useless unless you’re using a very old umbrella
