BEACHBUB Aluminum Sand Digger Tool - 15" Hole Maker for Beach Umbrellas

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is the BEACHBUB Sand Gopher? A: The BEACHBUB Sand Gopher is a simple yet effective aluminum tool designed to create a firm, compact 15-inch deep hole in the sand. This hole is perfect for securely inserting your beach umbrella pole, sand anchor, or base, helping to prevent tip-overs.
• Q: How does the Sand Gopher work? A: To use the Sand Gopher, first brush away 2-3 inches of the top layer of sand. Then, insert the tool into the sand and push down while twisting it a quarter turn. This motion easily cuts into the sand. Pull the Gopher out; it will remove a plug of sand. Flick the sand out of the tube and repeat the process, pushing deeper each time until you achieve your desired 15-inch hole.
