AugHog® AugBrella Commercial-Grade Beach Umbrella Sand Anchor White – Heavy-Duty 31″ Deep Auger with Stainless Steel Hardware – Fits Poles up to 1.6″ – UV & Impact Resistant – Made in USA (Pink)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks like a great product BUT DID NOT fit my coolbar umbrella for which I bought it.

Seems to be a stout setup. Looking forward to trying it out with our new Frankford 7.5' umbrella.

Very sturdy, works great in dry sand but struggles in wet packed sand.
