The beachBUB® Sand Gopher is a very simple tool designed to make your beach umbrella setup easier. Anyone who has ever set up a beach umbrella knows that it can be difficult to get the umbrella pole deep enough into the sand. Most beachgoers will dig a hole by hand or try to use brute force to drive the tip of the umbrella pole into the sand, but the results are often shallow and unstable. In 2016, beachBUB® Beach Umbrella System customers asked if there was a simpler way to make a hole for their beach umbrella. After 2 years of development and testing, the beachBUB® Sand Gopher beach umbrella drill was invented. It has since been awarded a U.S. Utility Patent. With the beachBUB® Sand Gopher, all you have to do is: Brush away the top layer of dry, powdery sand to create a smooth, level surface. Push the Sand Gopher straight down with a twisting and grinding motion, giving it about a quarter turn. Remove the tool and, with a quick flick, gently eject the 5-inch plug of sand from the tube. Repeat as needed. In less than 30 seconds, you'll have a perfect hole ready for your umbrella stand! The beachBUB® Sand Gopher is just another way that beachBUB® USA is making life on the beach safer and easier.
