There’s nothing quite as peaceful as sitting on the beach under the shade of an umbrella. However, when the wind picks up, disaster can strike. In fact: “The consumer product safety commission states that over 3,000 people are treated in the hospital each year for beach umbrella related injuries.” The biggest problems seem to be that beach umbrellas are simply not deep enough in the sand. Sure, you can try using the ones with the screw attachment, but they are hard to use and most people give up before they get deep enough. The Holei Molei Sand Pump solves this problem helping you create a 16″ deep hole in the sand in seconds.
