  • Sturdy. Goes thru rocky soils
This tool is great. drills holes in our rocky soil. Easiest way to plant bulbs I have ever used. Cuts time and labor. One other advantage is depth of bulb. I've used shovels (large and small), picks, and spud bar. It is difficult to get the bulbs down to the depth needed. This helps me plant each bulb down to about 6 inches. Only problem is that, Now, I have no excuse for planting a few hundred bulbs. ... show more

  • Serious time saver
I love this little piece of steel because it saves me hours in the garden! It's very study and works with my DeWalt 1/4" drill. Fortunately, the drill came with two batteries, because this does drain them after about 10 - 15 minutes of heavy use. It slings dirt everywhere if you set the drill to full torque, so be prepared for that. It will dig up rock and break small roots, but it gets caught on larger roots, so you may need to clip them as they get exposed. I have dug larger holes by angling the drill at 60 degrees, and then repositioning the drill to extract more dirt. It's a very tough bit made of heavy steel. My guess is you only ever have to buy one of these. ... show more

  • Great for digging
The auger was amazingly impressive. It is strong and digs a good hole. It did not clear the hole well. You do need a strong hand when digging in rock. A strong battery operated drill (no 12v models here!) worked well but ran the battery down quickly. We had 2000 bulbs to plant so it was important. You can easily get 100-200 bulbs off one charge. Your count will vary on depth and how hard the soil is in your area. Make sure to switch your drill into the slow speed, high torque setting if available. The 3" model is a little wide for typical bulbs but that is better than too narrow. ... show more

  • Working great so far
Size: 3 x 24 Inch
I've had this less than a week. I've used it to drill maybe 100 holes in my garden. So far it has worked very well although it doesn't do well with rocks. We have clay soil that is very wet. This digs in pretty good and makes drilling holes for potatoes and potted plants a quick exercise. When I go past 2-3 inches deep, the torque comes back to the drill so you should probably hold on with both hands or it will twist your forearm. About 10-20% of the time, I've had to reverse the drill and back out because the Auger and drill were putting too much torque on my hands. I'm starting to try and go a little slower so I don't get the torque coming back at me as much. So far it seems strong and well made. It can take a few attempts to get the shaft to be tightened into the chuck in the drill. Perhaps I didn't get it lined upright as it worked better today. ... show more

  • We bought it for plants. We use it mostly for fence posts. Who would have guessed?
Size: 3 x 24 Inch
It is perfect for plants. It took me a bit of practice to learn how best to hold it so it did not just auger itself into the ground without making a usable hole. I have to brace my wrists on my knees and let it down slowly. The other trick is removing the dirt that it dislodges. I find I can stop the drill, pull out the auger, position it a foot or two away, and give it a good spin to shake off the dirt. Then back into the hole. I love how deep I can do with it. We have used it to "plant" 4x4 posts. It is much better for us than trying to use a shovel. I just angle the auger back and forth to make the hole wider. It works like a champ. We are so glad we got this tool. ... show more

  • Moisten hard soil firstp
Size: 3 x 24 Inch
I needed an 18” deep hole to install a 3” PVC pipe that was 8’ long. Since we have had many 100+ days here with no rain, I ran a small sprinkler overnight at the intended spot. Using a 1/2” corded hammer drill, it took less than 5 minutes to reach that depth. I backed out the auger a few times to clear the dirt, but there was no spinning of the bit. I also had a handle installed as there is quite a bit of torque involved and could sprain your wrist. This was definitely the right tool for the job, and I highly recommend it. ... show more

  • soft metal wears fast but useful and worth the money
the cone shaped tip hits hard dirt and doesnt go into hard dirt very well. they should have made a flat tip like a screwdriver to help get the tip going. the metal wears fast. i rototilled my yard then used this to auger holes to plant my new groundcover. im seeing significant wear on the auger after 50 holes. the auger is only welded at the ends. that spiral will fall off as soon as that first welded area breaks. the good stuff is that its easy to use and they size is good. it doesnt catch in the hole very much even when it hits rocks. it broke up a few rocks and it lifts the dirt out of the hole pretty well. ... show more

  • Great if you use it properly
I was initially hesitant to purchase this because of some negative reviews and pictures of how fragile this is. After using it, I realized some people may have been using it incorrectly. It should not be be used like a drill where you apply constant pressure. This can lead to the auger from stopping or bending if you have a powerful drill. Instead I kept doing an up and down motion where I would dump out part of the dirt so it won't get stuck. This is what I've learned when I used a professional auger for post digging. As long as I kept doing this, I had no problems digging holes. I can't say if this will work on hard clay but for general soil it works great. Also if the ground is too hard, soak the dirt in water the night before to loosen the soil. ... show more
