It is a great tool for its purposes
Size: 18 inches
I just finished a yard construction job where I, as a homeowner, needed to drill holes about 12" deep to drive steel tubes down into the ground to function as leg supports for a wrought iron trellis. This auger drills 1.25" holes into soil. It worked perfectly. I am not a construction worker and I am not building skyscrapers. This inexpensive tool is spectacular for its purposes and price. I cannot believe some reviewers whine over its quality. It is quite fine for its purposes. It's fabricated as one might expect and works well. I did lots of online research and also drove to several gardening and farm supply stores. NO ONE offered a 1.25" diameter garden auger. I then went home and despite some of the complainer-reviews I ordered this product. The project is complete. The auger is excellent. If your soil hard-packed, perhaps wet it awhile, first. But I had no problem at all. ... show more

Heavy duty Man Dream Tool --Georgia Clay Tough
Size: 30 inches
My hubby is in love with this thing. He has been planting Monkey grass. He said once you play with it enough and figure out how to slightly tilt it, it will not shake you after that. Now that he is used to it, he loves it. He prefers it with a plug in drill. Runs down Cordless really fast. really heavy duty materials. We live in Georgia, so we are going through compacted hard clay that is hard as rock and bent a aluminum fancy handled bulb planter right in two. He said this went through with little effort. This is a champ. My hubby is very picky in the tools dept. and expects quality. He is fully satisfied with this product. Ok now husband has a few words. Don't use a cordless drill. Have a dealt 18v and its worthless with this tool. I'm now using heavy duty Milwaukee corded drill and as long as chuck is very tight it works like a champ. Once start to hit a rock or large root let off or will strip auger and loose the chuck. So far 1000+ holes dug with little effort. ... show more

Better than expected, but not amazing.
Size: 24 inches
Considering that this auger was not terribly expensive, I am not terribly concerned with the relatively weak metal used in its construction. Fortunately, the weak-ish metal has not led to any breaks in the auger/twist portion of this bit. However, if you are not extremely careful, you will inevitably strip the metal away that is inside the drill chuck to the point that it breaks off or needs to be broken off. Fortunately, I rarely drill much deeper than the twisted section goes anyway, so I just break off the stripped metal and put the bit back in my drill. After that, I just have to bend over ever-so-slightly more to use the auger. Another thing to watch out for is if the auger hits a rock or something else hard and binds on you. If it does that, be prepared for the drill to try to rip your wrist off. I find keeping the drill handle near my near saves my wrist, but leads to huge bruises on my thigh. Pick your poison. ... show more

Real time and energy saver!
Size: 9 inches
I have a row of huge spruce trees that need to be fed twice yearly. Previously, I've pounded 7-8 tree spikes in each, which was exhausting. Most did not go in easily and some crumbled before they were deep enough to do any good. With the Roto driller, I was able to drill a hole in the ground wide and deep enough to pour granular time-release fertilizer into each hole. It took half the time and less than half the energy to get the job done. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for ease of use was that the bit was so efficient, it had to be held back or it would go so deep into the ground that I feared I would have to dig it out. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was perfect. I'll never pound tree spikes again! ... show more

Easy! Saves time, work, and backs!
Size: 30 inches
Just used it to plant 200 daffodils! Wonderful. All done (including raking mulch away & restoring when done) in a couple of hours or so. I was afraid this might be too narrow for the high-quality daffodil bulbs, but probably 90 to 95% of them slipped right in; the remainders were often a bulb and a second 'bulblet'. Broke the apart, and all planted. I was afraid of how big of a chore this would be - now I wish I'd ordered 500 or more bulbs! I planted beneath crepe myrtles, an oak, a maple, a pine, and a redbud. Only occasionally hit a root, and usually it was just deflected a little and kept digging. It's narrow enough it can find its way around most, I guess. I used a cordless drill with the clutch set a few settings below maximum. That way when it did hit something, it merely 'clutched' rather than wrenching my wrist. Worked great. I did go ahead beforehand and grind off a rough hex pattern at top of shaft, so I don't know if the round shaft would spin or not. Mine never came loose. ... show more

A good tool with a significant design flaw.
Size: 30 inches
This is a good tool with one (correctable) flaw. As others here have mentioned, the shaft doesn't have a hex end for your drill, meaning the minute the bit gets hung up on a rock or root it'll spin out in the drill chuck. You'll need a super-grip drill chuck, super-soft obstacle-free soil or else you'll need to modify this tool. Fortunately the shaft is made of a very soft steel that's easy to shape. Five minutes with a grinder and I made three flat sides for the three jaws of the drill to hold on to. That one little modification transformed this from a mostly useless tool to one that makes tunneling under a sidewalk a breeze. With that change, this was one effective little digger! I was able to tunnel under a sidewalk to run irrigation pipe with relative ease. There was one place where the progress slowed quite a bit but the I noticed the chunks of wood coming out of the hole - the drill was actually chewing through a root without much complaint. One suggestion: use this bit on a drill with an adjustable clutch. When it hits an obstacle the drill will spin right out of your grasp. Much better to set the clutch at a high setting (but not locked) so you when you get caught up on something it's the clutch that breaks and not your wrist... ... show more

BEST GARDEN TOOL IF U KNOW HOW TO USE IT!
Size: 30 inches
Got this for my green giants arborvitae fertilizer spikes. I was little skeptical at first after reading some of the reviews regarding how the auger gets bent, gets stuck and other common issues. For the first few holes (4-5), I had the same issue, it got stuck in the ground (illinois-clay soil), the drill had lots of difficulty getting it out (used an electric drill with extension cord)or the hole was not big enough for the fertilizer spike to go in. Then i finally figured it out, the best way to use it is the same way you would while drilling a hole in the wall, had to go slowly with you controlling the depth of the auger while it goes in. The key is to SLOWLY move the auger in the ground while the drill speed is medium to high, you might have to keep on drilling at the same depth before you go deep further in the ground, to give it some time to loosen the dirt around it. It means you have to CONTROL YOUR DIG BY NOT LETTING IT PUSH IN RATHER THAN PULL IT AWAY while it goes in slowly. Was able to get the rest of 35-40 spikes within an hour. no issues. Very pleased. ... show more

Good digger for the price
Size: 30 inches
I bought this to aerate my compost. I really wasn't expecting much, given the price. When I took it out of the box, I can't say I was overly impressed. It has a round shaft and I agree with the other reviewers who've noted that if they had squared off the top of the bit where it enters the drill it would sit more firmly in the chuck. The blades look a little flimsy and am a bit worried that they're only spot welded onto the shaft. Still, I put this isn't a DeWalt 20v Max Hammer Drill, set it on low speed and went to the composter. A few people have questioned whether a batter operated drill would provide sufficient torque. I suspect a weaker drill might have issues, but I had no problem churning my compost with the Dewalt and this digger. In fact, given that it's not really a heavy duty digger, I would worry that a low speed, high torque drill might be too much for it. As an experiment, I also went looking around the garden for some dried and packed soil to see how the digger would do and it performed well. It didn't bog down at all, though, since the blades don't go up very high, you will not be able to just dig down two feet. You'll need to pull the digger out, which sometimes required putting the drill in reverse, which resulted in the chuck loosening. When the digger does bog down, you'll find that the drill will twist pretty violently in your hand. No injuries to report, but I can see how a wrist could get strained if you're not careful. All in all, a very serviceable digger at a very good price. ... show more
