  • It is a great tool for its purposes
Style: Auger (18 x 1.25)
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

  • Excellent for what it is...
Style: Digger (30 x 1.75)
When I bought this it was $17. This is not a $50 or $150 dollar tool, and I set my expectations accordingly. It worked very well for me. So far I have 3 holes drilled that are 24" deep in some terrible dirt. I'm hoping to get another 8-10 holes done, but even if not, this thing has already paid for itself. A few tips for using this effectively: 1. Go slowly. This is a huge drill bit for a household drill and it puts a lot of stress on the drill and you. Ease it in, don't lean on it, and back it out every couple of inches to ensure it's clearing debris out of the hole. I set my drill to the slower speed and then turned it very slowly. It's not a race and you're not drilling a 1/4" hole through a 2x4. Give it a chance to work and move the dirt. 2. Try to keep the sides of the hole straight. I let it wobble around on my first hole so the inside of it was lager than the bit. It can't move the dirt out if the hole is too wide. Slow and some care are require to keep the sides straight. 3. Gravel is a real pain. I have 1/2" to 2" gravel buried all over my yard. I had to abandon some holes when I hit a larger rock. You can you 1" gravel up, but you need to ensure it dislodges it. I let it "bite" into the dirt around the gravel and then pulled up on the drill gently. Then I slowly pulled out the bit while rotating it to get the gravel out. You can't expect it to to just fling out big pieces of rock. My trees are going to be so much happier that I can get them some deeper watering. Plenty of other uses for this as well. ... show more

  • It works
Style: Auger (18 x 1.25)
I bought this to drill holes in the ground to put up my parasol. For this purpose it does the job very well. As for its sturdiness, I am wondering, if the welding is durable enough: there are only three points of welding that attaches the spiral--top middle and bottom. I am hoping it is strong enough to last a long time. As far as function is concerned, it does the job very well. The diameter is 1.25 inches, so it keeps the pole steady. My other auger is 1.5 inches in diameter, and it is just too wide to hold the pole steady. ... show more

  • It worked and survived!
Style: Digger (30 x 1.75)
The auger appeared to be light duty for getting under a 4' wide walkway. I was really worried about hitting a rock and the auger would break. However, as soon as the auger hit a rock it got stuck and the drill continued to spin. Some of the metal got stripped. I worked the auger back and forth a few times, and it got passed the obstacle. Since the walkway is wider than the auger's length, I had to work the auger from both sides. Again, I worked it back and forth until the hole was all the way through. I also had to work close to a water sprinkler line on both ends of the walkway. Once the hole was completely through, I had no troubles pushing through a 3/4" electrical pvc pipe. Other than the slightly stripped end of the auger, it survived and did the job. ... show more

  • A good tool with a significant design flaw.
Style: Digger (30 x 1.75)
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!
Style: Digger (30 x 1.75)
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
