Tool was used to drill hole along my Shrubs line to insert fertilizer sticks.

Works great, definitely easier to plant with it. I like the width for standard 4 inch pots or anything with that diameter. I would recommend a smaller one for plugs, which is almost obvious.

I’m a senior and I need to use a garden bench to do my planting and garden cleanup, so I found this product and I sit on the bench with that attach to my cordless drill and in 30 seconds I have a whole big enough to plant my new one gallon garden plants, if you need a bigger hole, just do another one beside it and the two holes become one. Worth every penny. I’m going to buy a longer one to use to turn my compost barrel, drill down and pull out and it will turn the compost and aerate it while turning it over, all in one motion.

I used this on a Makita 1/2-inch cordless drill. My soil is very rocky, and I was surprised how quickly the auger penetrated the ground and dug a hole suitable for planting a flower bulb. BUT when hitting a larger rock (maybe 3 inches, something too big for the auger to move), the drill is torqued violently and gives a hard twist to the wrist. After this happened a couple of times I went back to digging by hand.I think this would work well in a well-prepared flower bed, but not for a newly cleared area.

Cursory review of product when received was that both augers were well built and solid with solid centre shaft and double helix blade. Used the 3” auger for first time yesterday and it performed perfectly for purpose intended. I would caution users that you need to be careful with the drill speed (ie. RPMs used) as kickback is possible if foreign objects (ie. stones, roots, etc) are encountered while drilling which could result in personal wrist injury if not attentive.Would recommend using corded drills (vs battery powered) to provide for consistent speed.

I ordered this on a whim as we grow peppers in cloth bags, and needed to dig many holes for planting outside. This worked extremely well, and we'll definitely keep using it. It's sturdy, the right size, and basically foolproof to use.

They is an awesome tool. We do commercial gardening and plant thousands of flowers and bulbs every year. This helps to break up soil and make the planting so much faster. Just go slow and let the drill do the work. If the ground is clay or full of roots its not so good, it will twist your wrist. Put the drill in reverse and go slow to remove. Then use a shovel or other digging or cutting tool. We use the long and short auger tools.

This was purchased to put in termite bait stations around house. You do need to have a drill of at least 20v to handle power needed to drill down about 6 inches. Look out for small tree roots as you will get hung on them and need to clip them off to continue drilling to proper depth. As long as you go easy it will work fine.

We live in the south and red clay is EVERY WHERE! When we plant something the spade is the tool of choice and even it small size still manages to unearth large clumps of red clay!!! With this Auger I can use my battery drill and dig a hole for my plant with ease! Instead of the large clumps it will grind it up and make the process soooooo much better! It is made of tough material and I have had no problems in my nursery. I also use it to stir my compost too. Stirring the compost is harder as I've gotten older. I use to use the pitch fork to turn it but the auger makes it much easier! Just stir it in a minute or so. We use so much compost in our nursery! Would recommend this to anyone!

I used this to drill 3" post holes for 2" x 4" posts for a garden fence. This drills holes quite well. Rocks can be a problem. I also used a long 1/2" drill separately to dislodge rocks and provide a center guide hole for this auger. Once I got past the rocky soil into clay, drilling went much faster. It was much easier than using a post hole digger. Keeping the holes small resulted in sturdier posts. Back-filled the small leftover spaces with cement.

We had to plant about 75 half gallon plants, plus another dozen 1 or 2 gallon plants, in our back yard, and my wife figured we would be quicker with one of these augers. This one is the largest I could find far a hand drill ( 3 inches in diameter and 24 inches long), and looked like the heaviest duty, both by the pictures and the reviews, so we bought one.I was pleased when it arrived because it looked well made, the helix fitting the shaft well, even though there was only a half inch spot weld once per rotation of the helix.However, when you try to put it in action...Your chuck needs to really be tightened down on the hex shaft, and even though I have a massive 36volt DeWalt drill, you need really strong hand strength to make this happen to begin, and then re-tighten several times along the way.Next, when you try to drill a hole, you discover that the tip is a cone, with no edges like a drill bit, so the cone gets in the way of the auger's helix from hitting the dirt and digging in. I was working on medium firm soil and more often than not, could not push the unit into the soil to get going.My solution was to get an old 1 inch auger bit out, 18 inches long, and use that to pre-drill a hole for the 3 inch auger to start with. That worked fine. However, we have a medium amount of rocks in our soil, maybe 0.5 to 1.5 inch diameter, and when you hit those, the drill stops violently, so you better be hanging on with 2 hands, or you will sprain your wrist instantly. I used the 3 inch auger for about 30 plants, and wear on the auger was immense. About a half inch of metal wore off the edge of the bottom of the helix (diameter now about 2 inches at the tip), plus the hex shaft that the drill's chuck grabbed on to was now twisted into a helix itself. Also, when hitting an embedded rock, the point where the hex shaft for the chuck met the main 1 inch shaft of the auger bent, so now the end of the auger rotated in maybe a 9 inch arc if you ran it in the drill. I found that I could carefully bend it back, almost straight again, but it bent easier in further drilling. (btw, the helix never bent, nor did the half inch tack welds suffer any damage whatsoever).How did I get the job done? I switched to my 20volt DeWalt with the beat up 1 inch diameter by 18 inch long auger bit (formerly for wood). I drilled into the dirt maybe 6 inches, then rotated the drill in a cone shape to soften up the dirt, and scooped it out with a garden hand shovel. For wider holes, I drilled several in a pattern like a 5-spot on a dice. Worked great, and the smaller diameter solid steel auger bit was able to loosen rocks and push them out of the way easily, most of the time.I did get my use out of the 3 inch auger, so I won't return it, but I found my solution in the 1 inch auger that I already had.

This 3” Auger drill bit works great. Set out 10 shrubs in GA red clay in less than 30 minutes. Only have used it the one time but so far I love it. You can orbit you arms around as you drill to depth and get 6” + diameter hole if you need it. Dirt is pulverized too. I set out 7 Leyland Cypress back last summer. Took over 6 hours for me with with a shovel. Now with me being 62 years old this thing is a life saver. Highly recommend and money well spent.
