Our garden drill bit auger's effective design can help you speed up your outdoor planting time much more efficiently than a traditional post-hole digger.
  • MULTIFACETED TOOL: Our specially designed auger drill bit is perfect for various home projects, municipalities, theme parks, playgrounds, and the like. Use our drill attachment to mix paint, fertilizer, or mortar. You can also use it as a shovel alternative or garden auger drill bit for planting anything from small vegetables to larger shrubs by reaming out the hole. Our drill is also a great alternative to your gardening hand bulb planter.
  • IDEAL FOR ANY SOIL TYPE: Our patent-pending ground-hole auger bit is effective for drilling into dirt, clay, rocky soil, and sand. This flexible drill bit has been designed to leave a small amount of loose soil in the bottom of a hole to help a new plant start growing and reduce transplant shock.

This drill bit auger for planting is perfect for property owners, DIYers, gardeners, and people who love working in the garden or yard.

The media could not be loaded. I am thrilled with the Power Planter DIY Guru Garden Auger! This 3"x12" drill bit hole digger has revolutionized the way I tackle gardening tasks. If you're a gardener or landscaper, this tool is an absolute must-have. First and foremost, let's talk about efficiency. This auger makes digging holes an absolute breeze. Whether I'm planting bulbs, installing fence posts, or creating holes for shrubs, the Power Planter gets the job done in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional methods. The 3-inch diameter is perfect for a wide range of tasks. It effortlessly cuts through soil, even in tough or compacted areas. The depth of 12 inches is ideal for most planting needs, providing ample room for roots to grow and thrive. One of the standout features is the 3/8" non-slip hex drive. This ensures a secure connection to my drill, giving me confidence that the auger will stay in place during use. The hex drive design is also excellent for preventing slipping, even in dense or rocky soil. The build quality of the Power Planter is outstanding. It's sturdy and durable, built to withstand the rigors of regular use in the garden. The construction is solid, and the auger bit is sharp and efficient, making quick work of any digging task. Additionally, the versatility of this tool is impressive. Not only is it great for digging holes, but it also serves as a fantastic bulb planter. I've used it to effortlessly create perfect holes for bulbs, ensuring they're planted at the ideal depth for optimal growth. In conclusion, the Power Planter DIY Guru Garden Auger is a gardener's best friend. It's efficient, versatile, and built to last. If you're tired of back-breaking manual digging or want to speed up your planting process, I highly recommend adding this auger to your gardening arsenal.

    • Sturdy... works like a charm!

Review Image by Sweet Lady Gem Sweet Lady Gem
I bought this auger bit to drill holes for posts for a bird netting cage. I used an electric drill for my first attempt last week. The auger performed beautifully, but the drill was a little rough on my arthritic hands, even on a low speed. Today I attached the bit to a hand drill, and drilled the hole in about the same amount of time. Much easier to control. The bit is strong and sturdy and dug through the soil beautifully. It might seem expensive, but it's put together to last and well worth every penny. One caution. Make sure you wash and dry the bit after you use it. I let it air dry in my slightly damp basement, and it had a little bit of surface rust where the finish had worn off an edge. Definitely a good tool to have around the yard. ... show more

    • rocky ground
Color: Black
so far i have used it successfully to dig up some holes in the ground, I have many roots and small rocks in the ground and this auger bit is doing a great job. the power drill I am using with it, is a Hilti one. the strongest and most expensive drills out there so I don't sure how this bit will work with the regular drills people are using but with low speed and small pats on the trigger there were zero problems digging up the ground. i am planing to search for a smaller diameter bit of a same kind ... show more

    • It works on hard soil, but you have to work, too!
Color: Black
Bottom line: get this auger bit ...it works well, but be prepared if you've got hard ground. I have very hard soil (in SoCal, suburb of Los Angeles) where my hill was dry, dirt compacted tough, and seemingly all the soil in my valley is heavy with minerals. Factor in our low annual rainfall and you have seriously hard soil here (if it has not been worked/tilled beforehand). I had to get 12" diam x 12" deep holes for rose bushes into this hard dirt, and on a hill which made it even more difficult for me. I was skeptical because of my terrain, but this auger bit worked. I had to go slow, (slow drill speed as well not too much downward pressure), and it bit into the ground slowly, but surely. And with particularly hard ground as I have, go in at angles so the bit doesn't have to bite squarely into the ground, which helps it chomp little by little, which makes your progress much better. My particular case was stubborn, took lots of muscling, sweat, and time, but it worked! BTW, I was also using a regular ol' Ryobi 18v brushless drill which worked like a champ under quite a bit of continuous use, and though each battery did last a good long time, I still had to replace it because my stinkin ground was so tough! I highly recommend you check the chuck every few minutes, use slow speed, and adjust the clutch carefully for your comfort and safety. This clutch thing is important because if you've got a drill with good torque (this Ryobi does), and the bit catches and stops, that drill will torque your wrists which will hurt you if you're not ready for it. I do have strong hands/arms but still decided to use the clutch (set tight with just a bit of release) simply to avoid tweaking my wrists. My only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I wish the tip of the bit were sharper to facilitate "bite" into hard earth. OK, so all that was for brutally tough ground. I tried this auger bit on tilled soil and it is perfect ...no issue whatsoever; you'll breeze through it so for soft-medium hard dirt, I'd give this bit a 5 for sure. ... show more
