    • Make planting flowers so much easier!
Color: Black
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. It's a game-changer that will save you time and effort while producing fantastic results. ... 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

    • 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

    • Dig a lot of holes
Color: Black
I happened to use this to dig some holes for line markers this morning, I have used this for transplanting plants as well as making holes for new ones. It works very well and I am pleased with it. I use it with a Rigid drill that also has a sidearm for holding it in both hands while using it. I think this is necessary because the bit digs hard and fast and if it hits a rock or root it jerks the drill around against your wrists, and not one wrist if you use one with out a side arm. Just reverse the drill and it comes right out of the hole. I suspect that any of these bits would work the same way. It is surprising how rapidly you can dig holes with it and you can expand the size of holes by holding it at an angle to the main vertical hole. You will wear the paint off eventually but it doesn’t seem prone to rust. I do wash it and wipe it with oil after use and keep it in the box it came in. I definitely recommend this tool. It is so much easier than trowels and small shovels for digging even a few holes. ... show more
