| | Review: not making life as easy as I'd hoped
| | First, unless your soil is already soft, you WILL need an 18 volt drill (if you're cordless) to get any use out of this. In soft, 'prepped' soil it was terrific. For anything even slightly less than perfect, it tended to skitter a lot. Also, it would really help if the curved metal started closer to the tip, because even when you've got the auger buried you end up with a shallow hole as so much of the length and the "effort" of the hole were lost to the tip. As others have noted, the round shank made the bit slip quite often especially in heavier clay. I'll continue to use this one but won't buy it again. |

| | Review: Planting Auger
| | Very good tool. It expedited the planting process. It did the job except in compacted soil where it bogged down a little. |

| | Review: Works great and Saves Money
| I bought this for less than what I had been spending to rent a tiller each year. Now I can use this for years to come and it's already paid for. I've done my planting for this year and this little gem works great. It plows right into the ground without any trouble. I have even cut directly into the sod a couple of times just to see how it would handle it. It is sturdily built. I recommend a heavy duty drill if you are going to use it much, because a lightweight drill will overheat fairly quickly (but at no fault of this product). The one drawback to this product is the shaft is round where it inserts into the drill chuck, which means you really have to torque it down to prevent slippage. If this product had a hex head at the top for a better drill bite, I would give it five stars without question.

| | Review: A Great Auger
| | I purchased one of these 5 years ago and found it to be excellent. I have planted several thousand bulbs with this. So I am excited to once again find this auger. Looks like I'll be planting a few more thousand bulbs now! |

| | Review: works fine
| I bought this auger and use it in heavy clay. I won't call it 'soil' because in Portland, Oregon, it's just clay. ;-)
The one issue is the auger has no bevels for the drill to sit on, so it's just a round shaft, which tends to slip unless you can really tighten the drill onto the shaft. My electric drill (cordless drills don't work for this in heavy clay) has only a hand tightenable chuck; no chuck key, so it's difficult to tighten enough in the hard, heavy stuff I'm trying to drill through.
But sturdy enough for the job even down a couple of feet into the ground. |
