Auger Drill Bit for Planting 3 Pack with Extension - 3/8'' Hex Drive Drill

Effective. Beware- brace your stance hard while using these. You can literally break your arm/wrist if you're not paying attention, and hit a rock. Trust.

Had considered buying a gas powered auger but I saw this set of drill augers and it proved to be just what I needed. Used them to drill holes for posts to create an arbor for grapes. I can see it will also be helpful for drilling holes for plants and small trees. I attached it to my electric powered drill and it easily dug through hard packed dirt and some clay which contained small rocks and other minor impediments. Be careful around tree roots though as it can get caught around them and not pull back out easily. I'm 6' + so the extension worked perfectly and helped me avoid bending down too far.

Works just fine .

I was actually using this to dig 3 ft deep holes for posts. The huge $500 gas powered auger I rented couldn't cut it, it would hit a rock and bend out of my hands. But this little adapter was able to go around rocks and loosen the soil for removal! Honestly, I cannot believe how good this thing worked! I really went hard in the paint with it too - digging holes in a variety of terrible soils with rocks and roots - you name it! I truly put this auger to the test, and it did not Bend or break. It's also an incredible value for the money. I'll probably be buying another one just for safe keeping! If you're planning on using this just for planting, it will absolutely make planting easier. 12/10 WILL use again!

This product does a really good job! It cuts through roots and rocks with ease.

I enjoy using this set, although as of late I have a lot of failures with it, the three different sizes have been narrowed to one, as the shafts of the smallest and medium size both snapped where the hole was drilled to allow for securement to the extension/shaft that connects to the drill. Originally I thought I was being to aggressive with the drill/dirt was to hard, etc. However now I believe that the strength of the metal leaves much to be desired. Once in use, the auger works great, I really enjoy the ability to quickly place a hole and then drop a plant in it. But as it is now, I only have one size and that is commonly too big, but I still use it and the other two augers, albeit I have to have the smaller auger pieces so close to the drill, I am literally laying on the ground to use them. Again, when they work, they are a real time saver, when broken, they're a real pain in the rear

This worked really well for planting tree seedlings. Held up well made the job much easier

This has worked great!! Very pleased with the purchase.
