Auger Drill Bit for Planting 1.6"(D) x16.5(L), Garden Ground Earth Spiral Drill Bit for 3/8" Hex Drive Drill, for Post Hole Digger Bulb Bedding Digging Plant Rapid Planter

This auger fit my drill perfectly as described and helped me dig into my hard clay with ease. It is strong and well made. It increased my planting speed exponentially!

I needed to create a bunch of planting holes in a steep slope along my driveway. The soil is glacial till, meaning hard-packed clay, roots and many rocks. The holes went from 3" for ground cover plugs up to 8-10" for planting catmint. With no room to work a clamshell or shovel, this auger worked great. Plug holes were done in 1 pass, the big holes took multiple holes joined together by twisting the bit sideways. Drill used was a Ryobi geared 3-speed 18v. The key was to dial down the torque clutch to 20 so that if something stuck, it would slip rather than break anything (auger, shaft, my wrist)Despite all the digging, catching clay nodules, rocks, roots, and side cutting, the auger is in great shape. There is some paint worn off the chisel tip and leading edge of the spiral, but nothing bent, no dings, dents or bends from spiraling the bit to dig sideways.A great, tough tool! Next workout will be planting hundreds of bulbs this fall.

This little auger worked great for planting bulbs. It attached easily to my battery-operated drill. I was skeptical because of the low price, but it did the job perfectly. I will use this for many years to come. I highly recommend this auger attachment.

Works. A handy item for gardners. Good value.

Strong and works fast. Right fit easy to use

Well made. Sturdy. Bought to plant flower bulbs. Works perfectly.

Gave it as a gift - recipient is pleased and looking forward to using it.

I used this in my 18-volt cordless drill to make holes for tree seedlings, and it works great. I actually had to learn how to use it properly because at first it would dig down and stay down. Once I realized that you need to move it up and down constantly as you drill so that the dirt comes out right away, it became quite easy to use. And I live where there's red clay soil, which is fairly dense, and this still worked well.
