Power Planter DIY Guru Garden Auger- 3"x12" Drill Bit Hole Digger for Post Hole Diggers, Bulb Planter Tool- Auger Drill for Planting- Garden Digging Tool- 3/8" Non-Slip Hex Drive (Blue)

The best digging and gardening product I have purchased. Holes for fence post; holes for small trees, you name it. This product was suggested on Consumer Reports so I thought I would give it a try for my outdoor work and it is awesome. I recommend it to anyone that may have a yard full of clay. It will drill right through the clay...give it a try.

Quality product. Heavy gage metal can even with a few stones in it. It will "wander" a bit if it hits something hard but that is to be expected

This was amazing!! I had to dig extra holes for more support for my house I’m building. The holes that needed to be dug were under the frame and not easy to get to. I tried to hand dig and it took me a whole day to get half a hole dug. I needed to find something so I kept trying to think of a way to dig and then it hit me!!! So I researched and found this auger. Was a bit hesitant that it could get through my hard Georgia soil. Well it did and saved me days of struggle and hard work. My holes we dug pretty quick for having to dig 20 inches down. So happy!!!

Used product for 50-60 holes in clay and rocky soil with 3/8 Dewalt electric drill motor. Soil had been prepped with plowing and tilling the prior year. Drill got hot even with multiple stops to clean out the hole or obstruction. The drill was used at about 1/4 to 1/3 speed. The Power Auger is very sturdy and shows very little wear The auger is easy to use but not what I needed for my large scale project.

I purchased this to dig dozens of holes in garden beds that had become heavily rooted from weeds and nearby trees. A hand trowel and even a full sized shovel were not cutting it (literally). This auger bit on my 20v drill turned an arduous job into a quick and easy task. If it became stuck on a particularly tough root then it was easy enough to reverse the drill to pull the bit out and try again. I also found it very useful for loosening and mixing potting soil.

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.

I am a geologist, so this auger was excellent. I tried both a battery-powered drill and a 110-volt drill. Both work OK, but if 110-volts is available, then use a power extension cord. The 110-volt drill has better torque. I was pleased to learn that the soil auger also works in a horizontal position. Was able to shear the hard clayey soil and loosen it up. Previously, I used an 8-inch deep auger, but now realize that the 12-inch deep auger is far better and more versatile. This auger helped to drill a garden hole about two feet wide and two feet diameter. That hard clayey soil was excavated by a soil-scoop, then discarded. The new soil was pea-gravel at the base, then organic potting soil mixed with coarse clean sand. The extra-large hole is then backfilled with the new soil, and the future roots will extend downward where the residual moisture is located. The hexagonal shaft fits into the 3-jaw drill chuck, so there is no slippage while digging into hard soil. This soil auger is strongly recommended. It saves back-breaking work with a shovel and trowel.

Excellent for loosening and removing hard clay. I live in an area that has clay beneath the topsoil and when digging holes to plant shrubs, etc., you reach clay withing approximately 5 inches of depth. This auger drill bit is extremely effective in penetrating the clay so you can reach the depth required for planting. The auger bit is made of very strong metal and is as effective as the torque in your drill. The amount of torque or setting on your drill is important. If your drill can handle it, this auger bit can definitely do the job.

I am an advocate for the right tool for the job makes for an easy and professional finish to a task. What a pleasure to use this tool. It makes turning the flower beds so easy. Instead of just scraping the surface and ending up in agony with back, wrist and shoulder pain added to hand blisters after an all day session, using the Power Planter 312 has shortened the task to a few hours and I now have soil well tilled to a depth of about a foot. Digging a hole to plant a rose bush took 2 minutes, the 1st minute to dig the hole and the rest of the time to remove the soil and plant the bush. Better still, no blood sweat or tears. Fantastic tool. My only regret is that the information about this tool didn't cross my path earlier.

hält was es verspricht, aber bei harter erde brauchts ein bisschen muskeln und einen starken akku bohrer :)

Amazing tool!No avid gardener should be without it!Planted 400 bulbs in record time.I tell everyone I can about your power planter,and direct them to you! Thanks for this. Kerry Hazenboom,Summerland,B.C.

must have for bulb planting

This is absolutely flipping amazing!! I can’t do it enough justice! I’m just on the last run of planting 3500 bulbs for a job and without this i would’ve been in some major bulb planting financial disaster! With this I can dig a 300mm deep hole in seconds (for alliums in case your wondering what would require such a deep hole!) and it’s big enough to put my whole hand and bulb down into the hole to plant it the right way up and settle it into position. I have even turned over and fluffed up whole planting flower beds, nothing more than a couple of m2 yet but it is incredible! One moment a compacted bit of soil then seconds later it’s super fluffed and soft and ready to plant.. if you’re at all interested you should definitely buy one, you can’t help but be impressed!
