Product Description
YOU MUST SUPPLY YOUR OWN DRILL TO POWER THIS GARDEN AUGER. This bulb auger fits 3/8'' drills and larger, and any corded drill will provide plenty of power for the garden auger. If using a cordless drill to power this garden auger, we recommend using Milwaukee or DeWalt brand.
Sturdier 3/8'' cold rolled steel shaft features three flats on the end, allowing you to really tighten up your drill chuck and prevent spinning and slipping.
IMPORTANT- please read
This auger will NOT work if your drill is in reverse. If your auger seems to spin on top of the ground and not dig in, check to see if your drill is in reverse.
Check closely when tightening up the drill chuck on the auger. Make sure to match the flats of the drill chuck to the flats on the auger shaft. If you chuck up on the round part of the shaft, the auger could slip or spin in the drill chuck.
Operate your drill in the lowest gear setting possible. Always wear safety glasses and use two hands when operating the drill. Do not pry with the auger. Keep it straight up and down when using it to drill in soil.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Makes planting easier and incredibly quick,
This review is from: Garden Auger Bulb Planter 2.75" x 24" Regular Duty
I wish we'd discovered this years ago. After a home-renovation-from-hell, we not only have some major re-landscaping to do, we have to do it all ourselves because we have no more money. I'd read mixed reviews on augers on Amazon and other sites and purchased this the Garden Auger because it seemed pretty sturdy and at 24" is longer than many others (don't have to bend so far). We were not disappointed. We planted 300 bareroot plants in less than an hour. My husband drilled the holes and I came behind him, planted and covered. It worked just as well in a newly prepared bed as it did when we spot drilled in an existing bed. In fact, it seemed to do even better in soil that wasn't as aerated.
It takes a little bit to get used to drilling and I had to use two hands so the torque didn't twist the drill in my hand. But, it's something that you get used to. I knew it would make quick work of the planting, I just didn't think it would be this quick. We're watching our budget very closely but this was well worth the cost. Love it! Can't wait to use it to plant bulbs in the fall.

Super auger. I am a Machinist/Tool Maker and I find this auger to be the best of any that I have looked at. I have used it for fence posts, bulbs, small seedlings and aerating our compost piles.
UPDATE 6/2011: Still going strong after a year of use. I still stand by my review and have not seen another as good.

to use this every day at work. Find it hard to believe that it works that well for that price. Glad I have a extra battery for my drill, and a high torque setting.
