Hound Dog Products Planting Auger #HDP9-6

I couldn't believe I wouldn't get some usefulness from my newly purchased Hound Dog auger, as the areas i wished to plant are recently tilled and planted (I am putting in end-of-summer replacement color), and found this auger stalled out before cutting through hair-fine roots near the surface. Arrrrgh. The wrenching of my wrist when the auger froze my 18v drill was worse then if I had dug the hole by hand. I tried different speeds, and practiced in different soils around the garden to no good effect. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ITEM!!!!! I wish I'd read the previous review before my purchase, and can only OSH will reimburse me when they see the length of the register tape upon which this item was purchasedl

5.0 out of 5 stars Great time- and back-saver, September 18, 2011

I agree with pittuk's previous review. The Hound Dog auger that I bought last year turned the two-day chore of planting our tulips into a three-hour task with virtually no stooping (except when a bulb landed in the hole wrong end up).

The previous reviewer simply could not have had a recently tilled planting bed, or it was very poorly tilled! I've used both sizes of planting augers for over 10 yrs. and love them. The only time they stall out is when the soil has way too many surface or deeper roots. I use a Craftsman Professional grade drill. It's the only way to plant!
