I bought this product for planting bulbs, and it really speeds things up! It does drain the battery on my cordless drill very quickly though. We use (abuse) the roto-driller to help with our cement like soil . Break it up with roto-driller then dig! A good product.

I saw the "Awsome Auger Adds" on TV and was intrigued by the concept. Knowing that the Made for TV ads typically rip you off for shipping, handling and general extras, I read some reviews and discovered my fears to be true. So, I found this as a "well reviewed" alternative. It is reasonably priced, shipping was very little, and it works. Seems well made too. Only thing is that in loose dirt, the dirt tends to fall back into the hole. It is certainly a labor saver for bulbs, annuals or just loosening up flower beds. I even use it to till fertilizer down into beds and large pots.

This is worth every penny I paid for it, just using it one day. It is a back saver, a time saver. Just be careful if you hit roots,it could hurt you.
