TCBWFY Auger Drill Bit for Planting 1.6x16.5inch Extended Length Garden Auger Spiral Drill Bit for Planting Bulbs Flowers,Post Hole Digger for 3/8”Hex Drill

go slow with this, and if you have hard red clay dirt like I do, it is so much easier to wet your dirt down for 3-5 min before you use this tool. I bought it to dig four holes to put down a small fence with and it will help a whole lot with that. I used a Hypertough 8 volt drill with it and it worked, but a more powerful one would make the job a lot faster. With the auger, DO NOT start out with it at FULL speed, I started out with my finger pressed down about halfway and it on the "drill" setting as well. I do not recommend using the numbered chuck settings, as it can cause the bit to vibrate out of the drill. I measured out the depth that I needed my auger to go down to and put a piece of duct tape on the stopping point as well. so far, for a reasonably priced tool, I am pleased. To get it out of a jam, just simply reverse your eletric drill/ screwdriver and slowly bring the auger back up.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this product because of the great reviews and I was very impressed with the ability to use to make holes for my fence post.

The very first time I tried this it immediately worked its way off the drill. I tried again, and again, and each time it did the same. I’m glad I kept at it because once the paint on the connector finally wore off it worked just fine. I don’t know whose idea it was to put paint over the end that goes into the drill, but that added just enough flexibility for it to easy work itself loose and fall off. Don’t give up. It’ll work.

Worked great with a portable drill and in rooty soil. Must use a tight grip to avoid bruises. My drill was a smallB & D with a 3/8 chuck.

This auger drill bit is a total game changer for planting! It attached easily to my drill and worked like a charm. I was able to get started right away, and it made digging holes so much faster and more efficient than using a hand trowel.Whether you're planting bulbs, small plants, or even just loosening up soil, this thing powers through with ease. Highly recommend for any gardener looking to save time and energy!

I've been planting with this thing for months now and haven't had a single problem. It's perfect for small plants in a row and I use it for small trees sometimes. I've gotten pretty rough with it and not a single issue. I'm impressed.

This product did not work in a standard drill. I thankfully had a paddle mixer on hand for mixing mortar and concrete. It worked better in that, but still not great.

Ok! So I live in Arizona where the ground is hard as a rock! I have a bunch of things I wanted put in the ground (stick lights or decorative things). I asked my husband to dig a little hole so I can get them put in. After the first one, he was over it and didn’t want to do anymore. (I still had like 20 more things I needed other holes dug for). He actually thought he was off the hook! But yay me for finding this gadget and it just arriving in the mail! Surprise! Now I got him back out in the yard getting my holes dug! No excuses in this house! :) 10/10 excellent product!
