Questions & Answers
I'm a little late to the party, but I used an 18V cordless drill for 10 holes in slightly sandy soil and it worked great. For hard/clay soil, a corded drill is probably better, but don't put too much pressure on the drill bit, as it may break. If you run into a rock or a hard spot, reverse the drill, back out, and slowly go back in until the rock or hard spot breaks up.
Until it smacks you in the face with a rock or a root and kills you!
Hex- ish. Mine is shaped like a sphere with flat sections for the drill to grip.
I'm not sure if it'll fit in your hammer drill, and it doesn't come with any attachments, but it works perfectly in both my cordless drills and my corded screw gun. I absolutely adore it; it is without a doubt one of the best purchases I have ever made.

I'm not concerned about the relatively weak metal used in the construction of this auger because it wasn't particularly expensive. Fortunately, the weak-willed are outnumbered by the strong-willed There have been no breaks in the auger/twist portion of this bit due to the ish metal. However, if you're not careful, you'll eventually strip the metal inside the drill chuck to the point where it breaks off or needs to be broken off. Fortunately, I rarely drill any further than the twisted section, so I simply break off the stripped metal and reinstall the bit in my drill. After that, all I have to do is bend over all the time. To use the auger, you'll need to pay a little more. Another thing to be aware of is if the auger binds on you after hitting a rock or other hard object. If that happens, expect the drill to try to rip your wrist off. I've discovered that keeping the drill handle close to my body saves my wrist, but it results in massive bruises on my thigh. Choose a poisonous plant.
This was purchased for the purpose of planting tree fertilizer spikes. The spikes should be hammered into the ground, then buried another 2 inches below the surface, according to the instructions. That's a real pain in the backside. Plus, if you're as good with tools as I am, you can break the fertilizer spikes or your thumb. This Roto planter is quick and easy to use. Put it in the drill, Zip (it creates a hole in seconds) and drop the spike in, then kick the dirt back into the hole. My knees are weak and I have a low-cost drill. It appeals to me. I haven't yet come across a root, but I'll move one way or the other to avoid it. There's no need for rocket science in this case. This will, without a doubt, be ideal for bulb planting. It is also capable of working/loosening the soil.
Alternatively, you could create a compost bin from scratch. This tool is ideal for digging quick planting holes. If you expect this to cut through roots, you'll be disappointed. Purchase a gas post hole digger and hold on tight! This was well worth the money, and it will last a long time; however, keep in mind that it is not a drill bit. Gardening has become a lot easier as a result of this. This review was not compensated in any way.
I'm completely reliant on my 20v Dewaltdriver, which takes less than 2 minutes and requires no strength. I used to try to avoid turning the pile because it was exhausting. Not only is my pile heating up and shrinking into compost, but it is also overflowing the bin.
It's incredible. I was sick of turning my comost pile with a pitch fork by hand. I needed to come up with a different approach. I was just looking for garden tools at random when I came across this back saver. Instead of turning my pile by hand, I can now connect it to my drill and plunge it 24 inches into it to thoroughly mix and aerate it. What a great find.
WOW! What a time saver this is. I decided to order this auger after struggling with the old trowel planting method. My keyless chuck cordless drill didn't work after I tried it. In the chuck, the auger was spinning. As a result, I filed two flat sides on the shaft, as suggested by others. In addition, I used a key chuck on my corded drill. PERFECT! I was able to achieve a snug fit using the key. It's likely that the flat sides aided in the process. I drilled 10 holes for planting bulbs in about 15 minutes after I finished all the preliminary work. The shaft, which should have two or three flat sides, is the only reason for not giving it five stars.
It's a multi-step process to blow up stumps, but I couldn't do it without one of these augers. I use it to drill 2 ft deep holes in the dirt near the bases of stumps so that I can fit a 2" PVC pipe full of Tannerite-like reactive target material, which is perfect for creating a large space under the stump to then put even more Tannerite. br>br>I deducted one star because the shaft strips and slips easily in the drill chuck due to its roundness; however, I may use my welding machine and forge to make a crude hex shaft end so that my drill grips it better.
I wanted to dig some deep holes next to the fruit trees so that nutrients and water could be delivered deep into the soil. This makes the job very simple, about a two-minute job. You must keep moving up and down to avoid getting stuck in the new dirt it has dug up.
