Power Planter 307PNK 3 x 7 in. Bulb Planting Auger & Bedding Plant Tool Pink

I received the product earlier than expected, packed very well in a nice box. Instructions are included and I think it is very important to review them as it is more safety information than 'how to'. I grabbed up my drill after reading instructions and headed to some trouble spots in my yard. I live in Central Florida so rocks are not usually a problem. However, sometimes the yard can develop hard spots where the grass will not fill in and the surface is extremely hard, almost like clay. If it is a large area, you can go at with picks, shovels or whatever, but most of the areas I needed to tackle were 4-6 inch circular areas. This is just perfect for those areas! I had all that needed to be done within 45 minutes. I've always been reluctant to plant bulbs and I already know that this is going to be perfect for that task. When you have arthritic hands as I do, with very diminishing strength, it is a joy to find something that will allow me to continue to do the things that bring me satisfaction. This tool is so very well made, impressive weight which helps break through tough top soil. The overall length is perfect, keeps me from going too far below the surface. The blade pitch is perfect, it lifts without throwing dirt everywhere. This would make a great gift for your gardening friends (as long as they have a variable speed drill). I can't believe I can't find anything I don't like about this tool. HIGHLY recommend.

My son is not a fan of bulbs - probably because I tend to get way too many every fall, end up begging him to help me plant them all. The Power Planter is a game changer - he had so much fun digging holes, he asked why we didn't have more! We've tried augers before, and they were worse than just digging. This one is different - it was sturdy and worked perfectly. Fast and easy! I wish we'd had one years ago!

I ordered the Power Planter for use in my vegetable garden. It arrived on time, well packed and in perfect condition. The first thing that got my attention was how hefty and solid the unit was...the craftsmanship was very nice as well. I used a 1/2 inch cordless drill with a drill bit extension to plant potted vegetables. The larges pot was about 19-20 oz. The unit worked as described. You need to keep a very good grip on the drill in case the Power Planter binds on a rock or root. By moving the drill back and forth while moving the planter up and own in the hole, I was able to make holes for plants that were significantly larger than 3 inches in diameter. Before the Power Planter, I had to fight the clay in the garden with a small hand shovel...difficult and time-consuming. The Power Planter is very fast and far easier. I am very satisfied with this product. The extra money I spent was well worth it for a quality product made in the USA and I highly recommend it.

This item cut my flower planting by at least one-half. However, I used my Black & Decker cordless drill the first time and it stalled out when the auger hit packed soil. I switched to my more powerful DeWalt cordless the second time and because it had the power and the setting required the auger worked beautifully. As the instructions warn, if you are not careful it can get away from you very quickly. I would recommend this to any weekend warrior gardner because it is quick, it makes the hole exactly where you want it and it actually mulches up the soil a bit so when you put the plant into the hole you have nice soil to pack it down.

I used this tool to drill holes for my plants going in the garden. I don't till the ground, but rather just dig holes where I want to place seeds or starts and add soil amendments-compost, manure, perlite, worm castings, etc.. This tool sure saved my arm, elbow and wrist from have to use a small hand shovel to dig the holes. I just had to keep plenty of batteries charged for my drill. I drilled probably 400+ holes. I like the pink color cause it makes me smile, but it does wear off the blade edges pretty quickly, as to be expected when drilling into the ground, I guess.

I purchased this product to plant bulbs in my yard. After working with a shovel in the spring and finding out , very painfully, that my hips are bone-on-bone, I needed something that would allow me to continue to garden, but not put so much pressure on my hips.This worked very well for digging shallow trenches for my flowers. I did use a fairly large electric drill with the side handle for more control. I did have to re-tighten the bit every few minutes of use, but that could have been user error 😉. The soil was damp, not wet. I am looking forward to using this in the spring when I transplant my flats of veggies and flowers.I chose to purchase this particular item because it is American made and I believe in supporting our American companies.

I like that I got a pink one, other colors are hard to keep track of, and personal experience tells me that people do not steal pink tools 😉 you are going to love this thing

It looked like a good idea at the time.If you pay close attention the the lead photo it shows this auger being used with a Dewalt Hammer Drill. There is a reason for this.If your garden bed is soft loam this auger will work fine with a lightweight drill. But if you need to dig into Texas clay a Hammer drill will work better. Some augers have a triangular bit at the bottom to dig into hard ground. Augers with a cone shaped tip will just sit and spin, unless you have a two handed drill.I'll give it to one of my neighbors and let them play with it.

Génial

Genial para hacer agujeros de forma rápida y sin esfuerzo. Utilizo mi taladro sin problema

What a fantastic tool, we wanted to plant 100 dafodil bulbs in the grass verge outside our house which was hard after a hot summer and full of roots, with a good quality 18v drill my wife and I completed the job in just under 30 minutes with very little effort. It is so good I am thinking of planting another 100. It's a great tool, very well made and very easy to use buy one and brighten up some spring time verges.

Love this product, wish I had got it sooner before I planted 200 bulbs using a spade bit on my cordless drill...this makes a bigger hole...than using the spade.really need to use it in combination with the longer bit...I also bought...as you need width as well as depth!!!sure makes life a lot easier using these.Highly recommend them not just for planting bulbs..can use it for putting plants in hard to dig soil...which I tend to have.

Solid product
