Auger Drill Bit for Planting 3 Pack with Extension - 3/8'' Hex Drive Drill | Spiral Hole Planter for Bulbs, Fence Posts, and Umbrella Holes - Gardening Hole Digger Yard Tools - Garden Drill Attachments

I was actually using this to dig 3 ft deep holes for posts. The huge $500 gas powered auger I rented couldn't cut it, it would hit a rock and bend out of my hands. But this little adapter was able to go around rocks and loosen the soil for removal! Honestly, I cannot believe how good this thing worked! I really went hard in the paint with it too - digging holes in a variety of terrible soils with rocks and roots - you name it! I truly put this auger to the test, and it did not Bend or break. It's also an incredible value for the money. I'll probably be buying another one just for safe keeping! If you're planning on using this just for planting, it will absolutely make planting easier. 12/10 WILL use again!

Holy cow! These augers handled the worst soil. Living by a glacier made sound, there are rocks EVERYWHERE...and clay! While they didn't immediately go down 23" immediately, it was way easier than digging by hand. Tips: !. when working with rock, I found it worked better by not pushing down hard, but rather let the blades vibrate the rocks and soil loose by holding it without pressure. 2. I found using the little screw to hold the auger to the extension was tedious when switching sizes. It worked just fine without the connecting screw. I was able to dig 12 holes with the augers holding up to the task. And at this price...well worth it.

Works as advertised. The largest one was not as big as I thought it would be after reading the description but they do work.

This worked really well for planting tree seedlings. Held up well made the job much easier

Had considered buying a gas powered auger but I saw this set of drill augers and it proved to be just what I needed. Used them to drill holes for posts to create an arbor for grapes. I can see it will also be helpful for drilling holes for plants and small trees. I attached it to my electric powered drill and it easily dug through hard packed dirt and some clay which contained small rocks and other minor impediments. Be careful around tree roots though as it can get caught around them and not pull back out easily. I'm 6' + so the extension worked perfectly and helped me avoid bending down too far.

These come in handy for so many different uses and they work great

I enjoy using this set, although as of late I have a lot of failures with it, the three different sizes have been narrowed to one, as the shafts of the smallest and medium size both snapped where the hole was drilled to allow for securement to the extension/shaft that connects to the drill. Originally I thought I was being to aggressive with the drill/dirt was to hard, etc. However now I believe that the strength of the metal leaves much to be desired. Once in use, the auger works great, I really enjoy the ability to quickly place a hole and then drop a plant in it. But as it is now, I only have one size and that is commonly too big, but I still use it and the other two augers, albeit I have to have the smaller auger pieces so close to the drill, I am literally laying on the ground to use them. Again, when they work, they are a real time saver, when broken, they're a real pain in the rear

These are handy for planting small plants. Makes it quick and easy.
