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

It made digging so much faster and easier, and it saved me a lot of back pain. I put my drill through the ringer using this, and it held up great. This worked so well that I ended up buying another one in a larger size. If you do any gardening or landscaping, this is a must-have tool. It saves time, reduces the effort needed, and makes digging holes much easier. Definitely one of the better purchases I’ve made.

We moved into a new home a year ago, and the front yard was just... bare. I mean, it was just grass and had no visual appeal. So I came up with a dream - a pretty big one. For reference, I'm 70 and my daughter is 40-something. We cut an interesting shape out of the lawn and built a berm. But with the heat this summer, it's been slow going. Finally, yesterday we had a gorgeous weather day and did the shaping, sprinklering and covering it with landscaping fabric. And then it was time to plant. We tried digging the first hole with a shovel. Too big. We did the 2nd with a hand spade. We broke the handle off of it. 🙄 Then I remembered that I had purchased these augers. Game changer! We got the rest of the 25 plants in the ground in record time. Even the really tough crab grass root network could be overcome! My best advice, after all this... Use both hands when augering. When you encounter tough roots, make a wide circle to find the weakest root and it'll be easier. Don't push too hard! I used a regular Ryobi 18v drill and I'm super thankful that I got them. My daughter was both impressed and relieved, because she bore the brunt of the grunt work. I'm on a fixed income, so I could only afford very young plants. But I believe this garden will be glorious when it matures!

Good product

Inexpensive tool for loosening up dirt prior to digging, etc. Simple & Functional.

I used the auger with my 3/8” cordless drill for loosening soil to help dig holes for planting shrubs. It worked very well. My soil was hard packed and hard to get into with a shovel. After using the auger I was able to dig holes easily, with no problems at all. Just be careful - if the auger hits a root or rock the drill could twist and wrench your wrist. The auger is holding up well after moderate use. I’m happy that I bought this smallest size rather than one of the larger ones.

I purchased this auger drill bit to help loosen the soil and dig holes for new plants in our front yard, and it worked extremely well. Our soil can be pretty compact, but this attachment made the job much faster and easier than digging everything by hand. It attached easily to our drill, cut through the soil effectively, and saved us a lot of time and effort. We were able to plant multiple flowers and shrubs with much less strain on our backs and hands. If you’re doing any gardening, landscaping, or planting projects, I definitely recommend this auger bit. It was a great purchase and made a big difference in getting our yard projects done efficiently. 🌱🌷🪴💪

These items worked well ith the exception of the larger 3.5" auger seemed to be out of balance while drilling. I don't believe the weld on the shaft was straight but it works for softer dirt. The small 1.6" auger was perfect. Awesome for planting.

We have hard clay soil where we haven’t tilled it. This bit dug in and I had to add a T handle to the drill (20v Dewalt and an 18v RYOBI One+ w/handle) to control it. Super nice size holes for planting. Built well, heavy duty, recommended!

The auger was supplied without the drill. It is just like a piece of rod without the drill. In the picture there is a drill attached to the augur . But in the user manual they are suggesting to use electric drills. Amazon should refrain from advertising such vendors.

too lengthy not surdy, wobbles a lot

Bought this to help loosen up the soil around my rhubarb. I worked like a charm. I used my cordless drill and it easily went down into the compacted soil and with the drill in reverse it easily came back out. I have also used this to loosen up the soil which helped greatly in digging a hole. The metal is sturdy and it seems to be constructed well.

I used it to drill 12'" deep holes (7 in total) to install 1 inch diameter bamboo poles for a temporary wire mesh fence separating our yard. (We'll keep pets on one side of the yard while spraying herbicides on the other side). Half of the holes were drilled very quickly. For normal soil found in backyard, it took about a minute to drill to a depth of 12" with a 3/8 electric corded drill. When drilling in the clay area, mixed with a fair bit of small rocks (1/2" size), there was some wear observed at the leading edge of the spiral. On several occasions, the electric drill stalled because the bit probably hit larger rocks underneath and could not move on. I think I had also chipped a portion of the leading edge of the bit in one of these cases. It was understood that I was using the bit as a construction tool instead of a garden tool! The electrical drill was quite hot to touch too, indicating lots of power being transferred to the drilling bit. Yet it survived breakage, just some wear observed at the leading spiral edge. I would recommend this tool because the drilling work (for planting, for example) can be done very quickly. Just remember to ease off on drill speed if hitting rocks.

Not durable enough
