SYITCUN 1.6"(D) x9"(L) Garden Auger Drill Bit for Planting Solid Shaft Heavy Duty Auger Spiral Drill Bit for Planting Bulb Bedding Plants Plants Drill bit for 3/8” Hex Drive Drill

I was expecting something flimsy but this is thick and strong. When I tried it I worked great. Great deal for the money. Will last forever.

This was exactly what we needed to drill a HUGE number of planting holes over 3 weekends. We were planting a large area of mondo grass, which involved planting 1000+ sprigs of mondo. We started digging the holes by hand with a trowel, then quickly realized that it would take the rest of our lives to complete the process by hand. I ordered this auger bit to drill the holes and it was fantastic! With the right soil conditions, it performed beautifully. We drilled all the holes over a period of several days (not all at once). Tips for getting the best results: DO provide good spoil conditions. The soil should be damp and soft, not wet, not dry, not hard. If the soil is hard and dry, water it thoroughly and wait (in our case it was a day or two) to let the water drain and soften the soil. DO NOT drill too many holes at a time because your drill will overheat...the harder the dirt, the harder the drill must work.

We had 500 daffodil bulbs to plant and it wasn't looking good. We planted them in an hour and a half using the smaller auger. It worked great. We used a 20V cordless 1/2" drill. It cut through roots easily and handled small rocks. We were amazed at how quickly it went. The perfect tool for the job. The larger auger was better for potted plants but worked just as well.

still I didn't use it but I'm sure is good quality

This was a godsend. Digging out holes to plant out my pimiento pepper plants usually takes me a while but with this it cut my time in the garden in half. Nice and sturdy and coupled with a cordless drill made the work oh so easier.
