Hole Digger Auger for Planting Bulbs Seedlings,Bulb Planting Auger,Heavy Duty Garden Spiral Auger Drill Bit,Solid Core Shaft Planting Auger,Garden Bulb Planter Tools 4x22cm

I wasnt holding out much hope for this auger bit, but the quality was certainly good enough and it did what i needed easily, actually very easily saving loads of messing about and time. I wanted to put up 4 50mm round poles to mount garden lights on and couldnt face digging the baked hard soil and this lil thing just ploughed right through ( or should i say down) digging a round hole 7-8 inches deep starter hole. which was more than enough to support the pole after a few taps with a lump hammer and jobs done. 4 poles in the ground, lights up and coffee still too hot to drink, it took minutes. top job No issues with minor stones and no damage done to the auger, so if your working on planting bulbs etc in softer soil this will be brilliant if not overkill, not heavy enough to be an issue in a cordless drill so perfectly portable. Ideal for anyone who hates hard work or messing about and i can see it being wonderful for those who want to do more in the garden but find it hard work ( like me) its effortless

Originally bought to drill post holes in the ground, it worked really well. It's strong and good quality, so made light of the job. You do need to be careful not to drill too fast as it can wrench your hand when the bit gets stuck in the ground and the drill starts to turn instead of the bit. It was the perfect size for the posts that I used. I also used it to take an old post out of the ground by drill around it to loosen all the compacted soil. The post was soon loosened enough to be able to pull it out with ease. Great value item.

Easy to use; best for flowerbeds where you can move the soil back over the hole. For sowing bulbs in lawns you’re better off with a round punch as you then get a plug of lawn to put back, which this doesn’t give you. Do be cautious of going too fast if you have other plants under the soil in the flower bed that you want to avoid, even on a slow drill setting this can get ‘carried away’! But it does make digging a small hole super quick as well as being great for breaking up and aerating soil. Very impressed.

Bought for the wife who is constantly adding Bluebells and Snowdrops to our woodland garden and spends most of the time digging the bulbs in with a trowel on her knees. The length of this auger enables her to stand and drill multiple holes in a group very quickly and then simply drop the bulbs in and back-fill. It makes the job so much easier, quicker and more consistent. The only observation is that you need to ‘hold’ the drill-bit back to prevent it from simply drilling in too deeply without removing the soil. If you lift the drill up and down as you go this will ensure the hole is cleared of soil and not suddenly swallow the auger bit. It would also have been helpful if the blades had extended longer up the shaft to enable deeper holes for stakes but this is its secondary use as the increased ease for bulb planting is its forte. Well made with solid shaft unlike some other hollow versions and the diameter of the hole is perfect for dropping a bulb in and allowing your pinched fingers to press in the soil behind it. Not had it long enough to have encountered any issues apart from hitting the odd tree root and having to back out and move the spot over. Used with a an old corded drill and long extension lead as this drill has a side handle for steady control and a speed limiter on it so it could be set not to run away and bury itself more quickly. Good tool and well worth having in the shed. I’m no gardener but the wife would spend all day on the garden if she could and she really likes using it and has planted many bulbs since getting it.

Manufacturing quality was excellent. The tool can be used to plant bulbs, but longer ones are available for fence posts, washing line poles etc.

Would be great in soft soil but if the soil is soft there would be no need to use this. If the ground is hard and stoney it's as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Very disappointing

Used it on my cordless drill to dig 15 75x75mm post holes it works perfectly on regular garden soil but rocks must be removed manually, a chisel would do. Definitely worth the money and still intact.

Easily made neat 2ft holes to take some posts. It worked well in our soil which is quite stoney when you get down about 9in. I like that it has a solid shaft It works well with a cordless drill ( max torque) which has better control than my electric drill. It didnt fit my impact driver and the SDS drill would be too powerful. Go slow, if it seizes just reverse the drill and try again woth less pressure but go slow of the drill is going too fast when it seizes on a stone or root you could eaisily break a finger or hurt your wrist. The only negative is that I would have prefered the screw/blade to come further up the shaft which would make it easier get the spoil out of the hole if you are making a deep hole.

Perfect

Habe mir den Bohrer für 3 Punktfundamte gekauft. Hatte wenig Hoffnung dass das Ding für 15 Euro wirklich was ist. Aber was soll ich sagen, das ding in die Bohrmaschine eingespannt. Vier fünf mal reingebohrt um alles aufzulockern, rausschaufeln fertig. Für die drei Löcher 50x50x50 habe ich 45min gebraucht. Klare Kaufempfehlung

I have heavy clay. I pre- soaked the 25 areas I wanted to drill, ideally 2’ deep. Sometimes the bentonite in the soil prevented that depth. The rare rock seriously impeded use. Do not use if rocky soil. I had a rigid 1/2” drill with a side handle. If no side handle, I would not use it for serious use. I would drill till serious resistance, lift, empty the auger of dirt, drill again. Sometimes re- wet the hole. That would sometimes allow further penetration. I was planting tree seedlings. The 4” drill performed admirably, allowing me to do the job that would’ve been VEY difficult otherwise. Auger remained strong and sharp. I re-tightened the sight drill grip after each hole. I would say 30” per hole including amendments to hole and planting seedling trees. I’m 72 y farm girl. I did 8-10 holes including planting per day. Hard work. When auger sticks, it has the potential to break your hand/arm, I got skilled at reading the auger as I went on.

Ok

Facile d'utilisation. Il ne faut pas forcer comme un barbare et prendre son temps et ça fonctionne très bien. Utilisé avec perceuse normes perceuse à percussion et les 2 fonctionne même si forcemrnr ça force moins avec la percussion. Je recommande
