Auger Drill Bit for Planting - 1.6" x 16.5" Plant Auger for Cordless Drill - Bulb Planter Tool for Bulbs Planting&Holes Digging - 3/8" Hex Drive Drill

Works well, only gripe is that it doesn’t have the quick attach for a driver.

Works fine

I've planted hundreds of bulbs in my lifetime but am too old to get down on my knees anymore so I was very excited when I saw this tool. It's sturdy and of good quality and fits my cordless drill perfectly. It MORE than exceeded my expectations and it was inexpensive to boot!!!

Worked fine with bulbs or small plants. Wider blades are needed for larger plants. I liked the longer stem from blades. Felt safer!

Makes it so easy to plant bulbs or just break up the soil for large plants. I should have bought this years ago. Just be mindful of rocks or roots in the ground. If you hit something, you will definitely know it.

I saw one of these on Amazon about three months ago. I wanted it. What a boon to planting! But then some confusion arose for me. It only worked with a Hex Bit Drill. What the heck was that? I did a bit of research and found I didn't not possess the required machine. I have two drills but have never needed a high impact driver, and wasn't going to buy one now. So I let go of the idea for a couple of months. Then I bought a lot of Gladioli and Caladium bulbs and decided I did want an auger after all. I looked at my drill and decided it would hold an angular bit adequately and ordered the Sorangeun yellow auger that looked coated and sturdy. When it arrived I tested it in the drill and it seemed to hold firmly. The auger itself is heavy duty and is, in fact, covered with a plastic or heavy paint coating making it easier to clean. So the time came to disturb the earth with it. First up, my wife's new Caladium bed out front. It went into the ground easily setting the soil aside the hole perfectly. What a joy! Then it started to hit what we thought was a root at the base of the tree for these low light plants. The drill groaned but it allowed the 2 – 4 inches depth we needed to plant the bulbs. So far so good. Then came our Glads. There was a prepared bed in the back, designed by the previous owners, waiting for us. In a couple of minutes we discovered the same “barrier” in the back that we encountered in the front. No tree here in full sun area. So I examined the soil only to find a double lawn fiber layer under the entire bed. Happily the auger went straight through it spitting up small pieces of black cloth. I planted the corms around the perimeter. We buried over 45 bulbs that day and it was the easiest thing I'd done in a month. Tops up, 2 – 6 inches deep depending on bulb size (and not one was too big for the resultant 1.6 inch hole). . All thanks to our new Sorangeun Bulb Planting Auger. I'm giving this tool 5 Stars and my highest possible recommendation.

Unfortunately, using reverse resulted in the extension unscrewing from the auger section everytime. Very frustrating. This flaw could easily be corrected by using a cotter pin rather than screwing the two parts toegther. Also the end of the shaft connected to the drill should be a hex connection that locks into place. The unit worked by breaking up the dirt making it easy to remove with a manual post hole digger.

This is a great product for the price. I used this in conjunction with an auger style post hole digger and was able to set my post in no time, and wasn't sore after.

I purchased to be able to make holes for picket fencing in my yard. Worked well and perfect size!

J'avais besoin de cette foret pour installation d'une clôture. Fonctionne très bien, robuste et compatible avec n'importe quelle drill.

Great for burying stick fertilizer. I needed a heavy duty drill for packed soil and this drilled the holes quick and easy.

FIRST TIME WORKING GOOD BUT NOT STRONG LONGER

Ya, I know, I could by a stand like normal people would. But this is portable and a quick cheap solution when I want shade. Plus the stand is heavy. I've used my friend's auger bit, one time on the beach, and the umbrella stayed upright the whole weekend. So I'd consider bringing it along the next time I spend time at the beach or camping.
