Eats through soil and clay ground. Set your drill to slow speed if you hit rocky stoney ground it will jam up and twist your wrist and arm. Worked well for me, it’s well made and strong, keep checking the chuck is tight!
I dug so many plants that was deep rooted. This saved me so much and time. Honestly it was fun to. Albeit until the drill gets stuck. Now I was silly to have it on hammer drill max setting. Not a good idea. The kickback could of bin lethal
I’m using this tool to help me deal with hard sool
This is such a useful little item. We are in the process of a significant transformation of the garden around our recent home purchase. This makes planting out bulbs and plants from 3-inch pots so easy and if there are plants already in a border then it reduces the disruption to the roots of the plants already planted. It has saved us so much time!
Not used yet but appears to be of good quality and price
After sowing 139 sweetcorn for the allotment it dawn on me I would have to dig 130 holes to plant them with a towel. This was daunting so I got this.. really sped the job up and created perfectly sized holes.
Just be sure to keep two hands on the drill at all times in case it hits a stone or something!
Going to use it for my spuds next week!
I’m not getting any younger and this is great, we have heavy clay soil but these make light work of making holes in the boarders ready for you just to pop your plants in.
Planted 150 bulbs in 15mins without breaking my wrist!
Great accessory especially if you have a cordless drill.
Used this to dig holes for my kids climbing frame securing posts. Best way to use is to jab in and out as you go along otherwise you can 9vertorque your drill. Obviously if you have lots of big stones you will struggle. Well worth the money and made my life a lot easier. Would buy again.
The drill bits work perfectly, for making holes for plants, poles, fence posts, rotary washing line.
easily fitted my cordless drill. good to use both drill functions( forward & reverse), as this makes a decent hole to plant my bulbs.
feels sturdy, as all one piesce of metal rod.
Much better than using a trowel.
Read the instructions/go one line and watch one of the many videos to make sure you choose an appropriate clutch setting, otherwise it can cause the drill to tug your hand/arm if not set correctly.
I can now make small holes in my garden to push the bulbs in.
A great tool which has saved me loads of time.
Works well even in Stoney or root infested soils
The garden Auger arrived on time. It is a good and steady unit. However, it requires a good powerful drill to use in rough soil. I tried a powerful 18 volts hand drill, but it did not work satisfactorily.
Used to drill holes in the ground for the posts supporting a raised bed – I was pleased with how well this auger worked – attached to a Makita 18V drill on slow speed.
These were very useful drill bits. We used these to help dig up a tree stump and they worked really well on the hard soil.
Purchased specifically to plant tulip bulbs in heavy clay soil. Worked a treat.
Bought these as have a back injury to help planting bulbs very handy but b carful of catching roots or stone as will twist wrist if useing powerful drill still very handy for other uses
Very quick to enable planting of spring bulb’s .
Great time saving purchase.
Great tool that makes bulb planting easier. Fits into a standard drill, but a little too wide for most cordless screwdrivers. Recommended.
very effective, but be careful – easy to put your shoulder out if drilling into soil with roots in it!
It does the job well. It saves a lot of effort and time. Just be aware that if you hit a stone, root or anything hard, your drill will feel like it is gone wild. It does not like hard surprises. But on earth, as hard as it can be it is great.
It does what is required very well but do use a sturdy drill with speed control and a firm steadying handle as the drill will twist from your grip in clay and stoney soil. In light soils it is OK but the spoil will fall back into deep holes. It’s good for pre-loosening of ground for digging out for fence posts and wider holes and for turning over compost in a compost bin.
Planted 100 allium bulbs in about 30 minutes with this. Well I drilled the holes and got the kids to drop the bulbs in holes after me. 😉 Wish I’d bought one years ago. No fighting with hard soil and clay. Pulls smaller pebbles and stones up with the soil. Worth setting on a slower speed though. Just incase it did jam it won’t hurt your wrist.
he screws that i used for my old tv to the wall bracket were the right size but were to long for this TV. But manged to fix it, I was very easy to do the installation. It was automatic in most cases. .Good value for the money. excellent picture quality but sound a bit weak .Probably needs a sound bar.
Came quickly and are as described, work reaaly well but have only used a coipule of times so far. However, they are built weel so hope they hold up over the next months and into next year, time will tell.
Did what was expected. Good for drilling in soil for 50mm dia posts.
Haven’t yet tried for bulb planting but probably works well.

Couldn’t be a better tool for drilling perfect holes for planting
This works okay and it works well on my cordless drill I would recommend it for anyone for gardening and turning the garden over.
I bought it to bore some holes and I was a little adventurous if they did one with an sds drill attachment that would be great.
This 50mm (dia) 600mm length auger helped to make hole in turf for fitting rotary washing line. Had to utilise metal bar to break up stones encountered, which the auger struggled to pass. However this auger certainly contributed in making the job easier to reach the depth of hole required and saved having to dig the turf out.
Easy to use with a battery drill, found it to be very useful for planting and tilling soil.
I have to say expensive for what it is but I have to admit used in an SDS drill it really does make digging post holes etc a breeze and is quiet fun and satisfying to use. You do find yourself look king for reasons to dig a new hole with i
Long enough to make bending no problem. Only used as trial so far, but seems to work well.
Works well in clay or loamy soil but be careful if there are large stones. The helix doesn’t shift them and the drill tends to rotate as the auger stops. Best to use regular in/out movements to clear the waste.
Used with dense packed soil with stones underneath. Went through easy and didn’t break
Sturdy and good quality. Only gave it 4 stars as the two yellow plastic things that came with it were broken. But the drill bit was excellent!
2 Products ordered Wednesday, expected on Saturday, one arrived Thursday, one on Friday. Both exactly as expected. If I had to gripe about something, it would be the packaging was massive for both. I have a third size drill on order, all three would fit in a single box half the size of the box each was sent in. Quality excellent and service faultless. Its a hard one really, because if they waited for all three to be despatched together, you would complain they took too long. All in all…..very happy and highly recommended.
Worked perfectly. One drawback, my drill doesn’t have a speed setting the speed is controlled by how much pressure you put on the trigger. Sometimes you squeeze to hard and it goes deeper than you want!
as i suffer from artheritis it makes making holes easy no digging
Bought for my wife to use. ordered easily and delivered the following day. Very happy.
a strong little tool which speeds up planting quantities of bulbs but remember two things…-1) you need to fill the hole in with good earth to complete the job and 2) Avoid areas where tree/or shrub roots are likely to be as the tool quickly grips these and tries to take you with it!!
It works very well with my Bosch screw gun.
But the screw guns need to be fully charged.
It is very powerful. Less than 10 seconds to plant a bulb.
Recommended.
I have looked for a garden auger for a while but have never been happy with the construction of them until I found this one. I am extremely happy with the quality finally. I would highly recommend this auger.
This is a great product and takes all of the work out of planting large numbers of bulbs.
This was the easiest way to plant bulbs ever. Excellent. (Obviously do need the hand drill in the first place!)
Handy bit of kit if you have arthristis like it is digging to plant blubs in the garden and other types of plants
I just used it to go over my border, saved a lot of digging. Easy to use.
For compacted soil or stoney soil this tool is very good and creates a clean series of holes to plant several bulbs at one time.Very useful with a battery drill
.
This little drill but allowed planting of bulbs quickly and easily in stone soil.
Using the auger allowed us to plant well over a hundred daffodil bulbs in about 4hours. Using my 18vot battery drill meant there was high torque to the actual hole, leaving us with about a 30mm dia opening to drop the bulbs nicely to the bottom and covering them with the soil that had spiralled its way out of the ground.
Excellent product, very strong and easily used.

Amazing product made my bulb planting a simple task, completely effortless .
This was easy and successful to use in a garden setting. 50 bulbs planted in 15 minutes
easy to reach the desired depth , clogs a little with mud, bu tsimply continuing to drill next hole solves this.
Definately recommend rahter than using a dibber!
I used it to help remove soil from post hole tight to fence. Was putting in 7 of the short concrete repair posts to bolt to existing wooden post. Removed old cement with chiselling drill and because soil was wet and compacted bought this item to help remove the soil. Very difficult with post hole spade, just compacted through being wet. Worked a treat, removed about 4″ depth at a time, then used the post hole shovel to enlarge the hole. The spiral pulled the earth up nicely which because wet stuck to the spiral. I’ll be honest, I thought after reading reviews the spigot that goes in the drill would probably break but by using a drill with an auto clutch no problem. Saved a lot of hassle and time. I gave it 4 stars for sturdiness because as an engineer I can see the spigot was its weak point and also fitted not particularly true and if in ground with any heavy side ways force would probably snap off, if you have a drill with a clutch use it as no problems that way, try and drill straight and pull out straight rather than wiggle it about.
We have very hard tough clay soil,which is fairly soft after a weeks rain,so ideal for planting daffodill bulbs,I bought the auger which makes approx 2 inch diameter holes,and used a DE Walt 18 volt battery powered drill,it really works only snag is that its too short if you suffer with a bad back or due to age like me, cannot kneel down . On the net I found a video showing how to use an auger,it was filmed in the USA and it showed that an extension was available in the USA ,they usually have everything out there. So I got 15 inches of steel rod and made my own extension,Its now very easy to use for a 79 year old chap like me,made a few test holes yesterday,it went in easily, did not clog up,made a clean round hole and the drill coped quite easily ,by drilling with an auger the soil is not compacted at the bottom of the hole,which does happen if holes are made with a crowbar or similar pointed tool,also with a flat bottomed hole the bulb roots are in contact with the soil, So its a very good tool,which works far better than I thought it would
I used this to help plant daffodil bulbs and it was easy to use
and worked on the driest ground with utmost ease. would recommend
This works quite well with low power battery drill – it’s a bit too much on a electic mains drill that hasn’t a variable speed setting! The two drills wiil make a suitable hole in softish soil but struggles with hard or impacted soil so they are more suited to prepared beds. Given this they are very useful for planting a lots of bulbs and are very well made.
This has helped me to plant in clay which I was finding impossible.
works very well saves all the try to dig hard ground . makes perfect holes about 250 mm deep hole
Used this to dig holes for raised bed support posts in the garden. It struggled a bit as soon as you hit any rock bigger than an inch or two (the hole expanded a bit and had to be cleared a bit by hand) but made lovely clean holes where rocks were not a problem. The shaft did bend a bit once or twice near the drill chuck but could be bent back by hand well enough to dampen the worst vibrations. I only really bought this for the one job. I think I dug about 20 holes with it in some fairly demanding ground and it would probably do the same again before it gives up. It certainly made planting the posts much much quicker and they’re probably much sturdier than they would be if I’d dig the holes by hand. Definitely use a sturdy corded drill.
Bought this to help dig anchor points for concreting in a kids climbing frame, the climbing frame was too heavy to move so I had restricted access trying to get a spade in around the corners without damaging the wood.
This worked a treat on my 18v Dewalt cordless, it went straight through the layer of top soil and to my surprise it even churned through the 3 or 4 inch layer of compacted stones which had previously covered our back garden (the previous owners used it as a car park). It then went straight into the think wet clay below and helped pull out lumps of clay with ease. Really surprised how well it worked.
The first corner took well over an hour to dig out with a pick and a trowel, with the help of this auger the other 3 corners took less than 15min each.
Really wish I had this a few years ago when I was digging out fence posts
I saw a video of one of these and thought it was too good to be true. I bought one to try it out. You can plant four bulbs with this in the time it takes to plant one the old fashioned way. Heavy duty, arrived when they said it would.
Just couldn’t believe how easy it was to break up hard compacted soil.
Really a good drill bit not only for planter also to drill hole for fencing.
Love i
Bought initially to fix a washing pole into the garden and worked a treat. Then went on to use to speed up some border planting. Works very well but a bit expensive for what it is really
Does the job I needed and made planting much easier than digging holes by hand
Perfect. Used for drilling into grass to allow ground anchors to be fitted on playground
My husband loves the sturdy easy to use high quality has made his job much easier highly recommend
Top notch service, great product and would use them again in a heartbea
A great tool for planting small and medium sized bulbs. The shaft length is shorter than I would have liked. It’s definitely a hands and knees job. That said it works well and does a good job. Thank you.
Looks solid. Fast delivery and a nice wee free gift.
I had just removed some small conifers and bamboo 3/4ft high and have been using a small Matix to break up the ground which was bone dry, This “Bulb/mini rotavator was great for breaking up the ground, I just kept drilling holes and before very long the ground was broken enough to add my compost, great wee tool and I intend to buy the longer one next pension day. Highly recommended
Great value for money, my 80 year old mum is using it in a 12 volt drill and love it. Brillia
Very useful. Easy to use. I loved it.this tool
Does what it says on the tin, although best to go gently at first!
Overall very good and easy to use. We have clay soil with a lot of stones but these were not a problem with the auger. Until now I had been using traditional bulb planters, long handled and hand planters, but they are not as efficient because if you hit stones you have to dig them out to continue, and in my case there are loads. Now with the auger planting bulbs is a breeze.
My reason for minus one star is the length – I bought a long one (37cm) but I need to bend my back. I started having a backache while planting 140 spring bulbs, so I decided to sit on a low stool, then the auger was too long. Otherwise, it is a very efficient gardening tool and I even enjoyed using it. It was also useful to remove deep rooted weeds found while doing the planting job. I may buy another size next year.
It’s easy until it gets into clay, bent a tad so not sure it’ll be of any help anymore
Auger is OK and does what is claimed providing you have a good drill. Bonus items are a cheep nasty plastic waste of time in my opinio
TIP: if you have a sore back perhaps buy the larger size.
This was smaller than I thought, so has involved a lot of bending over.
The auger itself appears well made and is a nice weight. The effectiveness really depends upon the quality of your drill. I have an expensive brushless branded drill. I tried it on hard December soil and it drilled a nice hole with ease.
I’m guessing a cheap drill would make things much tougher, so take this into consideration.
If.you found my review useful please consider giving me a Helpful vote.
Sturdy metal auge
I bought to aid the planting of my spring bulbs, works really well and saved a lot of time.
An excellent gadget! Makes planting bulbs very easy, and a lot of fun!
Brilliant device especially if you’ve got a lot of bulbs to plant. Just takes all the hard work out of the job.
Ordered through Amazon for a gift. Looks great. All good.
Brilliant gadget. Bought it to drill holes in grass/clay soil to help put fence posts in. Robust and easy to use.
120 bulbs planted in a fraction of the time it would normally take me. It works so well, bulb planting no longer a chore
I planted 20 small bulbs in less than half an hour on a sloping woody area of the garden which was also in hard ground.
Tool was strong & Did exactly what was required
I had 600 tulip bulbs to plant in a recently cleared bed – full of old roots so not the easiest to dig. Bought a so called bulb planter which failed after 3 bulbs and needed to be bent into shape again, any way gave up and continued with a small fork and a trowel, had done 320 bulbs in over 4 hours and got a huge blister on my hand. Ordered this and planted the remaining 280 in less than hour! Wish I’d had this in the first place would have saved a lot of pain and time and does a neater job. Lets face it this is a bit of metal so more of a five star review of the method than the actual product. If you want to plant something that matches the size then this is definately the tool for the job.
Good product. Does what it says. This ones good for smaller bulbs.
Used to make holes in garden for small bulb planting. Saves time and effort. Used especially on lawn to plant crocus bulbs
To my surprise, this works really well! Great for planting alliums and tulips. Need to be careful that no airpockets remain, but that is simple to solve, and this gadget enables dozens of bulbs to be planted very quickly.
I wish I’d known about this useful attachment sooner. I have used it with a battery drill – planted hundreds of bulbs in our lawn in no time. Save yourself the work!
Saves so much time. Planted over 30 bulbs in less than 20 minutes. Happy days
Saves a lot of time and you can turn pot soil over very quickly
This auger is well made and requires a powerful drill to make holes in the earth when planting bulbs.
Because of its diameter one needs to take care when drilling into soil as it is easy to twist your wrist if you have not set a torque setting on the drill.
Used this for aiding me dig holes to secure children’s swing in my garden. Works a treat but you have to be careful because sometimes it dug in and I ended up with half of the drilling machine being buried in the ground. Very happy with this auger though.
Ideal for smaller areas robust and should last a lifetime, got a bigger area then you’ll need the larger one.
Super quick delivery and does exactly as it should. Very happy with my purchase and will help a lot on a garden project I have planned!
Very happy!
I used the auger to get a large plant out of it container which was pot bound. I’d been having trouble getting it out of the pot a d tried everything I could think of. So bought the auger and it did the job brilliantly
Excellent tool , easy to use went straight through the soil, stones an all, made it much easier to bore holes for plants and posts .
Very well made garden Auger drill bit.
I’m only reviewing on the basis of how well made the drill bit is and not it’s performance as I’ve no bulbs to plant just yet but when I do I will add to my review.
It’s very well made and very strong coated metal looks like it will stand up to even the toughest soil clay or just solid garden soil.
It also comes with two free handy little tools a dibber for seedling thinning out and a nice tool with a fork and mini spade on each end
Looks great no faults
