Have now used these widely all over the garden. If the builders hadn’t left so much rubble, the task would have been a lot easier. Valuable tool if slightly flimsy.
Bought these for my daughter to use. When I tried to use the large one it jambed against a stone and jarred my wrist, but once is got the stone out of the way it did a great job. No signs of any welds failing yet but we will see.
Works really well, I used it to make the holes for concreting in some 33mm round metal fence posts. It needs a fairly hefty drill to power it, my 20v cordless one struggled a bit in fairly heavy soil when 30cm down. Once down at the limit
in the soil, you need to withdraw it and remove any adhering sticky soil before continuing.
Used to make holes in the soil for fence posts.
It done the job it intended to do.
Snagged a few times if it hit a root or stone, damaged the thread but still usable.
Saved me time and that was the main reason for purchase .
I bought this to plant meadow flowers in my lawn. I pricked the flowers out into peat pots, drilled a hole in the lawn and planted the peat pot. Worked a treat, very pleased.
Robust enough for hardish ground , only used for planting bulbs and bedding not post holes may need something more powerful than a battery drill for that . My advice is check grounds not stoney or full builders rubble
This drill bit is amazing!! Wish I had one years ago! I’ve made six pilot holes in the ground in five minutes!! Saves the spade work!!
I needed to make some holes for decking supports apx 200mm (8 inches) square and to a depth of the same. As I have arthritis in my pelvis spade work is very difficult for me. With this auger I can make four holes then dig out the rest with a bit more ease.
