K-Brands Auger Drill Bit for Planting – 3 x 12 Inch - Gardening Tools Spiral Hole and Bulb Planter for Umbrella Holes - Compatible with 3/8 Inch Hex Drive

I have horrible red rocky clay soil in my yard which is so difficult to dig in that I need a heavy digging pole to dig holes more than a couple inches deep or wide. It is hard work and very frustrating to plant anything. I ordered a couple of shepherds' hooks recently for my garden, and I decided to try to make my life easier by ordering these augurs and drilling holes into my awful soil rather than trying to dig holes for the shepherds' hook prongs. I don't know why I didn't order these sooner because they have made a huge difference in my ability to quickly and easily dig holes for the shepherds' hooks as well as bulbs and plants. After I got the shepherds' hooks installed, I quickly and easily planted 50 narcissus bulbs in under an hour, a chore that would easily have taken me half a day of slow and difficult digging the old way. I like that there are different sizes and lengths of these augurs which will accommodate different planting hole sizes. The augurs are very easy to insert into the drill, are very sturdy, and made quick work drilling holes into my awful soil. I am sure I will be using them for a wide variety of chores such as aerating my compost piles, planting/transplanting. I only wish I had bought these years ago - they would have saved me many hours of drudgery and frustration!

This auger drill bit worked great. I have only used the larger 3" bit so far. It made it easy to drill holes in the soil to plant bulbs. The biggest reason why I bought it was to drill many holes and loosen up the ground to plant bushes. With the tough clay ground I have in my flower bed, it is normally very difficult to dig out a large hole for planing bushes. Using the auger bit on the drill made the task 1000 times easier. Easy to wash off too. Would recommend.

Works great. Used to plant our flower garden and made it go by super quick.

Works well for digging holes. I agree with other reviews of using smaller auger first and then larger one for large holes. Great for planting from small up to 3 gallon plants. Just the tool to save time, faster job and easier on you.

These work well. It saves me a lot of time trying to transplant my planta from diffing with a shovel.

This auger is very easy to connect to a drill and saved me so much time planting! My only issue was how many rocks I ran into in my backyard. Heading back to the nursery to get more plants!!

Work great…I can make hole for spring planting quickly…love these especially the bigger one.

Because of the diameter of the center, it only works for soft soil.
