Used for drilling holes for beach umbrellas. Works great! Read more

Being 6’2, it’s a bit of a pain to crouch down to dig holes. This auger was absolutely amazing to quickly punch holes in to the ground. It’s relatively strong, I have a rocky yard and it didn’t so much as chip, it works exactly as intended, absolutely worth it. Read more

I used to dread digging holes in my yard, but the 32" x 2" Extended Length Garden Auger Drill Bit has made it surprisingly easy. It attaches right to my power drill and powers through tough soil like a champ, saving me a ton of time (and backaches!). The extended length really comes in handy, so I don’t have to bend over as much, and it’s strong enough to handle everything from planting bulbs to loosening soil for post-hole diggers. I’m honestly amazed at how much this little tool has simplified my garden projects, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to make yard work less of a chore. Read more

I was faced with the task of driving a dozen 2 inch round metal posts into some seriously compacted ground that seemed impenetrable. I saw this auger on Amazon and wondered if it might do the trick. If it just lasted for my dozen post holes I would be happy. I was amazed at how well the auger dug its way into the gravelly, compacted ground using a Ryobi battery powered drill. Occasionally it would meet a larger piece of gravel that it could not push past so I would use a heavy pry-bar to smash that larger piece and then proceed with the auger. At the end of a dozen holes the auger was still in perfect condition apart from losing its paint from the working surfaces. I had been afraid that in such compacted, gravelly ground the auger spiral would become separated from the shaft. It showed no signs at all of this happening. Two years later the auger is still in use and still delivering. I found that the two inch hole it bores in the ground is perfect for a two inch metal post. Using the auger the post hole can be bored out to two feet deep. The post is a very snug fit into the hole and must be hammered in. The result is a firm setting of the post that does not need concrete to hold it in place. This worked very well in the compacted soil I was working with. If the soil had been loose or sandy that might not have been sufficient. Over the two years since I purchased this auger I have used it on a number of occasions - often for loosening soil along the line of a ditch ahead of digging it out. This has saved me a lot of effort. I would strongly recommend this auger. Read more
