Garden Auger Drill Bit for Planting Φ40mm Length 420mm Bulb Planters Planting Auger, Garden Auger Spiral Drill Bit Garden Planter Auger Post Hole Digger for 3/8” Hex Drive Drill Solid Shaft

Used this to put in some 50mm tree posts,It did a great job, saved me a lot of time with making nice and neat holes,

Liked digging out fence posts

I have heavy compacted/clay soil and this drill bit helped enormously. Be careful as some have said it can snag. I eventually learned slow in and out is best. Make sure you have a reversable drill.I drilled a little in and while the drill is still in fwd motion slowly bring it back up this ejects the soil around the bit. Then go bit further and again bring it out. If get stuck use reverse a bit before fwd dragging soil up.Drilled full length down so drill nearly level with grass got rid of the soil taken out and let all the holes air dry (some water at bottom depth). Then backfilled 2/3 with garden stone (20mm think from homebargain 5.99 a bag) then 1/3 cut grass qnd compost to get the organics back in soil.Really helped drainage and much cheaper than french drains. Will do some more in autumn and overseed the lawn.Worth the money guys. If battery drill make sure you have a few batteries on charge. 18V battery did about 10 holes before being drained. Or maybe try with electric hammer drill with reverse function on.

Got quite a few bruises on legs when I could not handle the torque generated when roots forced drill to spin out of my hands. Dont be clever and rush the job and it's perfect. I was drilling holes 2ft 6in deep filling with stones mixed with sharp sand to help water logged ground drain. No little lakes on lawn now so did the job .

This a good tool not only for putting potted plants into the garden but to also soften up hard soil and mixing paint

As in the title, the augur worked a treat. I bought it to bore out the soil beneath holes in paving for drainage prior to fitting uplighters. I took advice from a previous review and used an 18V battery drill to reduce the risk of the augur snatching against roots and stones, and any ensuing wrist injuries. This was good advice.In terms of sturdiness, the solid shaft is a boon but care has to be taken not to damage the hexagonal section that is gripped by the drill chuck.

Really disappointed with this. I’d dug only a few holes in relatively soft soil before it bent, twisting my wrist really badly and becoming useless!

Produces clean holes in tilled garden soil and through turf, if using on the latter the drill needs careful tweaking to produce the best results.

I have a garden with very compact earth full of clay and stones. Digging larger holes for plants is quite a task and as I get older it does not get better. I bought these drills not really thinking they would help but willing to try. Using my 18 V drill I attacked the ground and quickly learned that a few rules were needed to be successful. Using the small drill first to drill a ring of holes around the planned hole and following that up with the bigger drill was so effective that it only took me 10 - 15 minutes to have a hole 60 cm wide x 60 cm deep. Also use the drills by repeatedly pulling them out after 10 - 15 cm. This breaks up the earth and removes the stones in the earth. Shovel the broken up earth out in between times. Proceed in layers down.These drills were worth every cent I payed and were 1/2 the price of many others. They are still undamaged by the use after 5 large holes.

Hatte schon vorher einen der war Dreck, dieser hält echt was aus. Es ist zwar sehr Kräfteraubend aber er tut wirklich was er verspricht, da der Schaft aus Vollmetall ist . Mit einer Bohrtiefe von etwa 38cm genau das was ich wollte und brauche, muss es grösser sein, dann bohre ich halt ein 2...3.. Loch. Sehr zu empfehlen.

The media could not be loaded.  E' la terza trivella che acquisto, purtroppo le prime due non le trovo più (una corta 22 cm e una da 35 cm)Questa è più lunga, 42 cm, e solo 4 cm di diametro. L'ho scelta così sottile per poterla manovrare facilmente.La notevole lunghezza forse mi servirà poche volte, ma è anche più comoda da usare perchè ci si deve piegare meno e, con molti buchi da fare, è un toccasana per la schiena.La punta lunga precedente aveva in punta un cono pieno leggermente scanalato che non era semplice da far piantare nel terreno duro. Questa ha una punta piatta a freccia che si pianta immediatamente.Come primo utilizzo ho fatto buchi per dei paletti da recinzione non cementati, velocissimo.Poi ho messo a dimora una trentina di piantine di insalata in modo velocissimo.Un unico appunto, la versione lunga, come questa, ha il problema che andando in profondità non riesce a eliminare la terra sbriciolata dalla trivella, con il risultato che non si riesce a piantare un cilindro che sia anche solo di 2/3 cm di diametro. Questo è dovuto al fatto che le alette a spirale coprono neanche metà della lunghezza della punta, ci vorrebbero fino alla parte finale, anche pensando di dover spendere un po di più. Comunque assegno ugualmente le 5 stelle, con la speranza che i produttori pensino a una versione modificata.Un accessorio utilissimo oltre che economico. Lo consiglio agli amanti dell'orto e del giardino

Perfecto. lo he utilizado para hacer un hoyo y colocar un pequeño poste. Ojo con el taladro, hay que ponerlo en velocidad lenta, con esa precaución va muy bien, pudo con raíces y alguna que otra pequeña piedra.

Sehr Stabil
