From the maker of gardening tools, Power Planter has been eliminating sore backs for landscapers and gardeners for 3 decades now. Power Planter now brings you the DIY Guru Garden Auger. This auger drill bit digs through hard soil and makes planting trees, shrubs, and annuals a breeze.
Our DIY auger drill bit for planting works with most cordless or electric drills with a minimum 18V voltage. Just tighten the drill chuck to secure the auger, and you’re ready to dig.
Plant more in less time with the help of this auger post hole digger that digs consistently neat holes. It's ideal for bulbs, bedding plants, vegetables, and 3-inch potted annuals or perennials.
The balanced design of this spiral post-hole auger rotates without vibration. You can be assured it won't spin uncontrollably and potentially ruin your power drill.
The DIY Guru Auger measures 3 in thick and 12 inches long and can dig holes up to 11 inches deep. This drill auger bit for planting is designed to leave a small amount of loose soil in the bottom of the hole to help a new plant grow. The auger bit features a hardcore 5/8-in steel shaft, rugged, 10-gauge flighting, 3/8-in non-slip hex drive, and is painted with glossy black enamel. This earth auger makes solid, thick, consistent welds, while the hex head stays secure in the drill chuck, even in compacted soil.
As an Illinois-based family-owned manufacturer of garden tools, we learned early on the value of putting our customers' needs above all else. We stand by the quality of our auger digger bits that, unlike conventional ones, are made of extra-thick steel shafts and flightings. They won't bend under pressure and are sure to impress.

I bought this auger bit to drill holes for posts for a bird netting cage.I used an electric drill for my first attempt last week. The auger performed beautifully, but the drill was a little rough on my arthritic hands, even on a low speed.Today I attached the bit to a hand drill, and drilled the hole in about the same amount of time. Much easier to control.The bit is strong and sturdy and dug through the soil beautifully. It might seem expensive, but it's put together to last and well worth every penny.One caution. Make sure you wash and dry the bit after you use it. I let it air dry in my slightly damp basement, and it had a little bit of surface rust where the finish had worn off an edge.Definitely a good tool to have around the yard.

I was in search of a bulb auger and could not find one with true good reviews. So I decided to get this instead, and WOW this is great , if you have a beefy electric drill with side handle. Fortunately we do! ( A battery operated drill doesn’t have the power to drive this in tough clay soil.) We have tough clay rocky soil. We have used it 5 times so far to plant small bushes. We also used it to get rid of some vine bush thing that was overtaking a bed of roses that had been neglected for years. It took about an hour with the auger. Without the auger, it may have taken 4 to 6 hours and we probably wouldn’t have gotten rid of all the sucker roots! It was a life saver! It seems very well made, and I expect it to last a long time. Here’s what worked for us.1.When needing to plant a bush or shrub, my husband ( age 74) drilled holes about 7 inches apart around the perimeter of the needed space , then used a spade to remove the soil. Additional drilling was often needed to make the hole deep enough.2. Dealing with rocks and roots. As others have mentioned, when the auger grabs hold of a root or larger rock it can force the drill and your hands down to the surface rapidly. At first it is best just to let go of your tool, otherwise you may be injured.a. Be careful and try to avoid working directly above rocks or other border materials. Having your hand smashed against such material could be quite painful.b. As you learn to recognize that the auger has grabbed a root or rock, immediately reduce speed, then put it in reverse. When you do this, it will often pull up the rock.3. I haven’t planted my bulbs yet, but I know this will make quick work of that task!

I am an advocate for the right tool for the job makes for an easy and professional finish to a task. What a pleasure to use this tool. It makes turning the flower beds so easy. Instead of just scraping the surface and ending up in agony with back, wrist and shoulder pain added to hand blisters after an all day session, using the Power Planter 312 has shortened the task to a few hours and I now have soil well tilled to a depth of about a foot.Digging a hole to plant a rose bush took 2 minutes, the 1st minute to dig the hole and the rest of the time to remove the soil and plant the bush. Better still, no blood sweat or tears. Fantastic tool.My only regret is that the information about this tool didn't cross my path earlier.

This is absolutely flipping amazing!! I can’t do it enough justice! I’m just on the last run of planting 3500 bulbs for a job and without this i would’ve been in some major bulb planting financial disaster! With this I can dig a 300mm deep hole in seconds (for alliums in case your wondering what would require such a deep hole!) and it’s big enough to put my whole hand and bulb down into the hole to plant it the right way up and settle it into position. I have even turned over and fluffed up whole planting flower beds, nothing more than a couple of m2 yet but it is incredible! One moment a compacted bit of soil then seconds later it’s super fluffed and soft and ready to plant.. if you’re at all interested you should definitely buy one, you can’t help but be impressed!
