This auger dug 6 one cubic foot hole in 5 minutes per hole. It was in rocky backfill very tough going. I used the bit in a half inch drill. It started grabbing into the soil, rocks and chips of concrete went flying (use goggles) and I scooped out the hole. Done in 5 minutes. The bit took a beating in the rockiest dirt I have ever dug a hole in. Very tough, very good bit. The drill was an off brand drill. I bought this drill just for this job. Also a tough drill. These tools could probably dig 100 holes that are 1 cubic feet in regular soil not not extremely rocky soil.. There are also bits with extended shafts. There could be a problem with extended shafts with all the tork in tough rocky soil.

I've been using the 2"x7" auger for the last couple of days and it does a great job. However, I am finding that the width of the holes is really tight for getting daffodil bulbs planted and I expect the same for the tulips I'll be planting in two days. Plus the recommended depth for some of the bulbs I'm planting is six to eight inches. Since this auger is only seven inches, it makes it difficult to get to the required depth.Many of the bulbs I planted needed to be just four inches down and were pretty small bulbs so this auger was just right for those. But having the 3"x12" auger in addition to this one would be the way I'd want to go for those larger daffodil and tulips bulbs.Also, I would recommend using some 12" kitchen tongs with this auger. Drill the hole, then use the tongs to clean out the hole since dirt will invariably fall back in to the hole. You can also use the tongs to place the bulb upright in the hole since you are not likely going to be able to reach down to the bottom to manipulate the bulb with your fingers.

Found this tool to be a big time-saver. It is sturdy, easy to attach and effective in digging holes needed to plant ground cover (ivy).

I've tried a spade, the hand bulb planter tool, and the pogo stick bulb planter tool. Everything here will make your back hurt. The pogo stick version is the best, but dirt gets stuck in it, so you'll need a pipe to push the mid back out with each hold. It's a pain.The augur still is a bit of a pain, but paired with a corded powerful drill it's almost a pleasure to use. I've hit submerged tree stumps by mistake and the augor starts tearing through the cedar wood easily. If the auger hits rocks, the rocks are vomited out of the hole easily. I was able to plan over a hundred bulbs in half an hour. It's also advisable to use gloves and knee pads with any of these options. I used the auger to plant over two hundred daffs and tulips.

In clean soil this auger is probably great. In rocky soil with interwoven errant roots, it will bind up and can really hurt your wrists if you're not careful. I go in small steps and low power and keep a shovel and axe for the roots handy because new England has more rocks than soil. It is definitely a time and back saver, and it has not dented or chipped when it hit rocks.

Having retired to Roanoke, VA from Colorado, we live in a neighborhood on a large hill. In our backyard we have a steep bowl which is difficult to mow so we decided to replant several iris beds that would be destroyed when our pending patio is built. We have several hundred iris bulbs so digging replanting holes was not what I was looking forward to. Then I discovered Power Planter! What a game changer. This auger is very beefy and well built. It has a squared-off shaft so it won't spin in your drill if it gets into some tough dirt. And it handled the clay soil of Virginia like it was butter. I drilled the first 32 holes in a matter of minutes. I definitely recommend you watch the video on the Power Planter website about how to use this auger. And I have an additional handle on my drill that helped me stabilize while I was drilling the holes. All in all, this is a great tool that I'm sure I'll be using for years. Thank for making a lazy gardener into a happy planter.

I put it on my drill and it augured a perfect hole.

I bought this item this fall to help with planting bulbs. I thought that it would drill a deep enough (6 inches or more) hole to just drop in a bulb. It would only drill down about 5 inches and no more. The ground I was working in was quite moist & dense. I will try it again in spring in dryer soil. I was disappointed in that I ended up using another garden tool to get the job done. Nothing substitutes for good hard work, I guess.

Made bedding out plants much easier and faster. Also does good job breaking up the soil.

I use it with a cordless drill for installing 3' foot long, 2" posts in the ground. Works well in all soil conditions. Good quality.
