Review on 3X12 Inch Garden Auger Spiral Drill Bit For Rapid Planting - Fits 3/8" Hex Drive Drill - Ideal For Planting Tulips, Iris, Bedding Plants, And Removing Weeds And Roots by Fernando Beck

Watch out for its power.

. if you don't pulse the auger, it can twist your wrist when it hits a stone or significant root. These augers are not meant to cut through more than minimal roots and certainly not crack stones (it will raise small pebbles with the dirst). But it saved me a LOT of work (I'd been using one of those hand tools for planting bulbs). Could not have gotten the 125 bulb planting done without it.

Pros
  • Saves your back
Cons
  • May not be the best choice for planting small seeds
