The drill does what it is supposed to do, but the point where the drill narrows to fit the drill seems weak. I drilled 2 holes and started a third when the auger broke off part of the drill bit. I dug into the ground when it happened and rendered it useless. I returned it for an identical replacement that did the job but be careful if you plan on using it frequently or going in depth. 4 stars for quick replacement but you get what you pay for and it was very cheap for a 3.5" x 12" drill bit.
