My wife asked me to drill 30 holes for some plants that she wanted to plant. She didn't want me to use a shovel, so she "forced" me to buy that. I really didn't mean to, but she's the boss. right guys? They have 2 augers, I really didn't think they would last very long, I thought the welds would break, but I made all 30 holes with ease. He even chewed on some roots that were 1-2 inches in diameter. That really surprised me, that's the end of the story. These Boers will last you a long time if they happen to get lost in my son's house and I need them. again I will just buy some more. The price was right.
