I used these to help set up termite bait stations. The drill did an excellent job of loosening the bottom and creating a hole for the bait. I installed 10 stations and had no problem getting them through the soil and through the small roots. The only problem I had was that the bit that attached it to my drill wasn't very tight, so holding the auger down would cause the auger to fall out and have to be reattached. A small point of criticism, but it was noticed as annoying.
