Review on Gardening Auger Drill Bit Set - 3X9" And 1.6X9" Spiral Auger Bits For Planting Bulbs, Flowers, And Posts With 3/8" Hex Drive Drill Bulb Planter And Post Hole Digger by Joshua Romero

Useful & sturdy but hands/wrists still get a workout

I’m using this to plant egg-sized bulbs. Makes nice holes but avoid using immediately after a rain as too messy—wait a day or two. If you’re planting around a tree, know that the auger will struggle as much as if hand digging, so have a cutting tool ready to cut thru roots as they come up. My spouse wasnt happy that I used his newest drill for this task b/c dirt got in the nooks & crannies. It didn’t ruin the drill but be prepared to clean/wipe the drill. A final tip is to simply pull out the drill once the hole has been made. If instead of pulling you set the drill in reverse mode, the dirt you just removed will fall right back into the hole.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Could be less precise when it comes to positioning of posts or fencing
