VEVOR Auger Drill, 6'' (D) x 35'' (L) Garden Auger Drill Bit with Shock Absorbing Spring , Drill Auger for 7/8’’ Drill, Heavy Duty Garden Auger for Planting Bulbs and Bedding Plants, Digging Hole

These are great for making holes for planting. They make it easy to plant and are a great tool to have.

Wanted a 4 inch drill for transplanting veggie plants. I wasn't sure my cordless drill would handle it though because the 3 inch one from another company would overheat my drill. This Vevor one works unbelievably well. Drilled 4 inch holes smoothly and so well I almost had to hold it back from digging to deep. Well made and would buy again but won't think I'll ever wear this out.

These work good for planting in flower beds. The larger one needs a powerful drill but works good. My wife marks where she wants them in her flower bed and I drill them all at once.

Been wanting to use augers for the garden and planters around the house as the seasons change. These devices had me in and out of the planters in no time at all.. Easiest transition I have ever had..

paint fell off after first use although they remained quite sturdy

Just what my wife needed.

Vevor 10” auger bit used with an earthquake 35064 auger. (Picture shows Vevor on the machine, with Earthquake brand to the right.) Quality: Considering the price difference between this auger bit and an earthquake 10” auger (3x more expensive), I wasn’t expecting much. However, I found that this bit (after drilling 3 holes) seems to be the same initial quality. The only difference is that it uses a pin instead of a bolt to lock the bit to the motor (I like this better). Usage: After using the 8” bit by myself, I would not recommend drilling with the 10” solo. Grab a friend or a spouse, and it will go much better. Solo, it would jerk me around, and I had trouble getting it to cut through roots. With my spouse, I could relatively easily cut through several 1.5-2” roots stacked on top of each other. Shipping: The packaging for shipping could easily be improved. Since the fishtail is just screwed on, they could remove it and ship it in the same box, but in a bag to be installed by the customer. That way, it would ship safer and even smaller. Due to the size and weight, the fishtail point busted through the box, and when the delivery man put it on my porch, it chipped my porch and dented the tip.

This auger drill bit will start to cut into buried stand stone rocks and then stop after the tip is in the rock, spinning in the hole the tip cored into the rock. This acts more like a drill bit than an auger— the wide center shaft pushes into the ground but the narrow spiral auger path does not pull much dirt out of the ground. So it is good if you want clean holes without mounds of dirt by them. I also have a different auger bit that is the same diameter but has a thin 3/8” center shaft, and it makes large mounds of dirt around the hole, excavating the material. This goes deeper and will take on rocks, but it does not lift small rocks out of the hole, it pushes them aside. I tested this in sandy gravel soil, and clay soil. This may be better for clay soil because it breaks up the soil into fine powder more than the small-shaft bit that pulls clay out in large chunks. Seems sturdy. Remember SDS plus is backwards-compatible with SDS. This seems like it will last longer than my thin-shaft auger because it has a replaceable SDS+ adapter, whereas the other thin-shaft auger bit now has a rounded shank. If you don’t need overburden to push back in the hole, this is good. For vertical mulching, I have to bring in backfill for the holes when I use this auger.

Even though this is a heavy duty auger it is NOT designed to fit on a hand drill. Don't even attempt it. The torque for high and difficult to control for an 8in diameter auger. The attempt didn't last long since it burned up the drill with-in 30 seconds. That said if you have a gas powered one man auger machine this should work just fine.

I know it's for planting, however, I bought it to install some 3 inch underslab drain line. So far I have used it to drill starter holes 3 feet deep holes for fencing in clay. Worked great. It did Stress my 1/2" drill which I expected. Wish it came with the drill adapter. I wound up making one out of 3/4 allthread.
