Its precision bulb shape allows for aggressive cleaning without pipe damage.

Know before you buy
This auger is designed to attach to any standard cordless drill. Ensure your drill chuck is tightened securely around the shank before beginning your planting project.
The T-203 creates a 7/8-inch diameter hole. While it is optimized for smaller bulbs, you can use it for larger varieties by drilling multiple adjacent holes to create a wider planting space.
The durable RIDGID construction is built for repeated use, but performance in rocky soil may vary. It excels in loose or garden-variety soil, though you may need to clear debris manually if you encounter significant rocks.
The depth of your planting hole is determined by how far you plunge the auger into the ground. Since it is a continuous drill bit, you can reach the desired planting depth for most standard spring and summer bulbs with ease.
To keep the tool in top condition, simply wipe off excess dirt and moisture after each use to prevent corrosion. Storing it in a dry place will ensure the metal remains in good shape for future seasons.
