What customers say
Gardeners overwhelmingly praise the Roto Planter Auger for saving significant time and labor when planting bulbs and small perennials. Its robust construction is durable, and the 24-inch length effectively reduces bending and back strain, improving accessibility. The core utility, however, depends entirely on the power tool used; optimal performance requires a high torque brushless drill, ideally 18V or higher. Users find it excellent in loamy soil but note that dense clay or rocky ground can cause binding or drill slippage. Despite minor cosmetic paint chipping, customers view this auger as an essential, efficient investment that makes large planting projects manageable when paired with the correct drill.
