What customers say
This auger is highly valued for transforming tedious planting tasks into efficient, low-impact work.

Know before you buy
This auger features a 3/8-inch non-slip hex drive that fits most standard cordless drills. For the best performance, we recommend using a drill with at least 18V or 20V of power.
The auger is designed to pulverize tough dirt clods and works well in most garden soils. However, it is classified for light-duty use, so it may struggle if your ground is filled with large rocks or dense, compacted clay.
The auger creates a hole 2 inches in diameter and can reach a maximum planting depth of 6 inches. This makes it ideal for grass plugs, small annuals, and bulbs.
Because the auger drills a precise, narrow hole, you can safely use it near established plants. It allows you to add new annuals or irrigation lines to existing beds without disturbing the root systems of your current flowers.
No assembly is required. It attaches directly to your cordless drill chuck, allowing you to start planting immediately.
