Know before you buy
This auger requires a cordless drill with at least an 18V-20V battery to provide enough torque. It is designed to fit any standard 1/2-inch hex drive drill chuck.
The Laura's Edition auger is optimized for sandy and loamy soil types. If your ground is extremely rocky or dense, heavy clay, you may encounter significant resistance that could strain your drill.
The auger has an overall length of 36 inches, allowing you to reach a maximum planting depth of approximately 35 inches. This makes it ideal for deep-root planting or installing irrigation lines without having to bend over.
Weighing 4.5 lbs, this version is specifically engineered to be slightly lighter than the standard Power Planter augers. Its design is intended to reduce physical strain and back fatigue during extended planting sessions.
The 2-inch diameter is versatile, making it perfect for planting flower bulbs, small plant starts, and grass plugs. It is also an excellent choice for creating narrow holes for landscape lighting or small-diameter watering system tubing.
