An auger is a device used for drilling holes in the ground. It consists of a steel shaft with a helical blade attached to the end. The auger is rotated by a handle, which turns the blade and drills into the ground. Augers can be used in wet soil, but they are not as effective as they are in dry soil. The blade will slip more easily in wet soil and will not drill as deep. It is still possible to use an auger in wet soil, but it will take longer to drill the hole.
An auger is a tool used for drilling holes in the ground. It consists of a handle with a spiral bit at the end. The auger is rotated by the handle, which turns the bit and digs into the ground. Augers are often used to drill holes for fence posts, trees, and other purposes. They can also be used to excavate roots. However, augers are not the best tool for cutting roots. A saw or shovel is more effective for cutting roots.
How big of an auger do I need is a common question when people are planning to buy an auger. The size of the auger will depend on the job you need it for. If you need it for a small job, such as drilling a hole for a post, then a small auger will do. However, if you need it for a bigger job, such as digging a hole for a tree, then you will need a bigger auger.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, such as the type and size of auger, the type of soil, and the amount of water in the soil. Generally speaking, however, a one man auger can dig to a depth of around 2-3 meters (6-10 feet).

The hefty gauge steel used in the auger's construction and the shaft's robust welds allowed it the strength to bore through both loose dirt and compacted clay soil. The auger has a thick coat of paint that will assist prevent corrosion. There is nothing about this auger that I dislike, and I would advise people looking for a good auger at a fair price to buy it.

I'm really sorry. I really want you folks to know how amazing this item is! It took me roughly 3.5 hours to use it to plant 108 liriope (including digging out some rock, and mixing in planting soil, etc.) There is no way in the world that I could have completed that task by hand. I used to have to chisel a little hole into our rough, red clay yard for about ten minutes. However, this program made the task incredibly simple. I still had to dig out some bigger boulders with a spade and cut through some roots. It helped me 'assist' in digging considerably larger holes for 13 shrubs the following day. I was surprised by how much 'help' it provided. In the majority of cases, I was able to complete 85% of the digging with the auger by angling it. I used the auger to create a hole, then removed the earth to make room for more dirt and dug deeper. I took less than 10 minutes to dig each hole, which was roughly 10" wide and 14" deep. I'll say it again: there is no way in hell I could have done all that digging by hand. I adore this item. Seriously.I have to rely on my boyfriend to dig holes for me because I lack the strength (or aim) to use a pick axe or pole digger. Now that I can do it myself, I'll plant a lot more things. Yay!!!A couple of points: As was already indicated, you still have to contend with rocks and roots. Use two hands to control and exert a little bit more pressure while holding the drill, but be careful not to lose control if the bit gets on a root. If you don't let go, it will naturally jerk your wrist quite a bit. I occasionally have to turn the drill around to free the auger. My BF changed the drill's setting to "hammer," which was really effective. He had to adjust his grip a few times as well. You should be aware that using this auger will seriously foul up your drill. Be prepared to thoroughly clean the drill because it produces a lot of dust (particularly if you have red clay like we do). I didn't notice that the drill's power ran out rapidly (it had a replaceable battery, possibly a 9 volt, which I did once for the 13 larger holes and twice for the 108 smaller holes).

I was a little dubious when I first saw this product on an infomercial. I adore seeing daffodils, hyacinths, and mucaris in the early and late spring, but I was never able to plant any of them due to my severe back and neck pain. I took a risk and purchased this auger from Amazon, and WOW! At long last, a product that delivers on its promises! I adore it! I'll never understand why one of these wasn't created sooner. I bought a 12-inch auger from Amazon because I adore it so much. I have roughly 100 more bulbs to plant after having planted over 150 over the last two weekends. I'm really anticipating seeing all of my lovely bulbs blossom in the spring. It's a fortunate thing that all three of these bulbs are animal and deer resistant. Simply insert this auger into your drill to quickly drill holes ranging in depth from an inch to several inches, place your flower bulb into the hole, cover it with dirt, and then sit back and enjoy the lovely blossoms the following spring. Absolutely no cons, only positives!

Both augers simply fit into the chuck of a 20V medium duty rechargeable drill and are of great quality. In less than a minute, they cut through the soil and leave a tidy hole. I appreciate the two sizes because many applications simply don't require the 3" holes. The gloves that come with it are of excellent quality, and the claws actually easily dig into the ground. Overall, a fantastic bundle that was well worth the cost.

I received the soil auger as promised, and it is a reliable tool that is highly practical. Our soil is a solid clay. As anticipated, the auger bore through the clay but was firmly held there. I quickly figured out to drill an inch, draw back, drill a bit, and then pull back because simply turning the drill around made it come straight back out. quickly dug 50 holes for large-rooted bare-root plants, which wasn't an issue (spread 1 - 2" and up to 7" long). A 1/4" dowel or stick is useful for pushing and directing the roots into the hole. Overall, extremely happy with the auger and will undoubtedly use it to plant all the daffodil bulbs I intend to place in a few months (Sept.).

The tougher clay soil we have in eastern Nebraska made it difficult to plant the tulip bulbs my wife purchased. I tried using big drill bits, little hand shovels, and other tools to dig a hole deep enough for a few dozen light bulbs. I had a couple things that sort of worked, but it took a while for each bulb. Hey, someone must create a tool for this, I reasoned. Yes, it's here.The shaft should be ground down into three flats, as some have advised, to prevent slipping in the drill. I put it to the test after doing that.WOW.Tulip bulbs took me approximately 30 seconds to plant.However, if you're using a nice drill, take extra care. I was working with a strong corded Dewalt drill. Put this auger into the ground SLOWLY. If you're not careful, it will soon grip you and pull you down, almost ripping your hands off. Drilling should be done at a moderate speed; if you drill as quickly as your drill is capable of, dirt will fly everywhere.

I got a drill bit extension along with this auger. I was able to quickly and easily clean out the sump in my yard drains after connecting the two. A pair of rubber-coated gloves were included with the auger. Plastic claws on the right hand were used for digging. The plastic in the gloves burned. I washed them and set them outside to dry. The odor vanished.

I like to do things on my own, so I asked my husband to gift me a new drill for Christmas. My drills are used for a variety of tasks, including cleaning the bathtub and home repair chores. When I was recently searching gardening websites, I came these digger attachments, and I thought they might be good for helping me dig out my failing zucchini plants this week. I let this loose on weeds in my flower beds on my way to the garden. My kids refer to them as sticker bushes because of their throne-shaped leaves, however I'm not sure what their exact name is. I also recall painful childhood recollections of these plants tearing into my feet. This is fantastic because it just took ten minutes to exterminate the entire colony of whatever they are. Some of them were fairly enormous. I then used it to weed the garden a little bit overall in addition to removing my dead plants. If I don't try to plant some fall greens, I won't be able to say for sure until next spring how useful this will be for planting. The only problem I can see is that I'll need to charge my drill more frequently. The battery life is excellent because I seldom ever charge it, however this did consume some battery power. If your drill only accepts a standard size, plan on utilizing your more adaptable hammer drill because the head is also not a typical size and is a little larger.

exceeded and met expectationsThe package was properly wrapped and dispatched.Setup was quite simple. You just need to prime, add 50:1 gas, and you're off. (They even provided a bottle of premix oil. I already have some, but it's still really beneficial for people who don't.)Gas leaks have been a source of complaints. I had no prior knowledge of this. Even when I turned the appliance upside down and left it there for 15 minutes, there was no leak at all. Just make sure the gas cap is aligned and straight when you screw it on. We have other folks, I bet, who were rushing and didn't put it on straight.I also bought the Eskimo 18-inch extender, which fits perfectly (see picture)Additionally, I would advise you to save the original box and packaging because they are an excellent method to store the item while not in use. The gas cap can be upright (vertical) and stored with the auger in the box without any problems due to long-term storage (see picture)best purchase in a while. passed easily through rocks and tightly packed clay. Although it beats hand digging four feet down, I did have to manually dig any stones that were over three inches.Completely endorse this.Rent vs. buy, and buying is always the safe bet.

I have planted more than 1,000 bulbs with this specific auger; it is quick and simple and the only way to plant a lot of bulbs! Drill down, stick a bulb in, kick the soil back in, tamp down, and you're done. This method works amazing and saves a ton of time. or drill several holes at once, put the bulbs in, cover, and finish! even better, have one person drill while the other person plants! The squared end that goes into the drill cracked off after a while, which was a little problem given the amount of power and torque used on it. Just reground a new square, and you're ready to go! One thing to keep in mind when using this or any auger is that if you get caught in a rock or a tree root, it will stop dead in its tracks and twist your wrists and arms to hell! If you are only planting in garden beds, it's a piece of cake, but be ready for this if you know you will come across roots or rocks because it can and will damage you. One thing I did to avoid damaging my wrists when working around roots and rocks was to lock the drill's battery end between my knees while still gripping it with a death grip.
An 8-foot post should be set in the ground at a minimum depth of 2 feet. For posts set in concrete, the hole should be a minimum of 3 feet deep. The hole should be wide enough to accommodate one-third of the post's width.
When putting up a fence, one of the most important things to consider is how deep you should set the posts in the ground. This will depend on a few factors, such as the height and weight of the fence, the type of soil, and the climate. In general, you should set fence posts in the ground at least 2 feet deep. This will ensure that they are sturdy enough to support the fence, especially in windy or rainy conditions. If you live in an area with particularly heavy rains or high winds, you may want to set the posts even deeper, to
There is no definitive answer to how far apart 4x4 posts can be, as it depends on a number of factors such as the type of fence being built, the weight of the fence, the soil type, and the climate. Generally speaking, however, 4x4 posts can be spaced anywhere from 6 to 8 feet apart.
Assuming you are talking about a hand auger, it would take approximately 15 minutes to dig a post hole that is 1 foot deep by 6 inches wide.
For a small auger, you need around 2 horsepower. For a mid-sized auger, you need around 3 horsepower. For a large auger, you need around 5 horsepower.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the specific needs of the person using the auger. A one-man auger may be better for someone who needs to do a lot of drilling in a short amount of time, while a two-man auger may be better for someone who needs to drill deeper holes or who will be using the auger for a longer period of time. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which type of auger is best for their needs.
