Keyfit Tools G.S.I. Contractor Grade Garden Stake Installation Tool Drill Bit Fast & Easily Install Garden Stakes Even in Frozen Soil Fiberglass Plant Support Stakes Tomato Cage Rebar Steel J Hook

I had to put plastic net around several garden patches of about 16 ft x 4 ft and each patch needed about 6-8 stakes. I was looking for a tool to make 3/4 in x 18 in holes. Keyfit Tools G.S.I. Contractor Grade Garden Stake Installation Tool Drill Bit came handy. It made holes of 1/2 in x 12 in holes. I enlarged and deepened the holes with a 3/4 in x 36 in stake. Then pushed the 8 ft garden stakes into the ground and put net around tied it to the stake with plastic coated metal twist ties. Without the tool it would have been hard to make those perfect holes (about 40 holes) for the garden stakes.

I live in Alabama where my yard is basically a big pile of hard red clay that becomes rock hard. So when I wanted to install 17 tomato cages I knew I needed something to help me get 51 stakes into the ground. I was really skeptical when I purchased this as other items have been rendered useless due to our clay. However others had reviewed it well, I needed to try something as I knew I couldn’t install 51 stakes without some kind of help and it was less than $25; so I thought I’d take a chance. I’m so glad I did. I was able to install 51 stakes in around 2 hours with mostly little effort taking my time to hydrate in our Southern heat and humidity. There were some holes that gave me difficulty but I blame that on either hitting a rock or trying to drill into an especially hard clay dirt area. Spots that didn’t have that, had the drill go in like butter; very quickly and with ease. In short, I highly recommend this and it was money well spent.

I tried to use this with the five foot green garden stakes, this was an extremely frustrating experience. I got what looks like a concrete drilling bit with the flat tip, goes through the ground just fine but the poles don't fit. I measured the bit, looks like the wide part at the end of the bit is 1/2" but the shaft is actually 3/8". I would drill the hold in the ground and then literally pound the stake with a rubber mallet, it wouldn't go in all the way so I pulled it back out and drilled again, even tried to work my drill bit side to side to get the hole bigger and most still wouldn't go all the way down the hole. Now my poles are not even, twenty four bucks for a bit I can't use and I'm sure it's too beat up to return. I'd look somewhere else for a bit to make holes for your garden stakes...

Love this garden drill ... makes it easy to drill the holes for the 5 FT+ garden rods ... especially if you have hard, sandy, dry ground where you want the stakes like I do here in Arizona ... just drill to the hilt and slide the garden rod into the hole ... eazy-peazy

I just used this drill bit to pre-drill for posts around my garden. It is an ingenious idea for a tool. It made my job much easier than it would have been without it. I love it. It appears to be durable; so far so good.

This makes planting bulbs much easier. Would definitely recommend.

It did it’s job & made it so much easier to get the stakes in!

Jus5 what I expected.
