32" x 2" Upgraded Elongated Auger Drill Bit- No Need to Squat Post Hole Digger,100% Solid Barrel Extended Length Intensive Blades Heavy Duty Green Auger Drill Bit for Planting for 3/8" Hex Drive Drill

Bought this auger to use to run a water pipe under a sidewalk where I did not want the mess of using a hose to blast out a channel under the concrete. The auger worked surprisingly well although I had to rig up an extension to make it all the way across. You just have to go slowly and frequently pull out the auger to allow debris ejection otherwise debris will accumulate in the hole and jam things up. After successfully completing the project I used the auger to help my wife plant bushes in the yard. Amazingly, the auger handled some pretty rocky and root filled soil. Yes, the hexagonal tip on the shaft sheared off but the shaft still chucked up in the drill. BTW I'm using a Milwaukee 18 v Fuel brush-less drill/driver for this with the T-handle attached. It is rugged enough to handle the punishment that would probably kill most 18v drills out there (I have no connection to Milwaukee just mentioning the brand of drill because it will take a lot of punishment). Be careful or you can strain your wrist if you hit a rock or snag. Just put the drill in reverse and then go at it again. So far I have dug 20 holes with it that are 2 feet deep and about 18 inches wide. After using the auger to loosen things up, I use a post hole digger to remove the dirt from the hole when it is 1 foot deep. Then I drill down the second foot and use the auger to loosen things up. Then add compost and fertilizer to the hole and use the auger to mix everything up. Then the plant goes in and the dirt removed in the first step is mixed with compost and fertilizer in a 5 gallon bucket with the auger and then used to fill in the gaps along the side of the plant. All the welds are solid and the shaft is still straight despite having taken a LOT of punishment. Pleasantly surprised at the effectiveness of this product and how much labor it has saved (along with my back)!

Great strong auger

Great item, easy to use, makes yard work easier

Works well and clean most of the time. Would have been better if it was a bit wider.

Great Value...Plenty of length

I used this auger to drill about 35 holes for fence post sleeves in extremely hard, poorly drained clay soil during a drought year using a 1/2 inch hammer drill. It worked well right up until the end when the shaft snapped off at the drill chuck. When it hit even harder soil below, it would bind and the drill would torque my hands, but the auger held steady, until that happened. I continued to use it anyway and it still works, but is a little shorter. It does wobble, but that wasn't really an issue once it got into the ground a few inches. The tip and auger spirals lost paint, but otherwise held together and worked well. I may order another.

works just as advertised.

I read the review about the 7mm adapter. This was too small, and the 8mm was too big. 9/32 and 5/16 didn't work either. The chuck on my drill shreds the hex tip and I've already had to replace the auger due to not having any way for my drill to grip. Great Auger otherwise. If anyone knows how to prevent this please let me know.

Good product, saved along of time installing fence posts. Product took a good beating ND kept on working.

Awesome tool

Me ayudó mucho un buen mensaje en inglés sobre una persona que lo usó para hacer un agujero horizontal bajo una banqueta, él da tips importantes que ayudan mucho a usar esta herramienta. Mi objetivo era realizar un minitunel de 180 cm bajo losa, el trabajo me fue complicado y requirió bastantes herramientas y cosas. Haré un resumen enfocándome en el producto y dejaré para un video de youtube el detalle. Ocupé primero una broca similar pero de 18" para hacer los agujeros guía de ambos lados y luego esta broca de 32". Lo hice con un taladro maki ta, importantísimo que tenga control de velocidad y dirección. A veces por una piedra en el camino que actua como rosca la broca se atora y solo sale empleando el cambio de dirección del taladro. En mi caso encontré un obstáculo muy adentro, casi en medio de mi hueco por lo que tuve que comprar una barreta de 1m para librarlo. Otro problema fue que por las características del trabajo,la situación-entorno y cero experiencia, pero con conocimientos de ingeniería, no logré conectar los huecos fácil, tuve que usar la barreta y esta broca de 32" para socabar un extremo que permitia juego angular, haciendo un poco cono con base adentro y poder lograr encontrar el otro hueco. Luego de 3 sesiones de trabajo y unas 15 hrs en total logré conectar ambos lados para pasar un alambre guía (mi objetivo es pasar una tuberia de agua de extensión). Esta broca hizo el trabajo esperado bien, si bien no basta para librar piedras importantes (más grandes que el diámetro) que puedan encontrarse, para eso la barreta fue igual fundamental.

Practico y de buen material, excelente para el uso, supero su calidad x precio. Gracias.

Works great
