There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Only problem is that, Now, I have no excuse for planting a few hundred bulbs.
What I liked:
- simple design, good construction
- it makes holes in dirt
- saves me time and effort!
What I did not like:
-the auger does not pull as much dirt from the hole as I was imagining. Not a big deal though.
-weight: this auger is heavy and very long, so on the end of a standard hand drill, the balance feels off, but you get used to it.
Tips:
-Wear eye protection - this thing is moving very fast and can throw small pieces of debris.
-Dry compacted dirt makes things much more difficult. Wet the ground and it will slice through more easily.
-You may want to use two hands to use your drill: your hand drill likely has a lot of power and when the auger gets stuck, the torque will be transferred to your hand and wrist.
-For anyone who doesn't understand what this is designed for: this will not dig large holes like post holes. That said, I did use it for breaking up the ground in a few problem areas where I did need to dig a large hole.
appears to be made of good quality material.
So far it seems strong and well made. It can take a few attempts to get the shaft to be tightened into the chuck in the drill. Perhaps I didn't get it lined upright as it worked better today.

Al utilizar con taladro ocupen una velocidad baja, y el torque en 5 o 7 dependiendo de su taladro, si ocupan mucha fuerza y presión el taladro se irá hacia abajo muy rápido y probablemente se sobrecaliente.
