Customer Reviews

Power Tools Meets Gardening
I bought this router because I wanted to plant 200+ bulbs. It works well, even in clay, for digging holes. Be careful with the 24 inch router because it might be too large for your job. I found that it worked best to start digging holes for larger plants. I couldn't space the holes as close as I wanted for the bulbs because of the 2.75 inch diameter. The smaller 1.75 one would probably be best for bulbs. I inserted the router into a hammer drill (extra handle gives great leverage for tough clay). The router slipped out once from the drill but only because I hit a few big rocks. It will cut through small roots if the drill it is attached to is strong enough.

Used to plant flower bulbs, worked well.
With this auger in a Dewalt cordless drill, my wife and I planted 60 lily and Jonquil bulbs in less than 45 minutes. The auger worked well. Very pleased with the purchase.

Bulb planter
I purchased this to plant tulip bulbs. I was able to plant 100 bulbs in a couple of hours. The drill held the auger tight and the construction of the planter blades held even though I was drilling through rocky, clay soil.
