890205 Ultimate Awesome Auger, Silver

This REALLY WORKS, in soil, yard and garden here in Iowa. It cuts digging post holes time in half, it doesn't crumb out completely, but that's not the hard part. I Don't know how it would work in hard rocky ground like in Arizona

First off I did NOT get the drill . . . I already own a Ryobi 18V and used that along with the Awesome Auger. I live on the side of a Ridge in TN . . . Meaning TONS of clay and rocks (dead serious about BOTH) I chose to get the TWO augers (and pay the extra postage to get the extender . . . It ONLY comes if you get the extra auger!!!!!!) I have a bad back and The Claw that I have was killing my back . . . So, I thought this would be a step up and it was. After 2 solid years of working the soil (ie. Rocks and clay with very little soil) they both did break . . . But they do have a Lifetime warrenty . . . I do have to send them back and pay $8.95 for a processing fee (this company seems to make it's money on processng fees!!!) (That's why I refused to get the drill . . . Just for the processing & shipping fees . . . Just TOO MUCH FOR WHAT ONE WAS GETTING!)I have tried many things to work on the ground around my house . . . The Claw and also a rototiller . . . NOTHING WORKED until I got the Awesome Auger . . . Now I do agree it could be welded a bit better . . . BUT IT WORKS!!!! Nothing else breaks up the clay & rocks I have . . . My house has been her 70 years and the yard has NOT been worked on until I moved here! Compact would be a perfect way of describing my yard!! Rocks . . . Are beyond abundant (Now I know why they used rocks to created my basement walls . . . They were the most abundant item around! Seriously . . . Nothing worked, The Claw is hard on ones back (mine is so messed up it is hard for me to use The Claw) and the rototiller just dinged & hopped around because of the abundant rocks (it could never dig in also because of the clay) but the awesome auger was the only thing that worked. I do wish it was made better . . . But to last 2 years through all the rocks & clay that I do have is a miracle . . . But like I said it does have a Lifetime Warrenty!

It has great functionality, but the quality is awfull. First, it is not very balanced, it vibrates itself and your drill apart. Then the parts that are welded broke the minute it encounters a small rock. It was okay while it lasted.

I PURCHASED A WEED GRABBER WHICH BROKE THE AUGER I ONCE HAD I LOST THE ONE PIECE SO I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE AND I WAS GLAD I DID BECAUSE HOOKING IT UP TO MY HUSBANDS POWERFUL DRILL IT IS A GREAT TOOL TO USE FOR GARDENING. IT LETS YOU DRILL A HOLE SO YOU CAN PUT YOUR PLANTS IN THE GROUND AND IT WORKS ON WEEDS TO BUT YOU DO NEED A POWERFUL DRILL FOR THAT AND ALSO IF YOUR GROUND IS HARD.THX AGAINMEDICINE

I have something very similar to this and was looking for a spare. Looking at the photo of the fellow holding the auger, the extension seemed to be 4 feet (like my current one), it's not, it's only two feet....you won't be standing upright using this. Then there's the gauge of the cutting blade....it's very thin, my current one is over twice as thick. If you're using this in potting soil, no problem, other wise I'd pass. I sent it back and was an easy refund from Amazon.

While I see all the points of the previous 1 star reviews the product actually does work pretty well.Pros: It did dig up some pretty hard pack dirt and clay. It is small engough to work around rocks and other obstacles that my 8" 2 man power auger could not. It is larger than most other augers. You get 2 sizes for the price of one.Cons: Extension is definetly not long enough. It broke.When it worked I would say it was 3 stars. I am returning it because it broke, but if it ever comes down under $20 I would pickup another.

There is one device that can really cut down your planting time and that is the Awesome Auger. I have used it for years and selling the one I had when I moved was a tragic mistake. So when I moved into a house that needed new plants my first purchase was the Auger. The real trick in using the Auger is to have a powerful drill that can drive the Auger into soil. I use the Auger to start holes and then finish with the shovel if needed.

Works well but they are smaller diameter that I expected, Nice have multiple sizes for different jobs. they do get down to business in a hurry. Watch out for hit oil if you go deep.
