works great
Works awesome for post holes. Drill down in your hole and then clean out with post hole digger. As an old man was able to dig 2 ft. holes about as easily as 10 inch holes used to take. Works pretty well and is cheap.

nice and easy to use when drilling.
It fit my drill no problems. Very strong and easy to drill holes in the gravel and in the dirt. Absolutely, great and very sturdy. I would highly recommend it. Easy to use.

Easy work of planting 150 plants
This made very easy work of planting over 150 plants we got from a local garden center. The only reason it has 4 stars is that it comes in 2 parts and is reliant on a couple of hex screws which could create issues with continued torsion stress. Will see how it works over time, but for the price I think it's worth it.

Works really well at shallow depths and with loamy or soft soils
I got this to help me start holes for some bushes and to auger holes for termite-killing stakes. It has worked wonderfully for the later - it goes down easily the first few inches, and a little less easily the rest of the way, just requiring that I pull it out to remove the dirt every few inches. I had more problems with the bushes - it makes too narrow a hole, so I had to make several adjacent holes and scoop out the dirt every few inches. When it hits hard dirt or highly plastic clay, my drill stops turning so I can't go as deep as I would like, but other than that I really like this. It is especially nice that I can use it standing up so I don't have to keep getting on my knees.

Solid Auger that breaks down for storage easily
This auger is solid steel, cuts through sand, dirt, and deals with rocks pretty well. Adapting it to a hammer drill was a win for me - tried a standard drill and lacked some power. Tried to modify the chuck for an impact drill, and it was OK, but not great. Got it into a full size hammer drill and this thing did some serious work.The connection of two pieces concerned me originally, but the construction was very well designed and left very little room for an issue with how tightly the two fit together and were secured. The hardware may become an issue over time but looks to be easy enough to find at a hardware store. Ultimately, I may move away from the zinc bolts and get something a little stronger and a little shorter so the nuts connect and hold flush.This isn’t a fence post auger, but the need to loosen some ground for a pipe, some simple landscaping, or to start a solid hole - this will get the job done.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Just Everything... [ONE STAR]
Call me lazy, but in my defense, I don’t like digging holes and I don’t really know anyone who does. If you tell me you’ve got some way to automate or motorize that task, you have my immediate attention. When Lauyeboho made their 3x35" Auger Drill Bit available on Vine, I clicked the order button without hesitation.Here’s what you get, and here’s the theory: I received an elongated canvas storage bag housing an auger head, an extension shaft, and a plastic baggy that’s supposed to contain hardware and a wrench to attach the extension. When assembled, you’re supposed to be able to chuck this thing in an 3/8-inch electric drill motor, press the trigger, and bore holes into the ground for “... bulbs and potted plants.” Other ad text and graphics claim this is great tool to dig holes with which to “anchor trampolines” and to set fence posts.Sadly, things went south the moment I opened the package. The stub of the auger shaft is female; the extension is male. When mated, the two are intended to be locked together with a two transverse bolts and two nuts. Well, apparently someone at the factory doesn’t know the difference between a nut and a bolt. Instead of enclosing two nuts and two bolts, I received four nuts and nothing else!“No problem,” I thought. “Adapt and overcome.” I joined the shaft halves and inserted two cotter pins to lock them together.Next, I chucked the extension shaft end (which is hexagonal) into my drill motor. I payed out some cord, and moved to a sandy corner of the yard. The geology here traces back to an ancient lake bed... it’s a mix of sand, clay, and gravel. I pulled the trigger, the auger dug about 2 inches into the surface soil until it hit a small rock. The auger jammed and the gearbox in my drill motor spit out three or four teeth. Yeah, seriously. My “free” Vine-review auger just destroyed my drill motor.In retrospect, I should have recognized—up front--that the whole idea behind this tool is flawed. Yeah, you can probably get away with using this thing to bore into soft potting soil or sand at a beach. But a 3-inch auger that encounters a stone or root in any normal setting is going to transmit a substantial torque moment into the drill’s gearbox... likely one that it was likely never designed to tolerate.Who’d have guessed that “free” stuff could be so expensive?

Seems to be decent
I just had my front yard re-done, back in October, and because of that, I will be needing to plant all new flowers and such, in the spring. I got this because I have a bad back, and digging, even small holes, can cause me to have a lot of issues.I tested this out, and it seems to work fine. Put it in to my drill, drilled down, and got a hole.The unit went together well and fairly easily. I had all the parts, so I cannot complain about that.Will it last through multiple seasons and uses? Only time will tell, but it seems to be of decent quality.

Poor
Bolts kept on coming lose and now no longer fits into Drill bit. Disappointed. Waste of £30
