   I rarely leave reviews so when I do pay attention.
   I live in mid-state South Carolina where the soil is neither sand or clay, it is mostly like asphalt and you never use a shovel to dig a hole, A pickaxe is the only tool that gets the job done. I used these augers on the end of my corded drill (my cordless just didn't have enough power) and they powered through dirt, rock, and roots in seconds to make a hole for my plantings. If I needed a larger hole, I just used it to ream out the sides of the hole until it met my needs. These augers are solidly built and can handle just about any digging chore.
   The only thing I would caution you about is to go slow when drilling and "feel" for obstructions. The auger can get temporarily caught on a root or rock formation and jerk the drill out of your hands. I learned that by slowing down and moving more deliberately I was able to overcome this issue. This is a purchase you will not regret

   Not your wimpy garden tool. Heavy and strong steel. This will last a lifetime. I wish they had a option for different sized bits. The 4” is great, but a 3” or 2 1/2” exchangeable bit would make this the more perfect tool.

   It drills a hole very well even through hard packed dirt but throws the dirt everywhere so you need a bag of dirt to fill the hole

   I used the largest auger with my cordless drill to plant bare root trees and shrubs. I was concerned that the cordless drill might not have enough power to drill in drier, hard soil, but it worked very well. The battery lasted to drill 80 holes and still had charge left. The auger made a hole that was adequate size to plant the trees and shrubs and saved a lot of digging with a shovel. The smaller augers would probably work for smaller plants and bulbs, but I haven't tried doing that.

   The set is very will built and pushes dirt very well. It's a bit tough in packed, dry soil but if you have normal ground moisture it should do just fine. One warning: You need a powerful battery drill of no less than 24volts or you will run out that battery very fast. I had to switch to a corded (hammer) drill because my 18volt couldn't handle it. The corded drill was a bit overkill but it got the job done.

   This hand drill auger came packaged well and was very easy to assemble. It works perfectly well for my purpose, which is gardening. The height is appropriate. It lets me get the proper leverage to push down while I'm turning it without having to go uncomfortably low.

   We used the larger one to plant over 100 white pine saplings. It worked perfectly! We plan to use all of them for the garden this year... Just need to keep the drill battery charged.
   Also, make sure to use your leg or something to help support your wrists when drilling. It really digs down deep quickly and can torque your arm pretty hard.

   I really expected that the first root I hit was going to bend the blades. Nope... I was boring next to a huge pine tree with more roots than you can imagine... unless you've dug next to a pine tree. lol It tore thru the many feeder roots and my drill would stall when I hit larger roots. I dug 6- 3 inch diameter holes. Each hole took about 30 seconds to 1 minute to complete with me rocking the auger side-to-side to make the diameter wider. Blades were undamaged E-Z to use. Had to laugh about the glove with wolverine claws on the fingers. I didn't use it but it reminded me of the old Soupy Sales show with White Fang and Black Fang. (:

   Because of the low price I got these out of sheer curiosity to e see if I could dig post holes with the bigger size and planting holes for bulbs. Turns out they worked great - way better than expected and it wasn’t too heavy a job for my 20v drill. I dug 18”x18” post holes for a 3ft picket fence and quickly got all my bulbs planted. I’ll never use an awkward post hole digger again.
