The auger planting auger is designed with a new upgraded bit and more augers on the solid shaft to ensure 10 times more efficient digging, greatly increasing your planting efficiency and giving you more time to enjoy the planting season. The planting auger for the auger is made of heavy-duty steel and is painted black for long life. The extended 16.5-inch length allows you to stand up and dig holes for planting instead of bending over, making it a must-have tool for the planting season. Heavy-duty solid shaft works on any type of soil The auger bit measures 1.6 inches in diameter and 16.5 inches in length, making it suitable for planting a variety of bulbs and flowers of different sizes. 16.5 inches in length also prevents you from straining your back and eliminates the need to bend over to dig holes the traditional way with a shovel. The auger has a small hole in the pointed triangular bit for easy hanging storage when not in use. Fits any 3/8" hex drive bit, use a bit with an adjustable drill chuck to fit any size auger and you will never have to worry about whether the auger will fit your bit. We recommend using an 18V or larger cordless auger. Set includes 1.6x16.5 inch solid shaft dense blade auger bit and 2 mini gardening tools (to help you transplant seedlings and drill potting holes.) Great gift for anyone who enjoys gardening work and will help them grow potted plants, vegetables, flowers, bulbs, soil, paint and more. Also bring a drill on vacation to drill a hole in the sand to secure your beach umbrella and outdoor tent.
