Product DescriptionThe 2'' diameter Heavy Duty Garden Auger by Custom Auger Systems is the perfect planting auger for smaller bulbs like the crocus or miniature dahlia and gladiolus. Also an excellent tool for drilling pilot holes for tree and fertilizer stakes, and installing termite bait stations.
Features a hardened knife-like cutter blade that slices through harder ground and clay. Designed with three flats on the end of the shaft to keep the auger from slipping in your drill chuck.
Fits household drills 3/8'' diameter and larger. Any corded drill provides plenty of power; if using a cordless drill, 18 volts are recommended.
What Others Say
heavy duty hole maker
I bought this to drill holes into my heavy clay soil to drop in tree food spikes for my trees. So I'm going through grass/sod, roots, and the occasional thumb sized rock.
Once the top grass/sod is out of the way (all augers I've owned have trouble with this) it drives deep and cuts through the roots. Works pretty well.
The bevel on the drill end is pretty minor - almost non-existant. And there's only one bevel, so you'll have to tighten the chuck pretty well -exactly- on that one bevel to make sure this doesn't slip.... That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Worth the extra cost........Much better than those sold by others....
I own 7 augers that I purchased from Custom Auger, including a few of their high end industrial models.
There is abig diference in theirs compared with the less expensive others sold on Amazon and hardware stores.
The difference is the cutting edge. It is made of much heavier steel.
Their service is beyond excellent. They ship on the same or next business day by Priority Mail. I usually get them in two or three days. You can't beat Tom and Becky. They are a family husband and wife business.
If you want the auger to last, buy from Custom Auger. If you want it for two or three holes, the cheap ones "MIGHT" do.
