Power Your Auger
The power is in your hands. It’s important to make sure you have the proper drill or power engine for your Power Planter Auger and your project. The right drill or power engine helps you get the best possible performance out of your auger – and ensures your planting or digging project is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Please note: These are general recommendations. Power requirements may differ based on soil type and project specifications. These are only suggestions – we are not experts in soil composition.
Power Requirements by Diameter
For minimal planting, use an electric drill with a side handle.
An Auger Powerhead is recommended, but these diameters can also be used with a large electric drill.

I ordered the 5 inch auger and I was really surprise it was delivered in 4 days, just in time for our project. We used the auger to drill fence posts and we had no problem with it. It did the job and the auger is just very excellent quality. I recommend DoMyOwn to take care of your garden and lawn needs.
I highly recommend it.

I bought the 5 inch Auger to deal with tree roots that impinge on my garden beds. I previously had to dig out the beds with a shovel which was extremely time consuming. With the auger my time for this process has been reduced to about 10 to 20 percent of the time I previously spent. It also reaches to a depth of about a half a foot deeper than I reached with a shovel, close to two feet deep. I highly recommend it for this use. (I originally tried the 9 inch auger but it was too hard to handle with a half inch drill in ground that had not been previously disturbed.)
