It’s important to make sure you have the proper drill or power engine for your Power Planter Bulb Auger & Bedding Plant Tool 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
Minimum power requirement for 7” length = 14V cordless drill.
Minimum power requirement for 24” or greater length = 18V – 20V cordless drill.
For mass planting, use an electric drill with a side handle.
Longer length augers tend to benefit from higher voltage power drills.
