I ordered a 3/8 inch auger bit. I was sent a 1/2 inch auger bit.

Great Bit... Perfect Size
This was exactly what I needed. Nice and long -- almost a foot and a half, and performed well. Fit perfectly into my standard Makita 1/2" drill. It did exactly what I needed it to do. I took one star off due to the price. It's available for half this price but I was in a rush. So, either shop it or ask Lowes to price match.

Sharp and Fast
I bought this auger to drill through my dock pilings to secure my floating dock during the last hurricane. The auger cut right through the 12" diameter saturated pilings without getting pinched or overheating. I definitely recommend this item for your next job.
