What Customers Are Saying

This bulb planter tool received mixed reviews. While some found it useful for planting bulbs in soft soil, many reported issues with the quality and durability. Common complaints included the poor construction, with the plastic handle and components breaking easily. The tool also struggled with harder, compacted, or clay-like soil. On the positive side, some appreciated the spring-loaded release mechanism that helped eject the soil. Overall, this appears to be an affordable but low-quality tool that may work well in ideal conditions but is not durable enough for regular, heavy-duty use.

It cannot withstand dry compacted soil.

Works ok in soft soil but in dry or clay like soil it immediately broke. The rivets that hold it together are small and cheaply made, that’s what broke. Also pressing into the soil the plastic handle would sag, I was afraid it would break.
