Ratings & Reviews for Lowe's 24.5-in Bulb Auger

Broke on first hour of use.

Broke the spiral blade at all 3 weld points on day one of use.

Easy to use

Great tool for harder clay soils. This is great for planting bulbs in woods or natural areas. Make sure you use a suitable drill .

Works great!

Works great!

Used

When I buy something from Lowes, I expect to get a new product unless otherwise stated. This came in quickly but it apparently was a previous return. The clear packaging was already opened and dort was still on the blades. Would have to return even if it wasnt previously used because it does not fit in my drill. Don't understand why.

Worked well

Does what it claims to do. Works well in non-rocky soil, works easier in damp ground.

Don't waste the money. Lasted about 15 minutes

Broke on the second hole.

Not well made

Broke first time we used it.

This tool cuts planting 4” pots of annuals and pla

Finally a product that does a great job and lives up to it’s claims

Square shaft to fit in drill is bad

Most drills use a three point system in the chuck to secure bits, which works with hex or round. Doesn't work to well with square. Kept shaking the chuck open and the auger falling out before I could even finish a hole.

Auger headache

It did one hole perfect but broke doing the next one. The ground was not hard at all. The center section went in and came out no problem but the spiral barely went in the second time before breaking free of the center piece. I had to use a regular wood drill bit to make the holes I needed. I do not recommend unless you are digging into mud.

Great tool

After the hurricane, my fence had fallen down in multiple places. I use this tool to loosen up the dirt so I can dig for post holes. After using it the first time I noticed it basically removed all the dirt by itself.

Auger snaps off even in soft soil

10 bulbs into planting 120 the auger snapped off the stem. Slips up and down. Absolute trash.

Garden Soil Auger

Auger is designed for loose, previously tilled, garden soil. Don't expect this product to work at heavy duty jobs like a 3-point hitch attachment.

Know your soil

The first 14 inches of my ground is sand. Very easy to auger. BUT, then i havr hard clay and rock. I used a standard drill, but ultimately had to swith to my impact drill to get down to 24 inches.
