This single-piece auger is made from manganese steel for strength and durability. It uses a spiral flute design (2 flutes) and a 3/8-inch hex shank to fit standard drills; for best results, the brand recommends using an 18V or higher drill.
It’s also a handy multi-purpose bit for light-duty outdoor projects beyond gardening—like setting small beach umbrellas or placing bird feeder poles—especially in sandy, loamy, or relatively soft clay soils. It’s not recommended for ground packed with rocks or dense roots, where any auger can struggle or bind.
1.6″ cutting diameter with 16.5″ length for fast hole digging
Manganese steel construction for durability
3/8″ hex drive fits standard drills (18V+ recommended)
Spiral, 2-flute design to move soil efficiently
Best suited for sandy, loamy, and relatively soft clay soils; not ideal for rocky/root-heavy ground
Affiliate tip: Pair this with a compatible cordless drill and take short pulses as you drill to help keep the hole clean and reduce binding—especially in heavier clay.
