Power Planter augers offer a superior experience for work in the garden or yard, combining durability, efficiency, and comfort. With over 30 years in the business, Power Planter stands behind its products with an unconditional guarantee.

A Power Planter auger is an investment in a reliable, long-lasting tool that can make your days in the garden more enjoyable.
Key Features
Hex Head Design: Power Planter augers feature a hex head that stays secure in the drill chuck, even when working in stubborn, compacted soil. This design prevents the auger from slipping from the grip of the drill’s chuck, ensuring a smooth and efficient digging process.
5/8” Thick Solid Steel Shaft: The shaft of Power Planter augers is made from 5/8” thick solid steel. This robust construction ensures the shaft can withstand high pressure without bending, providing a long-lasting tool that can handle even the toughest gardening tasks.
Extra Thick Flighting: The flighting on Power Planter augers is extra thick, ensuring a consistent and even pitch. This design allows for efficient soil displacement, throwing soil up and out of the hole for a quick and easy digging experience.
Solid, Thick, and Consistent Welds: Power Planter augers are characterized by their solid, thick, and consistent welds. Highly skilled American workers do these high-quality welds and contribute to the overall durability and longevity of the tools.
Balanced Design: Power Planter augers are designed to rotate without vibration. This balanced design not only makes the tool easier and more comfortable to use, but it also protects you and your drill from potential damage caused by intense vibrations.
Unconditional Guarantee: We stand behind our products with an unconditional guarantee at Power Planter. This commitment to customer satisfaction is a testament to the quality and reliability of our augers.
Cheap Competitors
Even though cheaper competitor augers may seem like a bargain, their inferior design and construction can lead to a host of problems.
Key Issues
Rounded Drill Attachment: Cheap competitor augers often feature a rounded drill attachment. This design can lead to the auger slipping in the drill chuck, making your drilling tasks more difficult and less efficient.
Thin ¼” Shaft: The shafts of many bargain brand augers are typically only ¼” thick. This thin construction can bend under pressure, reducing the tool’s lifespan and making it less reliable.
Thin Flighting with Uneven Pitch: The flighting on inferior competitor augers is often thin and features an uneven pitch. This design can result in deformations to the auger’s flighting that result in inefficient soil displacement and even safety risks.
Small, Weak Tack Welds: Cheaply made augers are often characterized by small, weak tack welds. These inferior welds can compromise the durability and longevity of the tool.
Unbalanced Design: Cheap competitor augers often have an unbalanced design that vibrates intensely while spinning. This intense vibration can make the tool uncomfortable to use and can potentially damage both the drill and the auger.
