Frequently Asked Questions

How Does a Drill Auger Work?

A drill auger works by rotating a sharp, spiral bit through the soil as it is pushed or driven into the ground. The blade of the dirt auger cuts through the soil, lifting it up and out, creating a hole as it goes.

What Kind of Drill Do I Need for an Earth Auger?

Most cordless drills within a range of 18V-60V will work with our drill augers, depending on the diameter and length of the earth auger as well as its intended uses. Our earth augers do not adapt to sockets or impact drivers, nor do we recommend trying to use them due to safety and efficiency factors. For more information, see our drill power page.

Can a Power Planter Drill Auger Dig Through Clay Soil?

Yes. Power Planter augers for drills are tough enough to dig through stubborn, compacted clay soil. Our large-diameter heavy-duty augers are best suited to the challenge compared to smaller dirt augers for drills. They not only dig through the clay but break it up simultaneously.
