Designed with the needs of the professional landscaper in mind, this auger delivers the strength and durability you need to plant 5-inch and 6-inch potted plants with speed and efficiency. Its double 10-gauge flighting design makes it twice as fast as augers with a single-flighting construction. Choose the HDT (Heavy-Duty Tip) option for digging in dense compacted soil. Drill sold separately.

This plant auger bit measures 5 inches in diameter by 28 inches long. It can be ordered with a 1/2-inch non-slip hex drive and medium-duty tip, or with an adaptable tube drive and heavy-duty replaceable tips and blades.

Our DeWalt 60v Max Drill Kit provides the power you need PLUS an extra battery and box – only available from Power Planter!

Our Large Earth Augers Are Versatile

The tube drive with a heavy-duty tip (THD) is the most rugged and versatile option for this auger. Use the dropdown menu above to choose the “THD” option. The heavy duty digging tip is a replaceable auger tip that will help you tackle the most challenging digging tasks without damaging the main auger. The leading portion of the digging tip has replaceable auger blades (included with purchase). This allows for an easier and more cost-efficient way to keep your equipment performing in top condition for decades.

About Tube Drives

The tube drive auger can fit various drills or powerheads with the help one of our hex adapter which is included with this purchase. In addition, the auger bit will fit any drill with a threaded end when purchased with a threaded adapter (sold separately). Our adaptable tube drive augers feature 2 holes with pins for mounting and will fit auger powerheads with a 3/4-inch shaft. This is a smart option for professional landscaping businesses who need to switch between drills and powerheads throughout the day. See graphics below for more details.

Check out our Adapters if you’re looking to adapt your tube drive auger to fit a different-sized drill or powerhead.

How to choose a drive type.

3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, or Tube Drive?

Most drills typically come in 2 chuck sizes: 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch. This measurement refers to the width of the connection point between the drill and auger (or drill bit). Most drills will display their size in the fine print on the side of the drill or drill chuck (see pictures). A 3/8 inch drill chuck will ONLY accommodate our 3/8 inch bit offerings. A ⅜ inch auger can function inside of a drill with a larger ½ inch chuck.

For best results, however, we advise against using a 3/8 inch auger with a 1/2 inch hex drive drill when digging in densely compacted soil as a 1/2 inch drill generally has much more torque and could result in damage to the smaller 3/8 inch hex.

Heavy Duty Digging

When you are digging through rough soil with small rocks or dense clay soil we strongly advise using a drill and auger with a 1/2-inch hex drive to increase safety and torque. Additionally the drill should have a minimum power rating of 18 volts or more. For digging wide or deep holes in dense soil a gas powerhead or drill with a 60V power rating is suggested. Most drills will show the power rating in fine print on the side of the drill or on the battery itself (see pictures). 60V cordless drills are generally safer than gas powered units as they include a clutch which prevents injuries. Gas powered units are usually absent of any such safety feature.

Tube Drives

Tube drives are designed for heavy duty applications. They are available for the larger auger sizes and are typically used by professional landscapers. A specialized drill or powerhead with a tube attachment must be purchased. A tube drive auger can be connected to a standard ½ drill chuck with the help of an adaptor.

Most drills come in 3/8 or 1/2 inch sizes.

Chuck size can sometimes be found on the chuck.

Chuck size and voltage can also be found on the the side of most drills.

Voltage or power ratings can be found on the battery unit.

Tube connection types can be used with a gasoline powerhead or with a 60 volt DeWalt drill and an adapter.

The drill chuck, or drive, is the part of the drill where augers and other attachments are connected.
