The Perfect Bulb Planter Tool

Powerful and professional, our Large Bulb Auger is the best tool for planting bulbs and digging post holes faster and more efficiently. The bulb hole digger auger measures 4 inches in diameter by 28 inches long. It includes a heavy duty, 1-inch shaft made of 100% steel and your choice between a standard 1/2-inch non-slip hex drive or an adaptable tube drive.

We recommend using a large electric drill with 1/2-inch hex drive or a professional auger powerhead with this large, long-handled bulb planter auger. An auger powerhead is required for use with the adaptable tube drive. Our cordless electric drill bundle provides the power you need PLUS a bonus battery and box – available only from Power Planter!

Our Rugged Post Auger is 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 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. This allows for an easier and more cost-efficient way to keep your equipment performing in top condition.

About Tube Drives

The Heavy-Duty Tube Drive (HDT) version will fit any 1/2-inch drill chuck – or larger drill chucks – with the use of the 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 graphic below for more details.

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.
