Worked perfect, I planted 150 pine trees in a day. I tried the shovel thing; I wasn't strong enough to work it, I guess.

Great little set for a low price. Easily drilled through clay based soil.

Always use the clutch on your drill. Set it to the second highest setting, next to the last setting which would lock the drill. A locked clutch means unnecessary strain on your wrist and the drill whenever you hit a rock and get stuck. A motor that's stuck draws really high amperage that can quickly overheat both the motor and the battery.Your goal with these auger bits are to loosen the soil, not to break free rocks and debris. Even if your drill is strong enough your wrist might not be. When the auger gets stuck, stop and change the angle of attack, or drill around the rock that you were stuck at. Once the soil is loosened the rock will break free naturally. In most cases, it's the soil above a rock that's causing you issue. Drill at an angle directly above the rock and it'll loosen quickly.I found the auger to be much more effective than a shovel on rocky soil. Mine has large rocks that are 4 inches wide and the gas powered auger simply couldn't drill past them. With this set of augers I was able to loosen the rocks one by one. It definitely made life easier. I found the longest 2 inch bit much more useful for my situation. If you have better soil you should be able to use the 3 inch auger.

I have several hundred (to over a thousand) bulbs to put in the ground this season. I bought these because 1) they’re economical; 2)the variety of sizes; and 3) they could be time savers.All bits in the 1st photo are oriented in the same position (note the position of the blades at the back of the shaft). I used the blade on the left to dig ~675 holes in hard packed ground with some gravel in it. As you can tell by the rubbing of the powder coating at the bottom of the shaft, the bit caught occasionally on something in the soil and the drill kept spinning some while the bit did not. I’m not sure what these bits are made of, but you can tell they wear very quickly as shown at the tip of the bit on the left (which has been used) versus the bit in the middle (which hasn’t been used). Also, the shaft on the bit on the left broke just in front of where the drill chuck jaws grab the shaft after catching on a rock for the upteenth time. Each bit only has 3 weld points attaching the auger blade to the shaft. You can see in the second photo that the powder coating rounds out the hexagonal end, making it a lot easier to round out where you drill attaches.Overall, a good concept, but the quality could be a lot better. I will not be able to use these for multiple seasons.
