Customer Reviews:

GREAT BUY - VERY FAST SHIPPING [Posted on 2008-07-13]
I HAVE NOT USED THIS PRODUCT YET, BUT IT I HAVE NO DOUBTS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROTO DIGGER IT WILL DO THE JOB. I HAVE HAD OTHER DIGGER'S AND THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP PALED IN COMPARISON. THE PRICE, AND I DID CHECK OTHER PRICES, QUALITY, AND OPIONIONS, WAS THE BEST AND I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE FAST SHIPPING. I ALSO PURCHASED A 24 INCH DIGGER FROM THIS SELLER.

OK! but flawed [Posted on 2008-07-25]
If you don't have some nice, soft soil, it well spin inside the drill because the end of the bit is round and will slip. This causes you to constantly stop and tighten the chuck.

Great, for the price [Posted on 2008-08-10]
For the price, this soil auger cannot be beat. I was suprised at how well it worked. One thing you don't want to do is use this auger with a drill which has a lot of torque, as this will bend the shaft at the drill's connection, sending it wobbling all over the place.

Terrific back-saving tool every gardener should own [Posted on 2008-08-16]
I bought the Yard Butler 30-inch roto digger to aerate my flower beds. I ended up using it for that and also to plant flowers/bulbs and to install fence posts. It has many uses and is long enough so that you don't have to break your back bending over all day long. It digs great post holes! Sometimes, if you hit a root, it slips in the drill chuck. I think that's more a function of my cheapy drill than the roto digger. I love this product.

somewhat limited [Posted on 2008-10-08]
I think that this is probably a very useful tool under the right conditions. However it is virtually useless in hard and rocky soil. The dirt needs to be loose and root free. Also the end of the shaft that sticks into the drill should be ground with several flat edges rather than perfectly round so that the drill can get a better grip on it.
