Worth the extra cost........Much better than those sold by others....,
I own 7 augers that I purchased from Custom Auger, including a few of their high end industrial models.
There is abig diference in theirs compared with the less expensive others sold on Amazon and hardware stores.
The difference is the cutting edge. It is made of much heavier steel.
Their service is beyond excellent. They ship on the same or next business day by Priority Mail. I usually get them in two or three days. You can't beat Tom and Becky. They are a family husband and wife business.
If you want the auger to last, buy from Custom Auger. If you want it for two or three holes, the cheap ones "MIGHT" do.

|heavy duty hole maker,
I bought this to drill holes into my heavy clay soil to drop in tree food spikes for my trees. So I'm going through grass/sod, roots, and the occasional thumb sized rock.
Once the top grass/sod is out of the way (all augers I've owned have trouble with this) it drives deep and cuts through the roots. Works pretty well.
The bevel on the drill end is pretty minor - almost non-existant. And there's only one bevel, so you'll have to tighten the chuck pretty well -exactly- on that one bevel to make sure this doesn't slip.... That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
This is slightly smaller diameter than I need so I have to use a less sturdy, but larger auger to finish the job. but I knew this when I bought it, so I can't ding the product for that...

|Awesome Digging Tool,
Works great! I found some rocks, and with a little ingenuity, used the drill to bore a couple of holes around, popped the 4-6" rocks right out. In this way was able to plant some gallon size plants in hard pan/clay. Over dig/bore with this to loosen and remove now loose dirt, fill with potting soil, and drop your new plant in with confidence. As far as a bulb planter, I dropped the single plants that come in a soft 6 pack, with such ease. My only regret is waiting so long to finally buy this gem. The unit has pretty beefy welds and I really doubt I'll ever break it. A 17lb digging bar barely sinks 2" into our soil unless soaked well in advance. What a relief to find this tool. 18V Milwaukee was doing the twisting.
