Thank you! Very helpful. Just bought the larger drill and auger and needed some training before using. Glad I found your video!

I bought the bigger drill and the bigger auger just like what is shown in this video. It works like a BULLDOZER!! Truely worth the money, it is saving me time, energy etc. I get 3 plants in the ground in 1 or 2 gallon pots, in like 5 minutes. And it makes the backfill dirt like potting soil...100% glad I bought it!

I am waiting for my drill and I already have one of the bigger augers. Cant wait!

[@merudolph6758]

Just found this video and learned I've been using your augurs incorrectly. I think my planting will go much better now with these tips. I just received my bundle with the new drill and the 3 HD tips for our red Va clay and am eager to start planting. Thank you!

Why are you using their auger. Get your own.

[@dov6465]

Thank you for making this. I have searched and searched for information on the drill it’s self. And which one to use. You explained it very well, and I liked how you showed the different parts of the drill.

[@hummingbirdmoth]

Spot on...great safety tips!

[@AndreaKim312]

Thank you for the safety video. I learned a LOT. I knew nothing about drills or augers before buying yours, so thank you. I wanted to note, however, that after all the safety talk, you used your hand to clean out dirt without taking out the battery and that seems like a dangerous thing to do.

Love the Power Planter Auger. Was going to rent or purchase a gas auger from Harbour or Home Depot. Decided on the safety of your auger and an electric drill. I cannot decide on which size auger.? I have Emerald Green Arborvitaes to plant where the container size is 12 inches wide by 10 inches deep. Can you help?

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

Give us a call at the office M-F 8-4 CST and we will get you ready for success! 217-379-2614

Would the Dewalt DWD450 be appropriate for use with power planter augers? (It has a clutch)

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

Yes, just be very careful about the cord getting wrapped up. We used to sell the same model, only the cordless version. It can easily handle up to the 9" diameter auger and anything less than that.

[@mikeables]

Make the auger shaft longer. Us gardeners are mostly over 50. We do not like spending the day on our knees, hunched over. It hurts. Just make the shaft longer.

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

We make them a lot longer,and extendable too. The one shown is made over 48" long. Call with questions.217-379-2614 or head to Www.powerplanter.com

[@CarlavanRaay]

How do I take the power planter OUT of its socket after securing it in? I don't seem to be able to reverse the lock?

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

You should just turn the chuck to loosen. If you have your drill's manual, refer to that. You can also give us a call for 1 on 1 service. 217-379-2614

[@MarciaKarasek]

Do you have this in Spanish? Thanks🙏

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

Yes we do! Here you go! There are 2 links because we did them for the larger and smaller drill. drive.google.com/file/d/1P0Z3g-1lc6aLlD-KNBvGAuhyx9azhuny/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1WX9jVNT3oiKAsLb2MALQ0Yq_wmYAOzoq/view?usp=sharing

[@jessicaannes]

My hammer drill has 3 modes, which one should I use: drill, drive or hammer?

[@powerplanterinc.2967]

Drill mode, and then set the clutch as described in the video

[@jessicaannes]

@@powerplanterinc.2967 Wow, thanks for such a quick response!!

[@patriciahankel911]

I wish you stayed on one drill. The smaller one that you sell.
