How wonderful that I found you. I am a older lady with arthritis and have bought a new drill and the power planter. You have shown what I needed to know and now I feel confident to plant a few perennials,

We have sand in Perth how will it work with sand?? Also my drill does not have a handle.

[@jaygee1103]

Can you use these to weed gardens?

[@dollofshadows1703]

So how much power should a cordless drill have to handle the auger bit? (I tried with a few smaller ones, less than 20 amps, and they couldn't handle it) I'm thinking 40amps, higher?

[@JohnSG53]

Will these augers fracture PVC/stormwater pipe? Or, is there enough tactile feedback when a pipe is encountered?

[@aussiegardenerstore]

Hi John they arent sharp so when you encounter a pvc pipe you can feel it slipping on it. If the pipe was already damaged then it could bite in and rip into it. We have earthmoving companies use power planters to find where the pipes are before digging with the big machines. Of course still take care. Brian :-)

[@eunito9447]

What should I look for in a drill that does the job great? Powerwise

[@aussiegardenerstore]

Look for an 18v with 13mm chuck and torque of 70Nm and above. It is highlighy recommended to use a cordless drill with a side handle as this makes it easier to control. The drill we use in all the videos which has proved excellent is the Dewalt 996 www.aussiegardener.com.au/996 Been digging with that one for 7 years and it hasnt missed a beat. Brian :-)

@9:37 digging starts here.

[@corygriffiths4394]

My problem is I have a lot of shale on my land

[@patriciahankel911]

Which size drill 1/2or 3/8

[@brianchapman6591]

Hi Patricia The smaller models 207,307,312 have a 10mm hex end. The 324h has thicker 13mm hex end so needs the larger chuck opening. Any power planters that have a h at the end of their name have the 13mm end. Brian :-)

[@ciupotto]

hai fatto un trattato per un buco nel terreno col trapano....mah!

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Careful the way you’re holding that drill facing you!!!🤦🏽‍♀️🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
