1. To use an auger, simply fit the hex head to a power drill or cordless drill. Set the drill speed on its lowest setting (more torque) and adjust the chuck to a resistance setting appropriate for your fitness level. Now you’re ready to start digging.
2. For larger holes, you may want to dig a small pilot hole before starting. Then, place the auger’s tip at the center of the hole you plan to dig, and activate the drill or powerhead.
3. Make sure to keep the auger vertical as it digs and be prepared — the drill will kick back in your hand slightly as the auger starts to bite into the soil. Once the auger is digging, there is no need to press on it. Just let the auger dig until you’ve reached the desired depth, and then you can safely remove the tool from the hole.
