Why the "awesome Auger" Should be in Your Tool Shed

Chances are you have seen this item on TV; digging up dirt, mixing paint, drilling post holes and more. The Awesome Auger is certainly eye-catching, and also is extremely helpful to have around the house. Many home-owners are looking for new ways to perform old tasks to improve their homes. In most cases, the Awesome Auger can do just that. For that reason alone the Awesome Auger should be in your tool shed, however, here are a few more.

What is the Awesome Auger?

The Awesome Auger is a tool that, just as the infomercial states, in many ways takes the backbreaking out of yard work. The Awesome Auger can power through dirt and it can dig holes. It chews away at caked, dry dirt, eating through roots and more. The Auger itself is a drill bit with a steel blade that attaches to your drill. You can get an optional bit extender and can purchase a corded electric drill to complete the whole set, but the Auger works with any drill.

What does the Awesome Auger do?

The Awesome Auger is touted as the most efficient and powerful yard tool you will ever use. The Auger has a patented spiral design that makes digging into things, such as dirt, much easier. In addition to digging holes, it can aerate soil, power out roots and rocks, cultivate your soil and even mix paint. The razor sharp blades cut into the dirt, chewing through roots and obstructions. Reverse the drill, and it pulls up roots, cutting them up in the process.

Why should you own an Awesome Auger?

If you are an avid gardener, having the Awesome Auger in your tool shed can be extremely helpful. It is ideal for digging holes for planting and turning hours of work into minutes. Here are some additional reasons to have an Awesome Auger in your tool shed.

1. Never spend an afternoon digging holes for transplanting again.

Many home-owners spend hours preparing and loosening soil in their gardens and flowerpots. With the Auger, it would have taken less than half an hour instead of the hours spent performing back-breaking labor to accomplish the same task.

2. Drill post holes for fences in minutes.

The larger auger bit is the perfect size for punching cylindrical holes for fence posts. No need for a post-hole digger when you have this handy little tool. Simply attach it to your power drill, plug it in and drill straight into the ground. It works just as well in hard-packed soil as it does in looser earth. Cut down hours of back-breaking work into minutes of easy labor with the Awesome Auger.

Another option would be to buy a post-hole digger, or rent a power digger for the afternoon to put in a fence, but that would be expensive and those tools perform only one task. The Awesome Auger can handle that task, and so much more.

3. Plant a whole hillside of bulbs in an hour.

One of the most popular ways to plant iris and other bulb plants is to take a handful of bulbs, toss them out onto the hillside, then dig a hole to plant the bulb where each one lands.

Any green thumb could go out and buy a specialty tool just for digging holes to plant the bulbs, but it would not be as efficient as the Auger. Simply put, you don’t need to go out and buy a bulb cultivator if you already own an Awesome Auger.

4. Aerate your lawn in no time at all.

Aerating your lawn is one of the best things you can do for it. Grass has a thick thatch of roots that can strangle other plants. These roots can impede the growth of nearby grass as well, and prevent water and air from getting to the roots that need water and oxygen. Experts recommend aerating your lawn once a year, usually in the fall. Aerating is simply a fancy word for punching holes in the dirt every few inches, and punching holes is what the Awesome Auger does best.

Home-owners who wish to have a green and healthy lawn can buy a hand aerator and spend hours pulling out little plugs of dirt and sod one at a time. You could rent or buy a power aerator to use once a year, and let it sit in the shed the rest of the time. Or you could use the Awesome Auger and do the job in minutes, and when you are done, there are dozens of other things that you can do with the tool.

How Do I Keep My Ice Fishing Hole From Freezing Over?

I am going ice fishing often in my afternoons for the rest of this winter. Yet, when I leave the hole for a night or a couple of nights, it freezes over, and I really don't want to re-drill all the holes with the auger. No snow will get in the hole since, it will be surrounded by my ice hut. Is there anyway that I can keep it from freezing? I was thinking if I put a long log in the hole, then when I went fishing again, I could just bang the log a bit, then pull it out.

Try a beach ball. Deflate it until it fits tight in the hole. Try this it works great.
