7inch (17.5cm) wide by 28inch (70cm) long allows you to be standing whilst drilling the holes in soil.
Being a larger auger it is recommend you use one of the following drills
- (best and easiest option)
- Commercial grade Mains Powered Drill with Variable Speed 240v
- Petrol powered Drill (13mm chuck) with side handle and clutch to protect you against kickback.
It has a common 13mm (1/2inch) hex head.
NOTE: We don't recommend this size Power Planter for home garden use. This is a professional grade auger used by Landscapers and does require a higher spec drill and previous knowledge with power tools. It is NOT suitable for cultivating the garden, but is great for digging post holes.
For DIY home garden Power Planters, please see the Home Gardener Range at this .
