These bits are uniquely designed with a notch in the shank to prevent the bit from slipping out of an extension and being lost underground. Our dirt auger system is an economical and less labor intensive way to install cable and sprinkler systems under existing sidewalks and drives or place landscape stakes. Used with our Quick Switch Hex adaptor this notch will prevent the annoying slip in the chuck. Made in the USA, these bits are as tough as it gets. Three flat grip and notch on the chuck end. Wire fishing accommodation holes in the head and shank. 1-inch head diameter, 1/4-inch shank diameter, overall length of the bit is 54-inch. This Kit also comes with our 1/4-inch by 36-inch long extension. This extension has an internal Hex so it can be used with any 1/4-inch cable bit OR any 1/4-inch hex shank quick change tool.

Bends too much (permanently) when it hits any rocks in the dirt. The shaft, perhaps too thin for a 72-inch length, is subject to distortion. I have used both the 1 inch and the 3/4 inch dirt augers with limited success. I was drilling underneath a concrete walkway, and both augers jammed and were VERY difficult to free.

This bit bored right through our Missouri clay and actually went through some small roots and gravel in the dirt. It flexes alot in order to get it going horizontally and then it just follows it's own path. Just barely big enough to force a 1/2" plastic conduit through it (with some help from a sledge hammer and wood block). Worth the cost for the work it saved me. I used a 1/2" electric drill rather than a battery drill and it's power made a difference.

I used this to tunnel under a walkway for low voltage wiring and it worked very well.

I was very impressed with this auger and the extension I got. I ran a 9’ hole under my driveway and pounded through PVC to follow. In the photo a drilled towards to hole, not from it like the bit is laying. My biggest fear was losing the bit off the extension while digging, but the set screws held it on great and I was able to be very aggressive with drilling. Full speed while pushing and pulling with no problems. The bit and extension were packaged really well too, triangular boxes to avoid bending.I will say that you need a pretty roomy access pit behind your hole’s path to flex enough and avoid a diagonal downward hole (if you’re trying to drill horizontally). I used a laser level to line up my bit, and a board with weights to counter flex the bit and I ended up within 3/4” of where I wanted my hole. I didn’t put as much effort into my first try and my hole was probably 4 or 5 feet deep by the time I tried to run 9’ horizontally.

Wow, I rarely take the time to upload pictures and write bad reviews, but for this one I had to take the time to do so. This bit is garbage. I got de 50+ inch & 3/4 size. This thing can't even finish a single hole (even straight). The picture I took was almost 30 seconds of constant drilling at all speed you can imagine just to see if the teeth would grab the wood at some point.Again, do not buy, it's a waste of time and energy. If you notice, this bit doesn't have the spiraled cone at the top which make it spin on itself on the piece of wood and nothing happens.I am extremely dissapointed with this purchase and I am returning it right away.

I'm a landscaper, and one of my biggest nightmares is boring under a sidewalk or driveway. If I had the money, I outsourced. If I didn't, I used the old water jet method, praying I didn't hit a rock or roots.Not that it mattered. Trying to blast a hole through Georgia red clay with a hose is about as effective as using it to cut bricks. This product is a game changer. The hole was drilled in 6 minutes, pipe installed, and no mud to clean up. By far my fastest and cleanest install, ever.My ONLY complaint is that they don't manufacture a dirt auger bit larger than ¾". The set screw on the bit means it's clearly intended to be interchangeable or replaceable.I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see a 1" and possibly a 1½" bit size! But in all likelihood, augering a hole that large would probably require a hammer drill instead of a regular drill. Still, it's worth putting the suggestion out there to Eagle Tool, because they already have a winner right here.

Used it once to pull some low voltage wire for landscape lights under a 3' sidewalk. Super easy to use, just attached it to my drill like any normal bit. The shank was a little stiffer than I expected, but bent just enough to drive it under the sidewalk while the drill remained above the surface of the ground.I was able to drill through moist clay and the occasional stone in under 10 minutes. Once it was through, I stripped the insulation off a couple inches of the low voltage wire and threaded it through the small fish hole in the tip of the drill bit. I used some electrical tape to hold the wire in place and then pulled the wire back under the sidewalk using the auger while still attached to the drill. It got stuck a couple of times while pulling the auger back out from under the sidewalk with the wire attached, but a little half-turn clockwise and then counter-clockwise did the trick to free it.This was the kind of project where I expected something to go wrong the first few attempts -- the wire snaps, the bit comes loose, the drill gets stuck, etc. -- but everything worked perfectly on the first attempt! Not sure what else I will use this for, but I'm glad I bought it.

Just wiah it had a more agressive bite, takes everything you've got and a lot of time to get started thru an engineered joist.
