3-Gallon Planting Bit (42539)

The Earthquake® Shrub & Tree Planting Auger is a purpose-built earth auger, with planting in mind. The twin-tapered flight design mimics the size and shape of a 3-gallon potted plant, shrub, bush, or tree. The top of the flights act as a depth gauge so you can ensure you’ve drilled to the correct planting depth every time, while dirt is evenly distributed around the hole, ready to be used to backfill the hole once your plant is in place. Reversible, dual-sided blades offer two cutting profiles in one. The excavator edge tears through tough soil, while the scraper edge pulls loose dirt from the hole. As wear occurs, simply reverse the blades to maximize longevity and maintain peak performance. A splined shaft connection point adds strength and durability, and the patented Quick Connect Coupler™ lets you quickly and easily attach or remove the auger bit from the powerhead without the need for tools or lining up tricky through bolts. This earth auger bit pairs effortlessly with any Earthquake splined-shaft earth auger powerheads (sold separately) and for added versatility, a Smooth Shaft to Spline Shaft Adapter is included, allowing compatibility with 7/8" smooth-shaft earth auger powerheads. Backed by a 1-Year Limited Warranty and a U.S.-based customer support team the Earthquake® Shrub & Tree Planting Auger Bits will perform for years to come.
