Great for planting seedlings, bulbs, tube stock.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower Planters are made in the USA with good quality steel. \u003cbr\u003eThey are well balanced and have the correct angle on the flighting for effective digging. The centre shaft is one piece of solid steel. \u003cbr\u003eThere are a few Chinese copies of the design available in the Australian market now. They are much cheaper and work ok. They dont tend to last well as the steel wears down quickly and often they aren't balanced which leads to vibration damage to the cordless drill. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePotential Problems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomers ask if they can use a 240v electric drill?  The answer is no. 240v drills spin too fast and tend to overheat. They are designed for drill bits that spin with little to no resistance. Also 240v drills dont have a clutch which protects your wrists from jarring. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomers say it won't penetrate the ground - this is usually because they have the drill in reverse!

You must use a cordless drill 18v and above with torque of 70Nm or above preferred. A side handle is also recommended to make it much easier to control.\u003cbr\u003e2. The cordless drill must be set to slow speed. \u003cbr\u003e3. Screwdriver mode must be engaged. This means the clutch will instantly stop the motor if it meets high resistance. \u003cbr\u003eWatching the instruction video at this link explains it better. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"www.powerplanter.com.au\/go\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.powerplanter.com.au\/go\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomers are trying to dig bone dry compacted clay.
