5Yard Butler Roto Digger 30-Inch Long 1.75-Inch Diameter #RD-2  Dec 07, 2007 By J. Petty
I purchased the Yard Butler Roto Digger 30-Inch Long 1.75-Inch Diameter #RD-2 to use it for something it was not meant to be used for. I'm building a pool house and the location of the front door has changed. I had to crawl under the pool house and dig 2 holes that needed to be 8"X8"24" deep. This needed to be done in a 2 foot tall work area. My plan was to use the Roto Digger. I ended up using something else but the Roto Digger was tough. Held together dig after dig in red clay type soil. I'd recommend this product and plan on using it again when I start planting bulbs.

4This a great back saver!!  May 15, 2008 By Harold J. Bennett
This a great back saver. The extra length is perfect. I have planted using short augers and have suffered before. It seems to be sturdy and should last a long time.

5Very pleased  May 09, 2008 By Leonard B. Newman "Len"
Very satisfied and glad we got it..........would like to see them put a hex top on it so it doesn't slip in the chuck when we hit rocks (our ground is loaded with rocks).

4Great, for the price  Aug 10, 2008 By John Doe
For the price, this soil auger cannot be beat. I was suprised at how well it worked. One thing you don't want to do is use this auger with a drill which has a lot of torque, as this will bend the shaft at the drill's connection, sending it wobbling all over the place.

4Not Bad, but it is Limited  Oct 17, 2009 By Charles Evans "Call me Kevin"
Not a bad item for the price, since it does exactly what it advertises. It will dig 1.75" holes, and "can" save you a considerable amount of work. A few things that you will want to consider in deciding if this the right tool for you.

1- It really does require the power of an electric drill. Unless you have sandy soil I doubt that a rechargeable drill will have enough power.

2- Not heat-treated steel - So you have to be careful on how much force you push down onto the head... it will warp!

3- For some unknown reason the the end is round - a hex end would have made it much easier to fit into your chuck.

4- The end is not very aggressive - it does not have the profile of a drill-head, which makes chewing through clay a big challenge.

5- You need to be careful - if the yard-butler hits a soft section of soil it will cause a lot of torque on the drill... meaning that you could easily hurt your wrist. I would suggest a hammer style drill

Despite the issues I stated above it really does work decent. I would not consider it if was 2x the cost, but for the price point it is effective, and you are unlikely to be disappointed.
