This is a pretty functional tool for those who plant lots of flowers. I saw a landscape contractor using one like it last season. Knew I had to have one for planting flowers for the wife.

That's pretty sweet. I like that Kobalt drill too!

I like that Kobalt drill too!

Hard to beat Kobalt for average consumer use. Their replacement batteries are super cheap: 1.5 Ah is $10, 2.0 Ah is $20, and a 4.0 Ah is $50.

I use a set up like that for installing grass plugs. Makes the job go fast.

While at Lowe's tonight, I found this for only $15. Its shaft is 15" longer than the the Power Planter. However, it is $12.50 cheaper.

The Power Planter is made of tempered and hardened steel. The low cost bulb planters are soft. In my hard soils with coral, roots, and rocks, bulb planters have bent or the spiral part peeled itself from the shaft. I use the Power Planter for making holes to set irrigation heads in addition to planting grass. So far, I have not seen any disassembly of the Power Planter.
