Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this tool because I had a bunch of plants to put in the landscape this year, and I also wanted something that would make setting treated 2x4s in the ground for small yard projects easier to do.
It does exactly what I ask of it. When attached to my DeWalt corded 3/8" drill, it digs amazingly well. It's almost too strong, since it can either stall the drill motor -- fixed by reversing the drill, and trying again with less force -- or twist the drill fairly strongly. It would probably work better with a drill with a side handle.
I even planted a ~3' tall spruce tree with it, by marking the ground where I needed the hole, then drilling holes around the perimeter and in the interior. This made finishing digging the hole with a shovel and spade much easier.
If I were going to improve it, I would add a hex shaft at the end of it, or perhaps just make the shaft bigger, making it easier for the drill chuck to grip. The keyless chuck on my DeWalt does a really good job of holding the shaft but I check it for tightness after each two or three holes.
