i have a 1/4 inch dewalt drill seems like most of the bulb augers are for a 3/8 inch. Does anyone know if I can purchase one for 1/4 inch ?

May can, but generally, digging in the dirt does take a little power, especially the deeper you dig with these augers. 1/4 inch drills may not have enough power, other than to go down maybe 4 to 6 inches (might be able to go deeper if you frequently pull the auger out and get rid of dirt). I use a Dewalt 18V cordless, (1/2"), and it works like a charm.

I don't think so. You need a strong auger to drill down into soil. Anyway, I'd think you would need a more powerful drill than 1/4 inch to use an auger.

I'm not sure if they make one for a 1/4" drill but I have to agree with Mr. Jacobsen; a 1/4" drill probably won't have enough power to drill to any appreciable depth. I have 1/2" Craftsman and it will occasionally spin on the auger shaft in this tough Texas clay.

Buy a couple lengths of black pipe (threaded) on both sides, a coupler to connect them and connect it to the auger. Works well. -Bob

Yes, you need to buy 1/4" hex shank drill bits. I believe dewalt has a 22 piece bit bid for around $19. The impact driver will drill holes but it's not what it's best at. Better off getting the drill/driver & impact combo

The shaft diameter is a hair over 1-1/8 inches. The top of the auger is tough to measure, but about 2-3/4 inches.

Any bit set that has 1/4-inch hex would work for this - Im sure Black & Decker also sells bit sets. Keep in mind that this works better as a screw driver than a drill so not recommended to find drill bits larger than 3/16".

Hello, That's a great question. If there is a 3/16" that would be better. I'm sorry but we don't have that size though just the 1/4" and 1/8". Thank you, Bruce

It will go the seven inches. The weakness is that the drill shaft is smooth so you need a good drill chuck to keep a grip on the auger if you are drilling into a hard soil. If working in hard soil you probably will have to just keep tightening the drill chuck. I use this with an 18v 3/8" drill which works well also with a 1/2" electric. I also have the 24" that I use exclusively with the 1/2", but it also has a better gripping shaft end. As with Susan I planted about 100 bulbs in a relatively short time, but in clay/rocky soil. But I recommend, if you have a heavy duty 1/2" drill is get the 24" and save bend over strain. It will go the seven inches.

Any drill bit will work. Home Depot, Walmart, Sears, Amazon, Lowes, any hardware store. Bits with the 1/4 inchadapter on the end are at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Amazon.

I think that a 1/4" bit will fit into the chuck, but the motor doesn't have the torque to push it through anything harder than wax. This machine is a sweet running little drill press, but it is seriously lacking torque. It is only for drilling very small holes in light or thin material. It took me several minutes to drill a 1/8" hole in 1/4" aluminum. Good machine for what it's made for.

No. It is < 3/8" by a tad(metric) but I wouldn't give it up for anything. It's my go to drill.

Hello, this is not the correct replacement auger for your unit. The correct part number is WR17X11939 and we do not have this in our online inventory at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Thank you!

I bought it for my cordless Dremel Tool but the shaft is bigger than 1/8", so I have to use it in my drill. Dremel makes a larger tool that fits this bit. But I didn't want to buy another tool to fit the bit. Next time I will read ALL the user comments!

the auger is 30" but the power head has 6" shaft. I believe there is a extension available. Other manufacture augers will fit on this machine.

I have looked for and did not find a 1/4 inch chuck that will fit this tool. I do not think it would be advisable to use 1/4 inch bits on this tool as it lacks the power needed to turn them under load.

Hello Harold,Using 3/16" drill works fine.I would not use any drill larger due to possible strain on motor. Best regards, Paul

They might sell for that size an adapter you screw on first the chuck size is 1"x8tpi and it comes with an adapter for 3/4 16tpi, and I know that there are other sizes as well.
