How to use

Position the drill vertically at the desired planting spot and apply steady downward pressure while rotating the tool to drive the steel bit into the soil. Withdraw the bit to remove soil and create a clear planting hole to the intended depth, then place the bulb or seedling and backfill with surrounding soil. For aeration, repeatedly drill shallow holes across the bed to the appropriate depth to improve air and water penetration. Clean soil from the bit after use and store the tool in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use the Fiskars QuikDrill in moist but not waterlogged soil to achieve clean cuts and easier penetration. Avoid using the tool in heavy rocky ground or with large stones; for stony conditions, pre-clear the planting area or use a different tool. Regularly inspect and wipe the steel bit dry after cleaning to reduce corrosion and maintain performance.
