Hello Angel San. We are sorry to hear of the issue have experienced with your tool.
The lifespan of an earth auger bit varies depending on several factors, like soil type, frequency of use, and maintenance play a crucial role in determining the lifespan. There are a few reasons an earth auger bit dulls quickly and stops digging due to several factors. Some of the reason, including hitting rocks or roots, using the wrong technique for the soil type, or the bit not being sharp enough. Dense clay can be difficult for augers to penetrate, leading to wear and tear on the bit. Hitting rocks, roots, or other obstructions can cause the bit to become dull or even damaged. Compacted soil requires more force and can cause the bit to wear down faster. Proper care and maintenance, including sharpening and storage, can significantly extend the lifespan of an earth auger bit. By addressing these factors, you can help your earth auger bit maintain its sharpness and digging ability for a longer time. We hope these tips help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent quality, just as powerful as my gas auger was, but much easier to use. Quiet, powerful, long lasting, and high quality. Love it!

VERY DISAPPOINTED IN LACK OF REPLACEMENT AUGER BIT
on September 29, 2025
Posted by: Johnnyjeepers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the 8" 80 V Earth Auger for over one year. After about 75 holes, the bits are needing replacement. Unfortunately, Greenworks doesn't have this type of replacement part. They have blades for lawn mowers and edger's but not for the auger. It would be better to just buy the power unit and find a local auger company that also has replaceable bits. In general, the power unit is very powerful but does have a kick when it hits a rock or root. The 80 v battery has been very long lasting allowing 10 or more holes at a time. After reading about all the problems with gas powered auger, I was very pleased with the electric unit. It's not too heavy to handle.
