5Handy Tool  Apr 02, 2008
By FXP
I have one and find it makes planting bulbs much easier. You just jam it down into soft soil and the soil stays in the cylinder allowing you to drop in the bulb. Then place the tool over the hole and squeeze the spring handle which releases the soil -- done! I usually have a problem gauging the hole depth so this helps. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for a lot of plantings. Be sure to clean and oil it down when storing and it will last.

1You get what you pay for.  May 08, 2010
By Ariel
This tool worked well for about 30 bulbs and then spring handle broke and metal side bent. I have arthritis in both hands so I was initially please with my ability to use this tool. Unfortunately it broke that first day. I can't squeeze very hard so it certainly wasn't roughly used. OK if you don't mind a disposable tool and don't have too much to plant.

1bends even in sand  Jul 10, 2010
By K. Perry
I used this when I first got it to transplant sweet corn plants. I have sandy soil and when it was wet and freshly tilled the fiskars bulb planter worked great. I went to use it for planting bulbs in my sandy ,but dry and a little compacted soil and the thin steel sides bent over when I pushed it in the soil. Now I can't get it bent back into shape to be strong enough to use at all. I thought by spending a few more dollars I would get quality. I can't recommend this due to the thin metal sides that can't withstand the pressure required to push it into the ground.

3Okay for the money  Jan 21, 2009
By L. H. Arnold
This is sturdy but works just about as well as it should for the money. Perhaps a more costly one would work a little smoother/easier, but this gets the job done. Planted over 300 bulbs in about 90 minutes with it (scattered throughout an acre).

5Helps ease planting of Bulbs  May 04, 2008
By J. Morgan
This item really helped ease the planting of 100 Iris bulbs. It has a ruler to help choose the depth accurately. I highly recommend this product. It is must better than using a shovel.
