This bit is a huge upgrade for my 1023e auger. The flighting and pitch are better at clearing out post holes without corkscrewing into the soil. The tip broke up hard compacted clay better than my other screw point tip. My yellow auger tip screws in faster than it breaks up material and packs too much material between flights and bogs down. This auger either breaks up the material quickly so it doesn't get bogged down and will spin freely or lifts the material out faster to help prevent bogging down. Cut my pre-drilling time in half for several hundred feet of fence posts. Worth every penny and I will be replacing all my yellow bit sizes with these as needed. So far so good on each titan product ive purchased.
