aren't the small ones called dibbers?

A dibbler is a round stick type thing with a pointy end. This is an auger that fits into an electric drill to dig a hole. Hopefully it will work one handed so I can do some planting while my finger continues to heal, and it should avoid the blister issue I had from digging too many holes manually.
