Especially powered augers
Tilt your auger 5 to 10 degrees off vertical when drilling. helps avoid blades getting bound at break thru
The rationale being ...... that a tilted auger will create a downward “leading edge” and a “trailing edge” to the hole being drilled.
Break thru will occur at the leading edge. And not across the entire circle face of the hole
Seems to work well for me. IMO
