I have used a 1" masonry bit with a domestic quality drill to plant (naturalise) in heavy (uncultivated) soil. Works fine, but the drill started smoking after a time as it is so quick planting this way. Use a heavy duty drill if planting a lot. At the very least I need a trowel even in cultivated soil here.

Last year I'd hurt my arm and used a foot powered dibber - a long piece of wood with a cross bar for ones foot. Anyway, I was sent this advertising link this week: https://cesdeals.com/product/… The idea is one uses an electric hand drill and this bit to make holes for the bulbs. Seems unlikely to me.
