I’ve got a manual one for posts which has been really good. These are little ones which will be good for small plants - one is a tiny little one which will be good for seedlings and small bulbs, the other one will be good for smaller pots. I only have a fairly lightweight drill to use it with, but the soil is pretty sandy so it will probably be enough for what I need to do.
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.
The manual (cheapo) auger I got a few years ago to originally do the veggie patch posts has been so handy, sort of regret not getting one sooner.

aren’t the small ones called dibbers?

Since this place is numbat mad, and quokkas are now pretty famous, let me introduce you all to another Western Australian cutie:
