  • Works good..sturdy
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Great tool for the price. Very sturdy. We were just planting small shrubs, if you're going to plant something over 5 gallon pot I might get the next up.

  • Great power auger
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Max 36" depth without an extension. Bought this to help install a fence, digs 36" post hole in about a minute. No issues digging in the sandy soil with some clay here. It will cut thru small roots, larger ones will stop it, and you'll have to cut them. Heavy wet clay soil can stop it as well. Rocky soil will slow it, if rocks are heavy you may have to stop and break them up. Easy to use, let it do the work. Added gas and it started right up no problem runs great. ... show more

i love this thing,it augers holes like a mole on crack,it put in 10 holes with a ten inch auger in under 30 minutes at 2.5 foot deep,it only took that long because it was wearing my arms out holding onto this thing i bet a really strong man could have had them in in ten minutes flat.i will warn you though,if you hit a big root or a big rock,this thing will flip you over end over end or rip your arms out of the sockets ,its a brute and it rocks,wish i had to auger a bunch more holes because i love this thing. ... show more

  • Better Quality and Warranty than Harbor Freight's Predator auger, worth another 120 bucks.
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
To early to give a full review, but I can give first impressions. This is thenthird one man auger I have purchased, the first was from harbor freight, it did well for about 2 tanks of fuel, which equated to approximately 30 to 40 post holes but after a year the motor started losing compression suddenly and then it just quit working, most likely a burnt up coil. Warranty out not worth trying to fix. The second lasted 5 minutes. It was immediately returned to Home Depot with a defective transmission, would not turn when placed on the ground, cant remember the manufacturer but it was orange and similar to the earthquake in size. This auger is noticeably made better than the 2 prior ones I purchased. The motor, while slightly smaller than the Harbor Freight auger, has plenty of power and takes less effort to start. Another good feature is the spring on the auger bit, it absorbs a lot of the torque that can occur if you encounter a root or rock or other solid object. In ground where no rocks qre encountered this thing makes quick work of a 24 to 30 inch post hole. So far, it does not seem to overheat or seize up under normal use, which I would consider to be 10 to 20 minutes at a time and restarting has bot been an issue. In the process of building a privacy fence for my daughter sonit will have the opportunity to dig another 20 or so holes to go with the 8 it has already dug on the first day of use. Bottom line: if comparing to the Predator model, the earthquake is easier to start, easier and safer to use, uses 50:1 fuel (25:1 in the Predator model), has a 8 inch auger with a spring compared to the 6 inch solid drive of the Predator. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE MOTOR HAS A 5 YEAR WARRANTY, the Predator had only a 90 day warranty. Pay the extra 120 bucks and get thr Earthquake. ... show more

  • Great value
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Received it yesterday. Except for installing the auger and tip it is fully assembled. two 9/16" wrenches and the auger is on and ready to go. They give you oil for 50:1 mix. I use the premix from Lowes which is alcohol free fuel and all my small engines never have problems on this fuel. I have clay soil with lots of wisteria vines and rocks. I am 70 years old and have no stamina in the heat and humidity of Alabama and there is no way I can plant my garden with a shovel. I bought this unis to dig he holes to transplant my veggies from the greenhouse. It took a few pulls to start the first time. After than one or two at most and it fired right up. Because it is 2 stroke engine you want to run wide open to keep the plug from fouling. It is geared perfecting and the auger spring help absorb shock if you hit roots or rocks. after digging a hole I just jam it into the ground and it sits upright until I am ready for the next hole. I keep the auger going and move it up and down to throw dirt from it and clear the hole. It is made in America and one of the reasons I bought this model. ... show more

  • Great tool
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Works like a champ, runs like a champ. But make sure you got a good grip on it, this is a bigger model, if you're not holding on good, it can rock you around, I'm a 200 pound man, and I had to grip it good with both hands. But does the job, and for a great price!

  • Very, Very Well Made
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
I have two augers. The Predator, 52cc from Harbor Freight, and now this one. The 43cc makes no notable difference in the hard, cold, packed clay I’ve been working on. In fact, the bit that this comes with makes ALL the difference. It’s very clearly well built, and designed with a purpose and saved my arms a couple times with the spring on the bit. It helps a lot! Couldn’t recommend this auger more, especially for the price. Two holes in this clay and it paid for itself. Unfortunately for me, I have 26 more to go! ... show more

  • Can't return no matter what
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Just wanted to let everyone know even though it sold as a Prime item it's non returnable under any circumstance! Amazon's web page states is returnable if defective or unopened, but Amazon will not except the auger motor no matter the reason in the return procedure. Likely do to the chance of it being shipped with gas mix in it, my assumption as to why. The unit I received was defective out of the box. Unpacked attached the auger to the power head and added fuel. Primed the motor and set the choke, was basically normal until I pulled the starter rope. On the third pull fuel pumped out the muffler on each piston stroke, not a good sign. Yes it does come with a warranty. After calling the manufacturer (hour and a half on hold) I come to find out the warranty is served via a network of independent repair stations. The manufacturer supplied the closest authorized center (four and a half hour drive one way) for repair. Cost of repair under warranty, nothing other than my time, gas and effort to and from the repair center. After getting it back from repair it seams to do an adequate job drilling 142 holes with a 10 inch auger in moist spring soil. Rocks larger about 2 to 3 inches in size creates problems as the auger just bounces over them and must be cleared by hand. If your drilling in hard pan soil or have lots rocks this unit will not serve your needs. ... show more
