  • Works well
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Works better than expected. Starts up easy. I Have a very difficult yard with big rocks burried in soil. This will obviously not go through them, but definitely reduces overal time to dig holes when used in conjunctionwith other tools. If I had softer/easier dirt this would be amazing. Used it to help me with a trench. ... show more

  • Fantastic Buy! Worth the price.
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
The E43 auger either 8” blade was delivered quickly and was packaged very well. The instructions are written very well and very easy to understand. Set up was very simple and quick. Fired up right away. The earth blade with a hardened tip drilled straight down through VEAVY THICK clay soil with a lot of small rocks. It did exactly what I wanted… bore a 30” deep hole. If I had to use a manual digger it would’ve killed me in this heat. It seems to be well built and that blade is fantastic ... show more

  • starts easy, fairly powerful
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
This is a good earth auger, well built, starts easy, handles nice for one person; control (plastic throttle lever) seems a little light duty, but has worked fine so far. Putting in a chain link fence; drilling 8" corner holes and 6" inline holes. Works great. Has difficulty with heavy packed clay but would drill it if I kept plunging into it. I am over 70 so easer to just use post hole digger for the last few inches. Would be nice to have a bubble level on the top to get holes more plumb - especially when drilling on a slight slope as slopes are deceptive to get a plumb hole. Will try to glue a bubble level on the top. Putting in a cattle fence next, so I will try digging with a 12" bit. May try drilling with the 8" bit then take it bigger with the 12" as I anticipate difficulty using the 12" bit in this heavy clay as it will probably over load the power head. Tried using the extension but to much resistance in the clay soil. ... show more

  • good price/quality
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 6" Auger Bit
This was a new addition to some other Earthquake equipment I have. Works well, especially in regular soil it drills holes fast. NOT too great in real rocky area's; when it hits rock the torque can really impact your wrists. Augur size that comes with it is enough to easily fit 4x4's, though if you plan on adding a lot of concrete to them you may want to widen it a bit, or get an augur 1 size larger to go with it. Engine starts without issues. Dug 10 holes to place 4x4's without any issues. But as I said, if you move to rockier area's it will not have the power to go through large rocks. Good value for the money though. ... show more

  • Dig dug
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
Works as described. But if you hang up on something you are in for a ride. Be prepared to let go or have some help. Either way use safely and it’ll do it.

  • 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

  • Can this one individual handle this power equipment?
Style: 43cc Powerhead with 8" Auger Bit
I was able to use this power head auger. Easy to put together after reading the instructions provided. An individual can handle this equipment, however; if the ground is hard, it requires two individuals. A hard ground will cause the auger the equipment to shake & hard to control. Overall, this auger is ausome. It's powerfull and will do the job. Issues - upon receiving the product, the oil bottle that was enclosed leaked. Oil leaked inside the package area and did not affect the operation. The oil bottle seal was broken and all the oil leaked. Recommend, check for leaking oil before accepting package. ... show more

  • 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
