The emergency switch won't stop the drill when pressed. What should I do? This may be due to a faulty emergency stop switch or poor wiring contact/short circuit. Please check whether the switch wiring is loose or broken. Once confirmed, we will send you a replacement throttle handle. The internal drive shaft connecting the drill attachment has separated from the gearbox. What should I do?

Please provide your order number, a video of the issue, and a serial number photo – we will send a replacement machine. The drill loses power noticeably while digging and gives off a burning/overheating smell. What's wrong? This is usually caused by clutch slipping, or the drill bit being jammed or overloaded. First check if the drill bit is stuck by debris. If the issue persists after clearing the jam, please provide us your order number and a video of the problem

Great Machine and does the job
Size Name: 54CC
This auger works well once it's broken in. A little hard starting at first but stays running strong and is able to drill through just about any type of soil just make sure you can properly hang on by not forcing the machine. Tip) - If you have hard ground dampen the soil and let the water soak in a bit before you start. ... show more

Great Auger
Size Name: 54CC
I love it. I use the proper fuel, start it up a couple times during the winter months, and it started immediately in the spring. I highly recommend it.

Great so far but......
Size Name: 54CC
Starts right up and has plenty of power.if you hit a root you’ll know it.it will give you a pretty good kick. I drilled 5 12” holes and it worked great.the only problem I had was the third time I hit the kill switch it didn’t work. I just used the choke lever to shut it off. I might contact the seller but it’s not that big a deal but it’s just the point that it’s new and it shouldn’t have broken that quick. ... show more

Good value
Size Name: 54CC
I used to use post hole diggers almost every week when I built decks for a living 35 years ago. I used a two man digger and it was still miserable every time we hit a rock. I rented them because purchasing one was so expensive. This digger is much smaller than the ones I used to use and a small fraction of the price. I was skeptical that it could do the job, but figured I would try as it was less than a few days of rental. I am a big guy (about 290lbs) and it sent me flying as it hit rocks. That sounds bad, but it a question of physics - is it easier for the digger to go through rock or throw me across the lawn. I was tossed across the lawn. It has plenty of power. After feeling like I was breaking my wrist a few times, I found the best method was to use the throttle to ease downward and feel the rocks as I went pulling up to clear the hole of dirt often. I would adjust the direction and position the bit to knock the rock loose. Once I got the knack of the digger, I found it was easy to control and its light weight was a feature not a flaw. I could pull it out of the hole quickly which pulled a lot of dirt out. Sometimes the best option is to set the digger aside and pull rocks out by hand, but I also used a wet/dry shop vac and pressure washer to clear the hole and dig when I was near our propane line. That method make a mud pit around the hole and is no fun. However, the combination of digger, shop vac, pressure washer, and hand tools made the job of many post holes for a fence reasonable for one over weight soon to be senior citizen. My unit starts easily, but I am used to two cycle engines. It uses the same fuel mix as my Stihl equipment (50:1) so it was easy to keep fueled. In fact, I did my whole fencing project and didn't need to refuel once. So far it has worked for me and was already a bargain over renting the equipment for a few days to do the immediate job. Now I have a digger for other projects. ... show more

Doesn’t start-
Size Name: 54CC
You can not get a refund through Amazon for this product. Ours does not start. Now we are trying to contact the seller via email, no one answers the phone obviously. Now our job will be getting pushed back at least a week or 2. I read some good reviews and was hopeful, but now we are left with a huge tool that doesn’t work and no option to return. I will update review when I hear back from the seller and let you know how long it takes to get it resolved. ... show more

Tons of power but hold on tight
Size Name: 54CC
Works well and fuel efficiency was better than expected. If you have rocky ground beware it will snag and rip out of your hands. Use was easy and it’s not all that heavy. For what I used it for, it was worth the price versus renting one.

Excellent time saving and easy to use tool
Size Name: 54CC
I highly recommend this tool. I was concerned with some of the feedback from others, but let me provide additional information. A point was brought up about the mixing of oil and gas. The auger comes with a great container where it's marked how much gas and oil to put in to have the right mix. It actually has measurements for 25:1 as well for other tools, but you have the 50:1 to use for this tool. There should be no issues with this. The bigger concern for me was the twisting of your body when auger stops. There are two things to avoid this. Make sure your left leg or body is tightly against the auger so if it starts to go, you can absorb the motion. Secondly, you'll learn that when you see it slightly resisting or vibrating (not in a something is wrong with tool) then stop, get rocks out, and continue. I dug 24" holes very quickly. Small strokes and lift to get dirt out, and every so often stop and get more dirt out with your hand, continue, and you are where you want to get to with no problems. This saves a lot of time, and hard work to dig out a hole manually. I like this auger specifically due to the two extensions, and many sizes of bits. I highly recommend this. I had an issue with a leaking gas cap, but customer service was very quick to respond and they sent me a replacement cap for free with no issues. ... show more
