  • An amazing tool. I am 59 years old and walk ...
An amazing tool. I am 59 years old and walk with a quad cane or walker due to a bad left leg. I dug a perfect 18-inch deep hole in about five minutes and that's because I was going slowly and cautiously. No mess at all. I had a plastic bag next to the hole, the auger held the dirt securely as I pulled it up, and I just shook it out into bag. One thing: It comes with a nice 21-inch wood handle that fits nice and tight. However, I needed to dig the hole within five inches of the fence. So I got a slightly thinner wood dowel from Home Depot (1-11/16 in. dia.) of the same length that I could pull through, and shorten either side as I came up against the fence when turning it, and used that as the handle. Worked great. Seriously, folks. If you need to dig a post hole, or a well for that matter, this is the tool for you. Don't waste your time with, and your money, on a pick, spade and clamshell. ... show more

  • Where has this been all my life?
Let me start by saying I am a 56 year old, 5'4" woman and our property has a lot of clay and rocks. So far I have dug out 5 holes to 42 deep each. The first three were a breeze, this carves through clay like a hot knife through butter. The last two I hit some large roots. This thing will cut small roots, but not 1" or more in diameter. Using other tools to deal with large roots. One thing to note is that rather than installing the handle, I put it in part way so that I could easily remove it. I bought a 1 1/4" x 36" hardwood dowel from Lowes and used it when I needed more leverage to dislodge rocks or cut small roots. It worked great. I highly recommend auger, it seems very well made and does its job. ... show more

  • Well Made Product
My hard-packed clay in Northern Illinois must be a little harder than the clay of some other reviewers, because it took me longer to dig, but this is a sturdy product and was easier than my former method of using a clamshell-type digger. I bought a Maxccino auger bit (currently $8.98 on Amazon) and coupled it up to a heavy duty electric drill to drill a 2-inch pilot hole in the center of the bore and that speeded up the process considerably. Other reviewers have mentioned the inadequacy of the screw that goes into the handle. I just omitted the screw. The handle fits very tightly into the tool, and I knocked it out with a mallet when I was done using it, which makes it a lot easier to store. ... show more

  • Gets the job done
A little light weight, but all in all a very good post hole auger

  • Very useful tool for digging post holes
This worked better than I expected! Let me lead off by saying that I used this tool along with a post hole digger. it made digging 15 post holes, 3 feet deep a lot easier. Neither the Auger nor the post hole digger were the perfect solution for getting the job done, however, together, they really made a difference. I was digging in kind of sandy soil, with some roots and some rocks. Roots and rocks are a recipe for disaster regardless of the tool. Here is what I did. I started my holes with the post hole digger, this helped get the hole started in the right place. if you go straight to the auger, it will walk all over until it starts to cut soil. for me, the top layer of soil had the roots etc, once I made a few inches of progress, I switched to the auger, I was able to dig down 8" at a time quite quickly if there were no roots or rocks, and getting to a 3 foot depth was much easier with the auger. When I did encounter issues, I switched back to the post hole digger until it cleared the area. Had I just used the post hole digger I would have been exhausted in no time. The auger could cut small roots as well. I do not want to give anyone false hope that this is a silver bullet and you will fly through post holes likes you had a power auger, but, I can say that you will get better results much faster and with less effort using this tool. This tool will also work great if you do a lot of planting in the garden or the landscape and makes a nice clean hole. ... show more

  • Old school post hole digger and more
The iwan-style auger is best used in established gardens, a deep hole is needed, non-rocky soil, and when you just aren't sure what might be below the surface (pipes, irrigation, sewer lines). I considered using my standard manual post-hole digger or even buying a gas-powered auger to dig 2-3 foot deep holes for 4x4 posts for garden trelli (or is it trellises) and low fence posts. With a powered auger, the problem is that with a garden of established plants, lifting the auger to clear the soil would result in soil being thrown about everywhere on the plants and the possibility of going right through any pipes under the surface. (Even with utilities located, old irrigation lines and sewer lines might be an unwanted surprise.) With a normal post-hole digger where you separate to lift the soil out, you can only dig deep with a 6-8' opening before the hole is too narrow to effectively lift soil out. Plus, it's a definite strain on your body when there are lots of post holes to dig out. This iwan-style auger is perfect for the job (as long as the situation meets the parameters in the first line of the review). Much less strain to turn the auger to dig. Lift the auger out and the soil comes with it. The hardest part of the work for me was tamping tool to get to wet clay out of the auger. There were a couple of instances where I knew were the irrigation and sewer lines were and got a little close. There is enough resistance for me that when you hit rocks, roots, or lines, I stop to take a look. I bought the 6" auger and that was sufficient for the 4x4" posts I was setting in clay with quick-set concrete for garden trellis plants and the 3' high fences. Some folks recommend at least a 8" diameter hole (or more) - of which a 8" version of this auger or even a variable diameter style is available. I didn't have a need for that much more concrete for stability. The only negative that I have is cost. Pre-pandemic (before the skyrocketing cost of goods and materials - specifically steel here), these were setting new for $50-60 everywhere. Now it's nearly impossible to find at the big box stores. When you do find them, these augers are $100+. I happen to find a "lower priced" one through an Ace Hardware out of Montana that sells on Amazon and ships nationally. Pricey, but a tool worth getting. ... show more
