    Customers find the drill bit easy to use. They say it makes fencing, planting, and digging a breeze. They also mention that it drastically shortened the time and effort to put in the 10 fence posts. Customers also appreciate that it's a lot less physical to use than a post hole digger.

    Customers like the value of the tool. They say it's worth what they paid, saves a lot of money and stress, and makes the process fun. Some say the cost per hole was too cheap.

    Customers are mixed about the cut quality of the tool. Some mention that it cuts through small roots pretty well, and digs pretty fast. Others say that it's no good at getting through thick roots, and struggles to cut through certain materials. Overall, opinions are mixed.

    "...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...." Read more

    "...Like any manual post hole digger, it will not bore through big rocks, but smaller stones can usually be jiggled out by rotating the auger back and..." Read more

    23 customers mention13 positive10 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the tool. Some mention that it's easier on the joints and back, and saves sore muscles. However, some say that it struggles a bit with large rocks in the hole and is not good for deeper holes.

    "...Much less strain to turn the auger to dig. Lift the auger out and the soil comes with it...." Read more

    "...Even smallish rocks will stop the auger, they have to be removed some other way, before the auger will go deeper...." Read more

    "...the clam shell hole digger, and this thing here is just so easy and painless and fun to use to dig a hole...." Read more

    "...Struggles a bit with large rocks in the hole. Don't toss your old diggers and keep them handy when using this...." Read more

    Customers have negative opinions about the handle of the tool. They say it's useless, rough, and splintery. Some customers also report that the handle is missing or damaged.

    "...Cons: Handle is very long, so it's not good in a tight corner...." Read more

    "...The threads of the auger end are painted so that it will have to be clamped into a vise to try to unthread it from the shaft...." Read more

    "...of metal pipe in place of the wood in the future, because the wood is so damaged I don't think even several heavy coats of varnish will seal up the..." Read more

    "...However, the wooden handle is heavily lacquered and a bit oversize, so I was able to attach it snuggly without the screw simply by banging it on..." Read more

    Useless handle will give you splinters! Auger itself is fine.

    Useless handle will give you splinters! Auger itself is fine.
    The wood grain on the included wooden handle was horribly torn out. I remember thinking when I first opened that package that it is a splinter waiting to happen. Lo and behold, within 5 minutes of using the auger for the first time I got a nasty splinter from the handle! I'll be using a piece of metal pipe in place of the wood in the future, because the wood is so damaged I don't think even several heavy coats of varnish will seal up the torn grain enough to protect from splinters.The auger itself works fine, and I'd definitely use it over post hole diggers. As others have noted, it struggles in rocky soil and around large tree roots, but in soft soil it works fine. It seemed to work fine out of the box but I'll be sure to keep a metal file around to sharpen the blades in case it gets pinged by any rocks. Augers of this design are especially nice because you can use 3/4 inch threaded pipe as an extension on the stock handle; I've even dug a water well with one before. If you are intending to dig a water well with one though, keep in mind that when you hit saturated soil it becomes very difficult to remove the auger in time before the mud/sand drips back into the hole, so there is a limit to the depth that you can reach.All in all it is a useful tool to have around. Like I said before though, the wooden handle is useless and speaks of poor quality control, and if others arrive in similar condition to mine, you WILL hurt yourself by using it. If you don't mind turning your own replacement handle on a lathe or using a piece of metal pipe in its place, then you will be just fine.

    I was able to easily add extension pipe to dig a hole 16 feet deep. Can't do that with a post hole digger. I did have some trouble with small rocks (3" or more). They required some extra ingenuity but that is not this digger's fault.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2022

    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.

    One the best tools I ever purchased. We redid a fence and dug about 30 holes with the Auger. Each hole went down to about 3.8-3.9 feet...right until the handle touches the ground, therefor almost right on the 4foot mark(frost line).

    The diameter of the holes was perfect for a 10 foot 4x4 post and that left enough room for 1.5 to max 2 bags of Concrete(30Kg each).

    The auger is high quality and it makes digging a breeze, plus the price vs the rent of a gas power auger is perfect.

    The only thing you need to take care of are: roots, rocks, bricks and old concrete that we found when we were digging...but as long as you have a crowbar(to get the rocks,bricks out) and a saw to cut the roots...you won't be stopped by any type of soil. Best investment ever, plus a very good workout.
