Worth Its Weight In GOLD !!!
I used to use a post hole clam shell digger for many years in my garden. I'm 64 years old and it's very laboring now making 2' deep holes for 200 tomato plants and 6" deep holes for 275 hot and sweet peppers. I make my own tomato puree for sauce as well as making bottled hot sauces. I looked at battery versions of augers but they seem to die out from the reviews. I didn't want a gas model that would probably send me to the E.R. This was the most reasonably priced and had enough power to get the job done. Also the 4" bit was the perfect size for my plants. I drilled 100 two foot deep holes in about 1 hour and the soil was not tilled at all !! I would never be able to do that with the post hole digger. One suggestion: Hold the auger securely at arms length away from your body. I found out the hard way when it did catch a root and the handle hit the inside of my thigh. It could have been worse of course !! The nice feature if this unit is the fact that you can "Jog It" so it drills a little deeper slowly every time you hit and release the switch. Once you get used to it, it's really easy. Listen, this is one of the best purchases I've made on Amazon in many years.

I was hesitant at first to buy this Auger. I was not sure if I can handle it (I'm 5'4"/110lbs). So, I've asked on Amazon about it. Thanks to all the responses that I've got, I purchased this auger and can say that I am very happy with my purchase. It came very nicely packed, nothing missing, and easy to put together. I already used it several times, "drilling" around 10-15 holes each time and it works great. Not too heavy, and as long as you keep it firmly and straight - it does its job perfectly. This auger is strong enough to go through the tough red clay. I was able to plant over 40 shrubs and trees in just 2 weekends. Money well spent!

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020
Worked well for drilling holes for 16 fence posts this week. I used a 6 inch diameter auger with 8 inch extension to easily drill 34 inch deep holes in sandy soil. It has enough power and torque to twist out of my hands when hitting an immovable object such as a large deep root so a heavier and more powerful unit is unnecessary. I powered it with two 100 ft 12 AWG extension cords in series plugged into a 20 amp house outlet with no problems. I got this electric unit for instant-on convience as opposed to having to wrestle with pull-starting a gas unit that might take longer to get started than the time it takes to drill the hole. Also it doesn’t spew oily exhaust fumes in my face.

I dreaded using my manual posthole digger to dig 14 new holes for a new fence. This tool is a great helper but is not perfect.
Read the reviews and heed the warnings about drilling too deep too fast. I got the auger stuck twice in my clay soil and had to dig it out by hand. Don’t rock it back and forth to loosen it like did! The 4” auger bent and was unusable after the second dig out. Luckily I had bought an extra 6” auger bit which dug a better hole anyway. There is no reverse so getting stuck means digging it out. Avoid this problem by continuously drilling down and pulling up. This brings dirt out of the hole and works pretty well. I still had to use a manual post hole digger because most of the soft dirt falls back into the hole but the electric post hole digger made it a lot easier. The bits are 30 “ long so if you want to go deeper you use your manual post hole digger. Be careful about running into roots, rocks or concrete. When it meets an unmovable object it can jerk suddenly in the opposite direction and that handle is sure to hit you in the thigh or worse!

OMG I love this thing!!! We must have 2 different layers of caliche within a 3-foot depth. This was purchased to make the digging easier. We are putting up a perimeter fence around an acre of land. That is a LOT of post holes (1 every 10 ft). We got it unpacked, plugged in and when it is set on the ground and turned on, it just seems to go on its own into the earth. For such a small, lightweight (28 lbs) tool, it worked like a dream. If you are going down the whole 3 ft, and doing numerous holes, this can be a bit rough on the back from all the bending over.

The ONLY downside we have come across so far, there is no reverse. If you get it lodged in a hole, you will need to unplug it and move it in reverse without grabbing the handles.

We weren't expecting this to arrive for at least a week. It showed up on my doorstep in half the time. Had a minor issue with FedEx, but that has been taken care of.

On the plus side, it's very powerful. It cuts through the dirt very well but beware, it has a LOT of torque. If it gets hung on a root or a big rock, it can jerk the device out of your hands if you aren’t prepared.

The down side — unlike my electric drill, and pretty much any other electric motor used to drive a bit or shaft, it has NO reverse. Why does this matter? If, as noted above, it gets hung under a root or large rock, there is no easy way to back the bit out. I’ve had it stuck and had to disengage the bit from the drive, then use a piper wrench to reverse the bit until I could spin it by hand back out of the hole.

Seems like a no-brainer that an electric auger this powerful would have a reverse. No such luck.
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
Like everyone else in this pandemic world, I'm at home all day, e'eryday, and as such, I'm focused on all things DIY and home improvement. One of our bigger DIY home improvement projects has been to install a fence. Given that I've never put in a fence before having an auger at hand was instrumental. The $185 I paid (it's about $20 higher now as I write this) for this paid dividends. Sometimes I could dig a 2.5' hole in 15 minutes. It was insanely fast.

Of course, that wasn't most holes because there were plenty of rocks and roots which rock and rolled me for sure. But, if it wasn't for this auger, the whole job would've taken helluva a lot longer especially because I dug 45 holes (I'm insane I know). Even if there were rock and roots that blocked my way this auger helped loosen up the tight dirt and all the obstacles packing it.

Pro Tip #1: When drilling keep your legs as wide as possible so as to clear the diameter of the tool. That is, if you care about the family jewels and generally protecting your legs from getting bruised up. A bump here and there never hurt anyone but when you have to dig a ton of holes and when sometimes digging a hole could take up to two hours (I had some gnarly rocks/roots in my yard) you want to prevent as much self-damage as possible. When you hit a tough rock/root, this tool will not budge and it's not the fault of the tool. It's just when a powerful force meets the immovable objects the latter seems to win most of the time.

Pro Tip #2: When drilling try to go in for 5-15 seconds (depending on how much depth you are getting per dig) and pull up from the ground so as to clear the dirt from the drill bit. Doing this will seem like it takes more time but it will reduce overall effort. Unless you are awesome at deadlifting heavy things (and even then you still want to do this because I deadlift something like 385-400lb pre-COVID-19 and I found this to be helpful), you will want to reduce the amount of weight you have to pull from the ground. The drill is heavy enough.

Pro Tip #3: Once you've loosened up enough dirt, get the tool out of there and use a good 'ol clamshell post hole digger and get the loosened dirt out. This will be a lot faster and it'll allow you to get to the lowest depth to keep digging much faster/easier. Otherwise you'll be fighting through the already loosened dirt, roots, and rocks instead of being able to work through without those hindrances.

Good luck with your digging!
