Draper 1050 x 150mm Fence Post Auger - 24414

This Auger was ordered because, for some reason, they are nearly impossible to come by in the United States. I'm not sure why this product isn't available in every hardware store in America. Because my fence was so close to the power lines, I decided against using a power auger. I didn't want to take the chance of hitting them while they were digging. This item did not fall short of my expectations. br>br>This is a simple tool that does exactly what it says it will. make holes in the ground The only catch is that it will require some effort on your part to make it work. I would also suggest getting a post hole digger. The best method I discovered was to break the surface with the auger and screw it in as low as possible until there is too much resistance, then pull up the dirt, scoop out the dirt with the post hole digger, and repeat. Digging 30 inch holes took me an average of 15 minutes. I played 11 holes in one day and had no problems with any of them. I also recommend having a hatchet on hand in case you come across any roots. TAKE AWAY: br>br> If you're digging holes and want to cut your digging time in half while maintaining pinpoint accuracy, this tool is for you.

I am a 64-year-old woman who is not in great physical shape. I was able to dig a 30-inch-deep post hole with it, and I intend to do four more with it. 5 more. It's not impossible for me to accomplish! Although the shipping cost exceeded the cost of the item, and it is a specialty tool, it is still a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional. I'm really happy with it.

No, it won't dig for you, but it's the best manual tool for digging a post hole there is. It's so simple to use that even I, a petite woman, can do it. Why isn't this sold in the United States instead of those stupid double shovels that will break your back faster than you can dig a hole? It's also surprising how light this tool is. So, if you're looking for the simplest way to manually dig a few holes of this size, don't hesitate to purchase it. You will not be sorry. My husband, who spent a lot of his childhood on his grandfather's farm digging holes with post hole diggers, couldn't believe how much easier this tool was to use.

I took a chance on this tool, as evidenced by the photo. I'm glad I took the opportunity. But not before I took a look at the drill spiral and lead spike it came with. I've used a variety of "drills," and this dirt drill required the same level of "sharpness" as any other drill. I used my hand grinder to sharpen the drill edges to their sharpest point. My weight was firmly placed on the drill handle, and as I twisted it into the dirt, it began to gouge downward; I know the sharp edges I used helped. My soil, where I dug the 8 holes I needed, is not particularly forgiving, but I was pleased to see that it had uplifted golf ball size stones and other smaller sizes, no doubt due to the blade of the drill slid fortunately beneath them. I did have to pull out the drill and use the crowbar to nudge a few rocks here and there, but not on a regular basis. As for the roots, what do you think? I easily sliced through them with the sharp edge I used. As I used the drill, I used it with a determined force at all times. In any case, the roots are mushy. I was worried about hitting a few rocks once I broke through the easy 3 inch layer of top soil. Simply maintain proper footing, turn firmly, and sharpen the device as necessary; I drilled all of the holes faster than I anticipated. This is a tool that I highly recommend. Ha! …. I also saved a lot of money by not renting a gas post hole drill, as well as a lot of energy by not trying to use a vertical post hole digger with a long handle.

Then there's the bad. It was ordered in April, around the 27th of the month, I believe. By May 4th, all assignments must be completed. There was no joy on May 4th. According to the tracking, it went through Customs and stayed there for two days before heading to Cincinnati, where it was scanned on the 4th and. Nada. On the 15th, it was finally identified as Scanned- After that, there was nothing. The 17th was the date of delivery. br>br>Now, I'm not blaming the Seller; however, this is yet another sign that things are falling apart. Be prepared for '6 to 8 weeks' or worse-case scenarios. At this rate, it could take months or years, as it did in the days of ye olde sailing ships. br>br>Now it's time to get down to business with the Tool. Strong. The paint has a textured finish. Baked Potatoes come to mind. On older stoves, Epoxy may have been used. It's a tough one, but it'll wear off in time. There's no need to be concerned. My soil is compacted clay/sand, almost like cement, so I took it outside for a test drive. It is in a difficult situation. That said, every other tool I've used, from a pickax to a standard manual post hole digger, has done the same thing. All it takes is a little bit of muscle and a little bit of Mule-know-how. I don't have much Mule in terms of body size, but I do have Orneriness, so it should work.

At another property I suspect it will speed up my hole digging 50% as it is compact sand.

Definitely a Tool for the She Oh, and it's made up of two parts: the main tool body with the screw and a T-shaped handle that fits into the upper part. You can use this to gain more leverage and power, or you can use it to- For more leverage, take it out and replace it with something longer. The habdle is also held in place by a set screw underneath the smaller T part.

Before it got to me, the paint was peeling off, but it really peels off once you hit a rock while using it. That said, it works great, and I'd rather have something that works than something that looks nice. Despite the fact that we live in a clay and rocky area, we were able to dig two-foot-deep holes for 4x4 fence posts. A digging pole was used to break up rocks and oak tree roots that were too large to auger.
