Would Not RecommendIt's a bit on the weak side. For the price I expected more HP. It struggled with any depth more than 6 inches in loose soil and even the smallest rock caused it to sieze.

Starts easy
Would Not RecommendDid not work well in my soil. Bought it to make severl holes quickly. Took longer to make holes than expected.

It works fabulously and is amazing.
Would RecommendWish i would have bought it sooner. Almost to much for one person but it more than gets the job done. Took me about an hour to drill over a hundred holes for fence post. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has an even remote usage for it.

Great machine for the price
Would RecommendThis auger is light enough for one person to operate, but, we found it worked best when two people worked on each side. The motor is pretty strong, we were working on some very rocky clay ground and this auger made digging post holes quick work.

Hot garbage
Would Not RecommendI dont write reviews often but this one has me pretty mad. This unit has so many design flaws its astounding the gas tank cant release enough pressure so it floods the carb making it impossible to start till you open the gas tank releasing the pressure, the exhaust is way too close to the plastic causing melting, the air filter cover just fell off, the auger bit is one sided so it just skips on anything other than soft soil, and the clutch out of the box had problems engaging so it would walk it...
24 3' holes less than 1 hr
Would RecommendThe auger did a great job. I had to dig 24 3' postholes and i had them dug within an hour. It wouldve been quicker but my arms got tired!!
