Durable auger
Would RecommendGot auger with 6" blade and think a 8" would do better for 4x4 fence posts. But very durable auger.

It’s better than post hole diggers
Would Recommendthe auger came packed well. Assembly was very easy and unit isn’t super heavy. It took a couple pulls to get it going. I’ve only drilled a couple holes so far but it was worth every dollar. You can use two people with it.

Dead On Arrival
Would Not RecommendBought product based off great reviews. Never could get the item to stay running. It would start with the choke but immediately died when the choke was turned off.

Saved my back and my time- worked great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a DIY guy, I decided to put in a fence to keep my dog in the backyard. Using this Auger made digging the post hole extra easy, even going through one tree root with ease. Digging holes can be murder on your back. Rent or buy one of these, your back will be happy.

Slow order pack
This review is not on the product because I have not received it yet. I ordered this on 1/14 in the morning because the website said the delivery date would be 1/17. The tracking says delivery will be 1/18. This is needed for a project that needs to be completed 1/17. This is the 3rd time I have ordered online and either the store or the warehouse drops the ball. I am over it.

Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in May 2024. I have used it twice. The first time, it did not want to start. When it did start, it worked great. I took it out again today 8/2024. It did not start and the pull-start mechanism broke.
