Works for stump removal

Would Recommend

I bought this to help remove a 7 inch amp of an apple tree. The purpose was to lever the stump out after all the main side roots were cut.

Disappointed in the strength of the bar.

Mild steel. Bent the first time I used it. Not as good as my dad's old school digging bar. I wish they made things as well as they used to.

This was a life saver! We had 6 large bushes that we had to plant in some very rocky red clay. We had already tried with multiple different types of shovels and gotten hardly any results.

Post Hole Bar

Would Recommend

Bought one in anticipation of post holes in clay soil. Worked well in the digs, even breaking some concrete blow outs that were in the way. Missouri rocks were a little more stubborn but at least they would move, if the bar was used as a wedge.

Essential tool

Would Recommend

This thing is heavy-duty and gets the job done (while building biceps). It feels super strong and solid and the weight of it lets gravity do half of the work for you. Highly recommended, essential for post-hole digging! Not sure how I lived without this tool my whole life, actually.
