Once I got the hang of this, it worked great. Although at first I did have to do a little bit of wrenching on it...When I first started using it, after about 10 minutes the auger would stop as soon as any downward pressure was applied (which is mainly it's own weight, you don't really need to press down). This was frustrating and I thought I might have a dud. I needed it to work to be able to dig the 36" deep 12" wide holes for my footers however. So, I decided to take it partially apart to see if I could find the culprit. The gears were completely fine, but the centrifugal clutch seemed to be loose from the shaft.What is supposed to happen: The spinning shaft is connected to a centrifugal clutch (see picture), which has springs that upon centrifugal force push against a cylindrical housing that is connected to the gears that turn the auger. However, the clutch could move independently of the shaft, so it needed tightening. The drawstring housing just unscrews to give you access to the other side of the shaft (you'll need a socket on one end and allen wrench on the other). It may sound complicated, but it's only a handful of screws and then you're right there.After tightening that, this thing worked awesome. I dug 13 holes, 3ft deep by 12" wide.I read several reviews about the drawstring breaking, so I was very gentle with it and had no issues.I would recommend using the smaller auger (6") first and then the bigger(12"), just to give you a pilot hole to center on. Maybe if you have two people that wouldn't be an issue, but I did not and it has a lot of snort. I found I was able to dig down 8-10 inches at a time and then would need to lift it up to knock off the mud/clay. This probably would depend on your soil though.Also, it comes with a small plastic container for mixing the oil and gas. It isn't anything great, but it gets the job done very easily.All in all, I really like the auger. It cost slightly more than it would have been to rent one for a couple days. Now I'm ready to go for my fence rebuild next year.

I was pleasantly surprised with this post hole digger. It went together easily. Added fuel and it started up right away…. Used the 6†auger for some fence posts. The holes we dug were 2†deep. It did it with ease. Something to note is that the ground was a bit soft from wet weather a week before. But I had used a hand digger on 6 post the day before I used this one and it took me most of a day. With this new gas powered digger, in 3 hours I dug 13 holes. Remember though that it is not a mirical worker…. I hit rock in two different locations. It will not dig through rock! Also if the hole has rock in it, you need to move carefully as to not get the Uber stuck.

Bought this little machine about a year and a half ago and couldn't be happier. I've drilled several post and planting holes from 4" to 8". We've gone through 4 or 5 tanks of gas which is quite a bit of run time and it's started easily every time. We have a lot of caliche in our soil which is hard to get through. If it's where the caliche seam is thin it will usually go right through. If it's too thick we drill until the auger won't go any more, pull the auger out, smack the bottom of the hole a few times with a heavy digging bar and go right back at it. I'm 64 years old and not a very big guy. The machine is light enough to handle easily and heavy enough that you don't get beat to death drilling.

UPDATE 8/16/22:This bad boy was built to work! Still happy with my purchase all this time later and just finished 8 more 36" deep holes after months in storage. 6 out of 5 stars 🌟This machine is just does a great job. I purchased it partially expecting it to fall apart or seize the little motor.Boy was this thing worth the money!! Set 26 holes 12in x 30 inch deep with a second person in less than 2 hours, in Colorado clay!!!The 25:1 fuel ratio was hard to get around until I had the help of thinking to add a 50:1 mix for a gallon to a 2 gallon jerry can.Motor took a few pulls to start first time running it, was responsive to the finger throttle. Kill switch was convenient and placed well. Drill came fully assembled at a separate time than the auger for a heads up. The auger box looked like it was sent through a war zone prior to coming to CO, however no damage at all was done to auger. Speaking of the auger, it looked super lightweight and I was sure it was going to tear itself apart before using the first time, I WAS WRONG, VERY WRONG. Auger is almost unscathed after the gauntlet I ran it through.I doubt that anyone would be disappointed with this machine, however DO NOT RUN THE 12 INCH AUGER WITHOUT HELP, YOU WILL REGRET IT. The 12 inch auger has enough surface area to toss a person or clip an unwatched foot.Great buy, now I need some smaller augers!!
