Great tool for the price. Very sturdy. We were just planting small shrubs, if you're going to plant something over 5 gallon pot I might get the next up.

Max 36" depth without an extension. Bought this to help install a fence, digs 36" post hole in about a minute. No issues digging in the sandy soil with some clay here. It will cut thru small roots, larger ones will stop it, and you'll have to cut them. Heavy wet clay soil can stop it as well. Rocky soil will slow it, if rocks are heavy you may have to stop and break them up. Easy to use, let it do the work. Added gas and it started right up no problem runs great.

This is a good earth auger, well built, starts easy, handles nice for one person; control (plastic throttle lever) seems a little light duty, but has worked fine so far. Putting in a chain link fence; drilling 8" corner holes and 6" inline holes. Works great. Has difficulty with heavy packed clay but would drill it if I kept plunging into it. I am over 70 so easer to just use post hole digger for the last few inches. Would be nice to have a bubble level on the top to get holes more plumb - especially when drilling on a slight slope as slopes are deceptive to get a plumb hole. Will try to glue a bubble level on the top. Putting in a cattle fence next, so I will try digging with a 12" bit. May try drilling with the 8" bit then take it bigger with the 12" as I anticipate difficulty using the 12" bit in this heavy clay as it will probably over load the power head. Tried using the extension but to much resistance in the clay soil.

Easy to start and assemble. 5 stars in clay or light shale soil types. Rocky soil, not so good. Good power as well. In soil that is not full of rocks you can power down 30" in less than a minute. Good value for the money.

i love this thing,it augers holes like a mole on crack,it put in 10 holes with a ten inch auger in under 30 minutes at 2.5 foot deep,it only took that long because it was wearing my arms out holding onto this thing i bet a really strong man could have had them in in ten minutes flat.i will warn you though,if you hit a big root or a big rock,this thing will flip you over end over end or rip your arms out of the sockets ,its a brute and it rocks,wish i had to auger a bunch more holes because i love this thing.

Received it yesterday. Except for installing the auger and tip it is fully assembled. two 9/16" wrenches and the auger is on and ready to go. They give you oil for 50:1 mix. I use the premix from Lowes which is alcohol free fuel and all my small engines never have problems on this fuel.I have clay soil with lots of wisteria vines and rocks. I am 70 years old and have no stamina in the heat and humidity of Alabama and there is no way I can plant my garden with a shovel. I bought this unis to dig he holes to transplant my veggies from the greenhouse. It took a few pulls to start the first time. After than one or two at most and it fired right up. Because it is 2 stroke engine you want to run wide open to keep the plug from fouling. It is geared perfecting and the auger spring help absorb shock if you hit roots or rocks. after digging a hole I just jam it into the ground and it sits upright until I am ready for the next hole. I keep the auger going and move it up and down to throw dirt from it and clear the hole. It is made in America and one of the reasons I bought this model.

I have two augers. The Predator, 52cc from Harbor Freight, and now this one. The 43cc makes no notable difference in the hard, cold, packed clay I’ve been working on. In fact, the bit that this comes with makes ALL the difference. It’s very clearly well built, and designed with a purpose and saved my arms a couple times with the spring on the bit. It helps a lot!Couldn’t recommend this auger more, especially for the price. Two holes in this clay and it paid for itself. Unfortunately for me, I have 26 more to go!

Works like a champ, runs like a champ. But make sure you got a good grip on it, this is a bigger model, if you're not holding on good, it can rock you around, I'm a 200 pound man, and I had to grip it good with both hands. But does the job, and for a great price!
