Easy to assemble and surprisingly powerful. I was able to cut through clay soil with relative ease. Being electric, no more replacing gas lines and carburetors. Definitely worth the money.

This electric auger is a beast! It makes digging holes for fence posts, trees, or even those pesky weeds a breeze. The 1500W motor has plenty of power to get through tough soil, and the 6" auger bit digs deep and fast. It's a little heavy, but the sturdy construction feels built to last. Definitely a worthwhile investment for any homeowner or serious gardener.

It does job and has lot of torque. Its lighter (and quieter, no fumes in face) than petrol versions and worked well in sandy soil. I connected mine to a 3kw portable generator The Lack of the ability to reverse direction is a serious flaw given it will get stuck on roots or rocks. The torque is strong enough to cause injury if not careful.UPDATE. After cutting 60+ holes for paddock my opinion has improved. If dig in stages and remove the soil as you go , it is far less likely to bind. If you feel an obstruction stop and clear it or cut root . It will get caught by roots and so you will need a method to pull free. Once set up, its quick to dig a run of post holes. .

After having my relatively new 2cycle (HF) auger crap out on me.. with 20 holes to go.. and wasted half a day tinkering on it , I happened on this electric auger. Being a little skeptical, but overwhelmed by the idea of being able to just pick it up and have a usable tool, I went for it. I have a small 80cc firman generator that worked just fine. I threw it on the tractor along with the auger, and took off. I WAS BLOW AWAY BY THIS LITTLE BEAST!!! It munched through roots, and dug into gumbo (a thick clay soil that’s either gooey or super hard ..smoking tools in a heartbeat)… This little auger made my day so easy!! Really.. I don’t want to work harder.. the ergonomics are good, and I was less fatigued due to its lighter weight! My post are 200lbs, so any cut on labor is a blessing. And do you know what the next best part is??? I know that if it sits for a year.. it’s still gonna work!!! I am delighted with this purchase!! And I hope it does as well for you!! I have a feeling I will be digging more holes just because it is so darn effective! Quality: good, Power: good, ergonomics: good. Auger bit: good, sharp. I do hope this tool makes you as happy as it did me.

Solid construction powerful auger was a surprise for the price. Digging down 8 inch wide holes 29 inches deep was fast and easy. However incorrect use of any auger can result in a fractured wrist, hand or arm if it catches on a rock, root, or hard gravel and you don't release the power switch fast enough and let go of the auger. You have to know what type of soil you are augering into. You want to maintain a firm grip on the device but at the same time make sure you are able to release it quickly in case it grabs onto something and starts twisting. If it starts twisting and you don't let go fast enough it can twist your arm right off because it has lots of power. Let the auger go down a couple of inches then pull it up and let it push the material away from the hole. Don't try to dig the hole all in one motion you got to do it in steps. In soft soil you can dig a hole in under a minute. In gravel or clay it might take you a couple of minutes to dig a hole going a little bit at a time. In packed gravel it can be slow going as you may need to break up the rock with a demolition pick then augur it out. Powerful electric motor. Advantage of electric motors over gasoline engines is that an electric motor always starts and requires no maintenance. Will be taking this up to Virginia to auger 40 post holes for my son's pig farm. This will make it quick and easy.The auger bit comes off with a simple cotter pin so it will fit in the trunk of a small car.

Installed 275 feet of fencing with this item and while yes, it does not have a clutch, it does have variable speed so you should not 'blast it' when digging or it will spin the top, and if you don't let go it could twist your wrists/arms. So just need to be careful. I bought two wrist wraps for wrist support which I think is helpful for the occasional spin. Usually you can tell if you are encountering a rock/root it will let you know. For us once we got past a certain layer in the dirt close to the house (from original construction rock/debris it appeared) it was clear sailing. For fencing away from the house the dirt is clear. Tip: Drill down, let drill stop and then pull out the drill which will pull the dirt with it without throwing it all over. Then the drill is light enough to flip it to the side and tap it to get dirt debris off it. Depending on your strength, how much of the drill you want to pull up, you kind of want to keep arms straight and do it like a deadlift. It helps you clearly need some strength to do this job. It is way easier and faster than post hole digging there is no doubt and the stress on your rotators / shoulders from manual post hole digging i think is greater than the risk of breaking a wrist. You don't want to be going 'full blast' on your first dig down, go slow with some pressure if you feel some resistance it is a rock or root. Once you clear things you can go back down faster with low pressure, let it stop, pull out and remove the dirt/clay. Overall I consider this item to be a 'lifesaver' on my shoulders, back and time as well. You still want to have a post hole digger because that can help you get through roots and dislodge rocks. I found a 45" tire iron also helps to knock out rocks wedged in the side of the hole. Wear gloves, wear wrist wraps to help protect your wrists. Use some common sense, let go of the drill if it stops and spins it will stop quickly as you need to squeeze the trigger to make it work. No issues with performance it is holding up well.

The strength of the product is there, but it is easy to sprain your hand, so be careful when using it
