Customer Review(s)
Customer Rating: Summary: Long search ended Comment: My Dad, purchased this item 60 years ago, and I sold it at a garage sale 20 years ago because I did not need it anymore. Recently needed it again and could not locate it. Lucky to find it so I purchased it and my job was as easy as pie.
If you need an easy way to put up fence posts, this is the tool.
Customer Rating: Summary: Pefect for digging a shallow well Comment: I needed something to dig down approximately 30 feet. This auger was perfect. the handle can be extended with 3/4 inch pipe and couplings. It got rather heavy lifting the auger out as I dug deeper, but it was doable. It took approximately three hours to dig down 22 feet. I hit water at 16 feet so I stopped at 22. I will use a 4" PVC pipe for a well casing.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Customer Service Comment: My order was receieved a day earlier than expected. Their customer service is fast, courteous, friendly, and professional. I am waiting for another shipment of the same item. I hope to be able to write another good review.
Customer Rating: Summary: neat tool Comment: A well made tool is a joy to use. Perfect for fence posts. I bought several of these in different sizes for Boy Scout Pioneering projects. They work great in soil and even small kids can make perfect holes. Remember to sharpen them from time-to-time with a file. We marked the hole depth on the tube shaft with a paint marker. The Scouts have a propensity to keep drilling until the handle in on-the-ground and of course, why not if its this easy. The soil type is important. In our part of southern california we have adobe soil, hard as concrete when dry, like chocolate pudding when too wet. So this tool is best when a hand-full of soil holds a ball shape.
