Thank you for calling BS truly BS. I love honesty. Great job well done.

Electric post hole diggers can be had for a couple of hundred bucks and they come with two sizes of augers--a 3" and a 6"! They come with long handles to apply the torque necessary to get the job done. Of course, for remote work where electricity is out of reach, gas-powered post hole diggers can be used although their prices are a lot more.

But they’re not…gas augers are nearly the same cost.

Might be good for 'pilot holes' ....bust up some hard dirt or get in between the rocks then hit it with your actual auger. Just a thought.

Love this one! One of your most successful sarcasm/facetiousness efforts yet, ... and you still found something good to say about it! That's sarcasm with class. 🤜🤛

I use a 1 1/4" HAMMER DRILL and CONCRETE BIT to predrill for T-posts in the extremely rocky mountain top soil I own. The T-post goes right in, and gets more solid with every rain.

Absolutely the perfect tool to take to the beach to put up umbrellas.

It may help do plummed pilot holes for 1.5" metal fencing poles partner with a pole driver.

Maybe but in our area I doubt it.

I start the hole and fill it with water the previous day works like a charm.

The classic garden bulb auger. Also how to prematurely wear out your drill and let the magic smoke out after a few holes. Pretty sure the typical hardware stores sell these in their garden sections.

I have one of those. I bought it at Home Depot in their garden dept. It is to dig holes for plants, but you are right, it digs post holes good too. I'll give you a tip: Dig post holes when the ground is wet & soft. We have wet winters here in California so thats when we dig. This December I need to dig 8 post holes. !

I use mine around the garden and for setting temporary electric fence posts. Ive even used it with the extension to drill out an 8" fence post hole on the side of a hill where my auger wasnt sane or practical to use. Ive also used it with a diy 8' extension to drill a hole under a slab to run pvc under it. But i wouldnt even consider it even if it had been my only tool for like when i had to put up 200 posts around one of my pastures. It, like all tools, have their purpose, and can be used to do some jobs ok they wernt best fitted to, but not the best idea to do.

Dude you did not expand your hole for the size of the post and you did not clean out your hole like you would with post hole diggers. I have seen other DIYers have success doing the same thing you did!! Appreciate the vid!!

I have a drill auger (sold by Sutton Tools here in Australia) for building retaining walls. 6" (150mm) diameter, 18" (450mm) depth, 7/16" hex chuck. With a decent drill (Milwaukee m18 fuel) it is a HUGE timesaver. Can get a dozen holes to full depth on 1 battery. In rocky ground I require a fencing bar in conjunction (drill, dislodge, repeat - maybe 3 or 4 times per hole). Can buy a 300mm extension as well (I just finish the hole with the bar and shovel if I need to go any deeper). Quality product! - this one looks cheap and nasty!!!

If your serious about holes a tractor mounted hydraulic auger is the go. I have one of these drill augers to try to dig holes for plants. You don't know my soil - it is rock hard. I try to dig 4 holes per planting so that I can go to shovel depth. Sometimes I cannot even get the auger to depth with my drill auger and have to fill what pilot holes I make with water to soften it up overnight. For star pickets my investment in a very hefty jackhammer with a star picket bit was the only viable choice. If you have luscious loamy soil you'll have no idea what I'm talking about.

I bought one longer and about 4 times as wide. Cost about $10 and it works great. It doesn't remove the soil for you , well it does remove a good bit at first, i'll take it. But it loosens the dirt so you only have to extract it, If not too rocky the post hole digger pulls the loose soil right out. Works almost as good as renting those big powered auger devices from Home Depot. Saves you the money, and the time, and fits easily in your truck ready to go. This guy probably knows stuff I don't, but he didn't even try. DIgging into dry dirt works best, wet just sticks to the blade and the digger. Rocks- hate em. no idea how to break thru them. Anyone? Oh, and I use the hammer setting when I want to widen or just break up dirt, non hammer to dig deep. Also just wedge it against the side in a bind to widen or redirect the hole, like you do if your drill bit is just a shy too small when your drilling through thin wood. Wobble it. Have fun.

That was funny stuff made me laugh when you where digging with that I was like wtf is that gonna do. You would go threw about 40 battery charges but yes good for tiny plants

Maybe put in some line posts for chain link fence … if they are in sand and…. Nah… I would rather be seen digging holes with pink clamshells than to have people think I fell for that scam! Thanx for the chuckle!!!

😆 Well, we typically use skidsteers and auger drills...

You can get 6 inch versions

Depend really. For a simple homeowner, the 3"x24" auger bit can help starting the hole. Then you go at the side and bottom with a shopvac. If it's hard clay, go at it with a pressure washer, then shopvac all the muddy mess. Nasty business but it work way faster than manual Post Hole Diggers. But of course, if you are a pro, it's all nonsense. You need real tools.

Buy Harbor Freight hole auger and buy the better auger bit. I have worked mine to death and it keeps ongoing. I also have bought a 3" auger from a farm supply. So now I have 3" 6" and 8" auger bits. The auger is a beast from harbor freight. I tried using in soil that was unknown to me to be river rock. I sheared the pin that attaches the bit to the hole auger. Then rented a skid steer and auger to find out I should have rented the skid steer with a backhoe instead. The river bed is very difficult ground to deal with. The skid steer constantly jammed up on the rocks and the holes ended up being more like pits. I persisted and got the job complete.
