Post Hole Digger Tool, Heavy Duty Post Hole Digger with Fiberglass Handle, 58 Inches

I am VERY pleased with these. I am replacing a cheap set which is over 30 years old. I had no idea how a good tool could make digging post holes so much easier. This tool is much heavier than the old one and it cuts through our concrete type dirt much, much better. The grips are comfortable and I was able to dig down 36 inches with no problem. It is a quality build and arrived sharp (for a post hole digger). Honestly, having now used the took, I think I got a really good deal on it.

I unpacked the tool and found it to be quite sturdy and it was well worth the price. It arrived promptly and the packaging was very appropriate. I would certainly recommend this.

Awesome digger. No issues.

This post hole digger seems to be of reasonable quality, featuring a decent gauge of metal and sturdy fiberglass handles. However, when fully opened to lift out [dry] sandy soil, the handles spread quite wide. This design limits how deep or steep the hole can be. Compared to my previous post hole digger, the issue arises because the curved blades are shorter, requiring a greater angle for the clamshell to fully close. If the manufacturer extended the curved blades by an inch or two, it would significantly improve functionality.6 month edit: I'm raising from 3 star to 4 star because the tool has held up very well. The fiberglass wood core handles have taken abuse twisting in Florida's sandy and palm root filled soil and have not cracked. The jaws have remained aligned and the bolts, with nylon nuts, have not loosened. The tool is slightly heavy but that's the toll for heavy gauge metal.Regarding the spreading and hole mouth size, digging a two foot deep out hole gives a tight vertical 8 inch hole. Digging down 2.5 feet gives about a 15 inch mouth. A 3 foot deep hole gives a 2 foot mouth.

Works well. Well balanced.

Very well made and sturdy. Purchased for digging holes in the garden.

I have fibro/joint pain and we live outside of Austin in an area with sandy soil and black clay marbled throughout. These were easy to use, even for my small hands, and did not take as much exertion as I expected. There's also a lot of rocks, and these stood up to them. Made my difficult job a lot easier!

Joked as a kid digging post holes i was going for my PhD. Wish the PhD my dad had was as heavy duty as this one.
